British Army Data Terminal Carrier

DPM Data Terminal Carrier

This British Army carrier was built to hold and protect a handheld data terminal, the rugged field computer soldiers use to send and receive information. It folds shut around the device, buckles closed, and straps to the wearer or to other kit through webbing on the back. Today it suits collectors of British DPM equipment, reenactors building an accurate loadout, and anyone who wants a padded folding case for a tablet, notebook or maps.

Features

• DPM Camouflage — The outer shell is printed in Disruptive Pattern Material, the green, brown, tan and black woodland camouflage that British forces wore for decades.
• Cordura Shell — Cordura is a heavy woven nylon known for resisting abrasion and scuffing, so it is a common choice for military load carriage.
• Side-Release Buckle Closure — A plastic buckle on a webbing tab holds the front flap shut and opens with one squeeze.
• Padded Inner Panel — A quilted olive nylon panel lines one side of the interior to cushion the screen and face of the device.
• Coated Interior Compartment — The main compartment has a coated camouflage lining that helps shed moisture and dirt.
• Press-Stud Retaining Tabs — Two webbing tabs with metal snap fasteners inside hold the contents in place when the carrier is open.
• Hook-and-Loop Edge Strip — A strip of hook-and-loop fastener along the flap edge adds a second closure behind the buckle.
• Rear Webbing Loops — Three olive webbing loops on the back let you thread the carrier onto a strap or belt.
• Long Buckled Strap — A long olive webbing strap with a side-release buckle secures the carrier to the wearer or to other equipment.
• Bound Edges — Olive drab webbing tape is stitched around the edges to reinforce the seams and stop fraying.

Issued British Army Kit

This is genuine British Army issue in DPM Cordura with olive drab webbing and hardware, so it is not a commercial lookalike. The folding case design, padded panel and coated compartment were all chosen to protect electronics carried in the field. For collectors and reenactors, it fills a specific gap in a DPM-era British loadout that few other pieces cover.
