British Desert DPM MOLLE Helmet Bag Pouch

British Desert DPM Pouch

This is a British Army helmet bag pouch in Desert DPM, the three-tone sand and brown camouflage British forces wore in arid theatres. It packs a helmet bag into a small, closed pouch that rides on your vest, belt or pack until you need it. It is a practical piece of field kit and a correct-period item for anyone assembling a British desert loadout.

Features

• Desert DPM Camouflage — DPM stands for Disruptive Pattern Material, and this desert version prints sand, tan and brown shapes to match dry, open ground.
• Cordura Fabric — The pouch is made from Cordura, a heavy woven nylon chosen for its resistance to abrasion and scuffing.
• MOLLE Attachment Straps — Two webbing straps on the back weave through MOLLE loops, the rows of nylon webbing on vests and packs that let you place pouches wherever you want them.
• Pull-The-Dot Fasteners — Each strap closes with a pull-the-dot press stud, which only releases when lifted from the marked edge, so the pouch stays put when you brush against something.
• Quick-Release Buckle Flap — A black side-release buckle on an adjustable webbing strap keeps the lid shut and opens with one squeeze.
• Hook-And-Loop Closure — Hook-and-loop panels inside the flap and on the pouch body give a second hold under the buckle.
• Bound Edges — Tan tape binding runs around the flap and seams to stop the fabric edges from fraying.
• Issue Label — A printed British military label sits between the MOLLE straps on the back and carries a 2007 date.

Issue Specification

This pouch was made for the British Army, and the printed label on the back dates it to 2007, the period when Desert DPM was in service on operations. The coyote-tan webbing, pull-the-dot fasteners and buckle-and-hook-and-loop flap are part of the original build. Collectors and reenactors get genuine issue kit with its own label, and field users get a compact MOLLE pouch built to an army specification.
