Overview
Built for carrying canteen-sized essentials, this surplus pouch also serves as a compact general-purpose organizer for field use. It can hold a 1-qt. canteen, up to five M16 magazines, a stripped MRE, NV goggles, or other similarly sized gear, with side pockets suited to small items like first aid supplies or purification tablets. MOLLE compatibility lets it attach to a belt, pack, or tactical vest, and the top flap stows inside when used with a canteen. As used surplus, it may show a DRMO ink stamp, so condition and markings should be considered before purchase.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Used surplus condition may include signs of prior issue, so cosmetic wear or markings can vary from pouch to pouch.
- Sized around a 1-qt. canteen, so it is a good fit for canteen-sized gear but not a universal pouch for larger items.
- The top flap stows inside the pouch when carrying a canteen, which is convenient but means the closure setup changes depending on how you use it.
- May have a DRMO ink stamp, so buyers who want a clean, unmarked appearance should factor that in.
