Confused on pouches


TINMAN

Recommended Posts

I'm a little confused on the whole pouch issue, I've seen different ways that scouts have attached their pouches to the uniform... I've seen them attached directly to the cummerbund, I've also noticed that some are attached to the inside of the chest armor plate using velcro.... which is the correct and approved method?

Yep. Sewn to the bund is the original build method. As it stands now - for basic clearance - it doesn't matter how they are attached. I've had mine attached to the bund with snaps, with Velcro, had them attached to the inside of the chest with Velcro, but as I'm upgrading for Lancer they'll be sewn directly to the bund.

 

You can see it pretty well in this shot:

That's the pic I was looking for! I gotta add that to my photobucket.

 

Here's another one to add to your bucket:

I used Velcro on mine, glad I did as it allows you to adjust the height and position of the pouches if needed, depending on were your cummerbund sits.

As was said, attached to the bund is correct for accuracy. But you can get cleared with them attached to the armor with velcro as well, as the final look remains the same.

 

I've had them attached both ways and personally liked them attached to the armor better. If your bund shifts or sags a little bit your pouches are still butted against the chest armor which looks as is should.
