Modification to expand a US Army Molle 2 Canteen & Utility Pouch

One of our customers wanted to expand his US Army Molle 2 Canteen & Utility pouch into his single survival kit. He has been experimenting with several pouches and packs but found them either too big or too small. So, he approached Garrison Packs to try to solve his problem. He loves the existing pouch as it is because it is tough and practical. It would be the perfect survival go back for him if it had just a bit more space. So, we did just that for him.

The US Army molle 2 pouch is a rather standard issue. There are many American surplus sellers selling them. Even in KL, we can find them being sold by some military enthusiasts stores. To modify this pouch, we spent time listening and getting an idea of what the customer wants. It is obvious that too big is rather useless for a survival kit and being to small would defeat the purpose as well.

There is no way around this modification but to tear it apart, do the necessary modification and then put it all back together. Garrison Packs keeps 100% original Cordura materials and this ACU pattern material is something we stock as well. Hence, we would have no problem matching the colors.

 

What the customer wanted was pretty straight forward. Rather than the two small (almost useless for keeping anything bigger than the US Army issued can opener) pockets, we were commissioned to add storage space to the two pockets. By opening up the original unit, we are able to add the bigger pockets top the sides more accurately.

With the two side pockets installed, the customer is now able to add in other items that is essential to his survival kit. This is comparatively much bigger than what it was before.

At Garrison Packs, we pride ourselves for having original 1000D cordura material, sewn with milspec thread to your specification and needs. This modification to expand a US Army Molle 2 canteen & utility pouch is done using such materials right here in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
