Field tips
- Mount the bottle pouch on the side you drink with so you can reach it without stopping.
- Run a system: first aid in one utility pouch, snacks and a headlamp in the other.
- Weave each MOLLE strap through the webbing on both the pouch and the pack, then snap it; that's what keeps it from flopping.
