Vertical Cargo Pouch - Large (3x7)

Common issues with general-purpose pouches include excess bulk, impractical internal dividers, and sharp corners that create “hot spots” and lead to skin abrasion. The Karo Tactical pouch avoids these with a streamlined design—rounded outer edges and a tapered top make it comfortable to wear under the arm when attached to a plate carrier or on a belt without interfering with a backpack. Zippers are concealed under Cordura® flaps for added protection from sunlight, friction, and moisture.

The pouch features a single main compartment with 550 Paracord loops for gear retention. One interior wall is lined with Velcro® Loop to support modular inserts based on mission-specific needs. Medium and Large models include a 1x5 PALS grid at the base, laser-cut from laminate, for attaching additional holders or securing items with jumpcord through dedicated cut-outs.
