Vertical Cargo Pouch - Medium (3x5)

Most general-purpose pouches share the same flaws—excess bulk, overly complex compartments that are difficult to use in real operations, and sharp outer corners that create hot spots and cause skin irritation. The Karo Tactical pouch is designed to eliminate these issues: rounded exterior corners and a tapered top ensure comfortable placement under the arm when mounted on a plate carrier or on a belt without interfering with a rucksack.

Zippers are protected under Cordura® fabric flaps, shielding them from sunlight, abrasion, and rain.

The pouch features a single main compartment with 550 Paracord loops for gear retention. One interior wall is lined with Velcro® Loop for modular inserts, so users can adapt the layout to their mission needs. Medium and Large variants also include a 1x5 PALS matrix on the bottom, made from laminate, for attaching additional accessories or securing a jump cord via dedicated cutouts.
