Inside, there is a single loop field on the rear face of the pouch. The bottom of the pouch has a pair of metal drainage eyelets, these could also be used to facilitate a shock cord tourniquet holder, as seen with the Spiritus Systems SACK ( reviewed here). Whilst these might seem a bit surplus to requirements, they do work well as an attachment point for your gloves.Ī double zipper runs around the top third of the main pouch, both sliders are complemented with a paracord pulltab, a match made in heaven for this type of pouch.
#TACTICAL FANNY PACK PATCH#
TacBelts UK GITD/Splatter laser cut ATRG patch on a DNC Fanny Pack… Am I Cool Yet?Īlong each of the bottom corners of the main section sits a pair of PALS type webbing loops.
I’ll admit it’s not something I’ll use, I’ve gone from being obsessed about loop fields on everything, to wanting the bare minimum if any at all. The front of the Fanny Pack is home to a loop field measuring 6.5” by 4”, ideal for marking up the contents of the bag or simply more patch real estate. Fitting a pistol in the main compartment can be a bit tricky, this V10 Ultra Compact barely fits… As does a standard Glock 19. From an IFAK to Haribo or even a sub-compact pistol, it’s surprising what will fit in there. The dimensions internally are 6.5” wide, 5” tall and 2” deep, which allows the user to carry a multitude of different items. The main compartment is hull shaped, mostly rectangular, but angled in in the lower half to aid with ergonomics and freedom of movement. The main compartment might bear a passing resemblance to certain other pouches at first glance, but it’s different enough to offer its own benefits. The Head On Tactical Fanny Pack is relatively simple in its construction, a main compartment that bears a resemblance to the Spiritus Systems SACK and a slim document pocket within the main section made from the backing plate material. It didn’t stop the US military from making an absolute ton of Parkas and trousers (as well as the unicorn rare boonies) in this pattern though, hence why it’s still available over 30 years from its inception.
In fact it really wasn’t of much use, even in the early 1990s when it was developed, the night vision it was supposed to conceal its wearer from having been out of date for nearly a decade and normal camouflage or snow overalls actually offering better concealment when viewed with US issued and captured Iraqi Night Vision equipment. The pattern is popular, although rarely seen in the real world due to its aforementioned obsolescence. It’s an Airsoft pic that’s often been mistaken for real due to some of the items being incredibly rare, but it’s a damn good picture! The guy on the left is wearing a DCU/DNC Adventuretech jacket, which has led many others to follow the same path. This obsolete pattern has enjoyed a renewed cult following within the airsoft community, partly due to the influences of jackets such as Adventuretech’s reversible Goretex offering that’s been seen “in the wild”, it’s gained popularity within the Airsoft hipster movement I mentioned briefly in an early ATRG article, Maverick: Carving Your Own Path.
The Head On Tactical Fanny Pack sitting on my USGI DNC Pants The first thing you’ll notice, is that the Head On Tactical Fanny Pack that I’m reviewing is made from Desert Night Camo (or DNC) pattern cordura. They also wear their fanny packs around the front, not where the arse is at all… It’s all very confusing.īut back to Fanny Packs, specifically the one made by Head On Tactical. Americans sure can seem a strange bunch to us Imperial Brits, and I’m sure it’s a mutual feeling across the pond…Īpparently “bumming a fag” doesn’t mean the same thing over there that it does here and whilst we both use the word “Fanny” for things you can stick your winky in, apparently the colonials use that particular word for a bum bum not a foo foo 🤷🏻♂️.
