Product description

If you're looking for something else than the usual MOLLE-style pouch, here's a Danish water canteen / utility carrier of relatively recent produce with the British PLCE attachment system that works better with belts.

Don't let the modern looks fool you: the camo pattern is M84 and the pouch is from the '90s. That was a time before the MOLLE system was introduced and many countries had various systems in use, most commonly copies of the US ALICE or the British PLCE systems. This pouch has a standard PLCE attachment that works with many utility and duty belts, and the back has extra loops for other strapping ideas you might come up with.

The pouch is made of stupid-strong 1000D Cordura with a rubber-like coating inside, most likely PU. The lid features a small pocket for water purification tablets and the closure has a Spanish Tab system that is secure, fast, and silent. As an additional measure of security, the lid can be closed with hook-and-loop patches on the inside. A silencer tab can be folded in between to disable this feature.

On the inside, you'll find a divider for a folding stove but it's large enough to serve many other purposes. In case you don't use the full capacity of the pouch, there are webbing loops on the outside that you can use to lash the pouch into a smaller size with Paracord or elastic shock cord.

Width15 cm6"

Danish surplus

These are unissued and so fresh it's hard to believe they are a couple of decades old. The coating isn't flaking and the metal pieces aren't corroded. The only signs of old age are the manufacturing dates and the obsolete PLCE attachment system.

Extremely heavy duty, and very roomy. It fits an oversized 39oz steel canteen with plenty of space for a regular solid fuel folding stove, and even has some extra space beyond that if you want to fit some snacks, cutlery, or whatever other stuff you feel like. To mount onto MOLLE, the ALICE-to-MOLLE adapter is perfect, it's a very snug fit, and feels very secure.

This is the Danish M/96 Canteen Pouch Lines is as follows: 1. Feldtflaskehylster ((Field canteen cover)) M(odel) 96 2. CQC (is the type of rubber coating used.) 1999 (year of production) 3. HMAK (Hærens Materielkommando, translated to Army Materiel Command) Back in 2016 the Army Materiel Command got rid of 6600 units/20 europallets for 75.000.- dkk (10.076.- Euro) and of 2022 you will still get the pouches in the Danish Home Guard, so there is loads to be sold at a later point. The Army Materiel Command in now defunked, restructured and renamed FMI (Forsvarsministeriets Materiel- og Indkøbsstyrelse/Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization) The general pouch is called Udstyrstaske m/96 and follows the same naming scheme It is a bit smaller and comes with a snowcover drawcord top.

I got these from elsewhere. I don’t know if Varusteleka differentiates between the canteen pouches or the general purpose pouches. The one in the pic is the canteen pouch. The general purpose pouch is the same general size but has a snow flap with a drawstring closure under the lid. The canteen pouch will fit a regular size canteen, with a matching cup and a hex stove. This is a high quality item, for cheap! You’ll need a PLCE type belt and a yoke.
