Think there might have been some confusion with the description and pics for these - at the time of ordering and of writing this review, the pictures and description suggest this pouch is NSNd, has standard-spaced PALS (compatible with Varusteleka's twin column belt adapter) and plastic inserts. Both of the pouches that were sent to me were not NSNd (and were in fact completely unmarked), did not have the plastic inserts, and the molle webbing is the annoying wide-spaced variety which doesn't easily fit a standard PALS grid and definitely doesn't fit the twin column belt adapter, unless you bend the pouch almost to a right angle...after which you could...maybe use it to...erm...ankle-carry binoculars? In summary, if you want the side stiffeners, ignore what's in the pics and description for this item, and order the very similar IFAK pouch. Otherwise this pouch is as described. I.E beige, and pouchy. Fit for purpose once the listing is amended.

I got the same pouches as Alexander above: Two brand new, never used, coyote brown pouches without plastic stiffeners, and no NSN markings. In fact, there are no markings at all on the pouch itself. The buckles are upside down as compared to the photos. The buckles are marked "National Molding, Farmingdale NY" and appear to have been made in May 2005. The colour of the pouches is almost the same Coyote Brown as the USMC FILBE rucksack, but there is a tiny difference. When viewed through my crappy 1st Gen NVG, the pouches have nearly the same IR reflectiveness as the USMC ruck, but might be a smidge brighter. The black buckles really stand out when seen through the NVG, much more so than seen with your bare eyes. The pouches seem to be of very high quality, and I am pleased with my purchase, but you do NOT get the pouches that Varusteleka think they're selling you. I would give these pouches a four star rating if the description had matched the product. I really wanted the plastic stiffeners, so I'll have to wait untill Varusteleka has the right pouches in stock again.
