Dutch Woodland DPM MOLLE Binocular Pouch | Issued

The Basics

• Attachment: Features MOLLE straps on the back, allowing it to be secured to modern tactical vests, plate carriers, or backpacks. This is a significant upgrade over the older metal ALICE clips.
• Material: Constructed from high-strength, polyurethane-coated Cordura nylon. It is water-resistant and designed for high-abrasion environments.
• Dimensions: Approximately 6.7" H x 4.5" W x 2.4" D (17 x 11.5 x 6 cm). It is slightly deeper and more rectangular than the older ALICE version.
• Closure: Uses a heavy-duty plastic quick-release buckle. Most versions also include an internal "snow skirt" or drawstring collar to seal the contents from dust, dirt, and moisture.

What to Expect

• Optics Protection: The pouch is often lightly padded or features a stiffened liner to protect sensitive equipment like the Dutch Army's "LION" binoculars or night vision optics.
• Versatility: Because of its shape and secure closure, it is a favorite among hikers and bushcrafters as a "General Purpose" (GP) pouch. It is the perfect size for:
  • Compact binoculars or rangefinders.
  • A standard 1-quart canteen (it fits snugly).
  • A small cook set or several MRE components.
  • A large individual first aid kit (IFAK).
• Condition: As an "Issued" surplus item, it will show typical signs of field use such as minor fading of the DPM pattern, light scuffs on the buckle, or a soldier's name written on the tag.

Quick Tip: The "Woodland DPM" pattern is very similar to the British pattern but generally features darker, richer tones, making it blend exceptionally well in dense, green forests.
