Blue Force Gear Flapped Ten-Speed M4 One Mag Pouch

The Ten-Speed pouch, with an added flap. An M4 magazine, held more securely than in an open-top pouch.

The flap

An adjustable elastic flap covers the top of the compartment and secures onto a hook-and-loop strip on the front of the pouch. This is what sets it apart from an open Ten-Speed: the magazine can no longer fall out on its own.

And if you don't want it, the flap can be removed - from one compartment, several, or all of them. You are then left with a classic open Ten-Speed pouch.

The elastic

Military-grade elastic, in service for over ten years. When empty, the pouch remains flat, about the thickness of a coin according to the manufacturer: nothing to snag on.

Where it comes from

The Ten-Speed was designed for confined spaces - buses, trains, watercraft - where a protruding pouch becomes a problem. Hence the philosophy: a pouch you forget you're wearing.

This version holds one magazine. Magazine not included.
