Coyote Pouches for Plate Carriers and Belts

Coyote pouches are chosen by people who already have gear in a solid sandy-brown color. They want to add pockets to it without any bright patches. A solid color is easier to match than the camouflage patterns of different manufacturers. On top of that, dust and dirt are less noticeable on it.

Which types are available in coyote

The most common are utility organizers, i.e. universal pockets for small items. For example, the MIL-TEC Hextac has a main compartment with a double-sided zipper, a front pocket with a flap and a D-ring for a carabiner. The Helikon-Tex EDC Insert Large is designed as an organizer for everyday items: a flashlight, a knife, gloves, painkillers.

There are specialized options for combat loads:

a grenade pouch with a Fastex buckle for quick removal;
a triple open pouch for AK / AR magazines;
the 8Fields foldable dump pouch for dropping magazines, which takes up almost no space when folded.

The MIL-TEC Molle Belt Office admin pouch deserves a separate mention. It has an organizer, a clear document compartment and a hook-and-loop panel for a patch.

What to pay attention to when choosing

First of all, check the attachment method. The typical option is MOLLE straps, which let you attach the pouch to a vest, belt or backpack. Some models, such as the MIL-TEC Hextac and Commando, additionally have a D-ring. If you plan to move the pouch around often, it is more convenient to have several ways of securing it.

Second is the closure. A zipper holds small items more securely but opens more slowly. A Fastex buckle and hook-and-loop give quick access, but hook-and-loop is noisy. For items you reach for blindly and in a hurry, choose a Fastex buckle or an open type. A zipper is better suited for documents and small accessories.

Why the shade of coyote can vary

Coyote has no single standard: from different manufacturers it can be lighter, more yellow or closer to brown. The shade also depends on the fabric, because Cordura and PVC-coated polyester look different even when dyed the same. If you are putting together a set from the products of several brands, be prepared for a slight difference in tone.

Over time the fabric fades in the sun. That is why a new pouch next to worn gear will at first be noticeably brighter. When uniformity matters, buy several pouches from the same manufacturer at once. Look for other colors and types in the tactical pouches catalog.

Frequently asked questions

Are the contents included?

No, assume that you are buying only the pouch itself. Magazines, a grenade or other items will have to be selected separately, so check their dimensions against the pouch description in advance.

How much does a coyote pouch cost?

Prices range from 330 to 1 030 UAH. The cost depends on the type and design: the number of compartments, the material and the hardware.
