Radio pouch: how to choose

A radio pouch holds the radio on a plate carrier, chest rig or belt so that it does not dangle or restrict movement, while the antenna and headset cable stay free. Prices range from 300 to 630 UAH. Models differ primarily in the way they secure the radio and in color.

Open-top or with a fastex flap?

The open-top version gives the fastest access: you draw the radio with one hand, and a side elastic keeps it from falling out. This is convenient when you often take the radio off or switch channels. The downside is that the body and controls are less protected from dirt and impacts.

A pouch with a fastex flap holds the radio more securely when running or crawling, and the buckle opens quietly, without the rip of hook-and-loop. However, getting to the radio takes a little longer.

What else to consider

Before buying, compare the dimensions of your radio with the size of the pocket: a fit that is too loose will shake around, while one that is too tight will rub the body. Check that the MOLLE system on the pouch matches the webbing on your gear, and think ahead about which side the headset cable will exit from. Choose the color — pixel or Multicam — to match the rest of your kit. Look for other types in the tactical pouches category.
