They were designed specifically for attaching unit patches. They were not meant to attach accessories per se. I am not aware of any type of accessories that can be used, just patches and insignias.

As far as I know u can put on any type of velcro patches. Amazon offers many different patches for sale.

Nothing heavy for sure. No pouches etc. I am not in the military, but I believe the velcro patches on the upper arm sleeves were meant for insigia, rank, ( the military identification ) corps, battalion etc. The ACU I have has ( small ) pockets under the velcro patch. I hope this helps and that you are as happy as I am with your purchase. Cheers, Boris.

Normally, your division insignia, and a flag. If you want a military look, choose subdued patches. On the front storm flap over the zipper, there is a Velcro tab for the rank.You may also opt for any variety of embroidered, or rubberized novelty patches.

First I'd like to say that it's completely irresponsible for the retailer not to provide the technical information on the goods. Unbelievable, in fact. What's the matter with these people?I bought one recently and there are identical pouches on either side of the bar. Each pouch is 5½" long, 4" high and 1½" wide inside. Each pouch has a sort of flat mesh pocket on the outside that is 5" x 3½". I use mine to carry the rechargeable battery for my Cateye light. I've only ridden with it a couple of times. My knees bump it if I stand up to climb a hill.

Hi James, Well I stopped using it a while back. It's now in my drawer of old holsters and such. On the photo you see 2 stripes. Those stripes are a cross between velcro and sticky rubber and that is what holds it between the mattress and box springs. Drawing, yep, that's why it's in the drawer. I don't think it was necessarily the fault of the holster. My mattress would move relative to the box springs resulting in the grip being forced against the mattress making it difficult to draw. The quality of the holster is fine. It's the function that fails me.Dale

No problem. They have a velcro strap which sizes them down once over those things. I really like mine. You need to memorize where everything is however. They are well made, and higher quality that I expected for the price. I have zero complaints. In Alaska we just used the sleeves of old winter coats. These things look a bit more professional on a 12K sled.....or whatever I paid for that thing.

Some holsters don't have clips that go over the belt and use Velcro to secure the holster. I have never used it but I assume its for a situation when the clips over your belt may be a dead giveaway that you are carrying concealed... hope this helps...

Hard to find decent ones...I use a generic brand horizontal generic pouch. Or most the time I just carry in hands and pockets.

I've seen youtube video reviews, and a woman using them for running turned the shorts around so she carried in front; her weapon seemed more secure while running. When she carried it in back, she felt more movement, although the weapon was never in danger of becoming dislodged. It was more of where it felt the most snug. Either way, it has been used for running. I am buying a pair for that purpose for my S&W; Shield.

Hi Jose- That's great question. The dog that I bought this for loved to slid on his back onto the snow (he did it with and without the backpack). The velcro never let go. ALSO, you can't see it but there is a clip from the base of the pack that clips to the other part-so even if the velcro fails you won't lose your goods. My dogs are extremely active and crazy. It's been good so far. I hope this is helpful.

When I owned one this spring (check out my review in the product section) I went to the dollar store and grabbed 2 of those Velcro style stretchy bandage wraps (not sure what they're actually called) for a $1. They resemble the wraps that you get after you donate blood, that you're supposed to keep on for a couple of hours after you donate. They're stretchy, extremely comfortable and easy to use since it basically sticks onto itself. Plus they're washable/reusable. So I'd rotate between them and the armband. I'd use one while I wash and let the armband air dry overnight. They're only a buck a piece so I got 2 in case I forgot to wash the armband I'd have a spare to use. Just put the module where you normally wear it. Cover with the wrap and you're all set. Another bonus, people don't bug you with the same question over and over "What the hell is that on your arm?" . They just assume you sprained your arm/shoulder. :) It's a cheap alternative. I couldn't get myself to pay the ridiculous price the armband was going for on the GWF website. Hope that info helps someone. Cheers.

As the velcro does not cover across entire belt up to protective flap (grayed material at the end), it needs some work to make it adaptable to small arms. This is require you spend some moment to put in your arm comfortable position and doesn't unfold. (observation made from my own experience who has small arm).

I looked on the seller's website as well as conducting a general internet search and didn't find any poncho liners made specifically to complement this poncho. Because of its unique shape, I doubt any generic poncho liners would work either. I wish you the best!

The fabric stretches so you can get 4 AA batteries in there. I just did it to be sure. However it will distort the shape of the holder if that matters to you. They are a tight fit.

Sort of. The velcro part needs another command adhesive strip to be reused (like just the "poster" strips they sell) but you certainly can get more command adhesive to add to the back of the velcro strip. When you buy this product, it already is attached to a basic command adhesive strip. When you take it off, the adhesive is ruined (this is normal) but the velcro strip part is still usable.

Zach, I too have Pmags but use 20 rounds size instead of 30. I did not plan on using the pockets since there is so much space in the other pouches for accessories. If you'd like I could try it and e-mail it back if you give me your e-mail. I can send you a message on Tues. 9-3 from Jeff at jcecka@aol.com.

Hi Donald, I've been sorta waiting for someone else to answer this one but since no one has... here is my take on it. I'd wrap it around a long nail or spike much the same way you would put it on a spool. My nail or wrap area would be no longer than ~5 3/4". I'd then tuck the cord into itself on one end and stuff it in my pouch, nail and all. Never hurts to have another tool around. ; - ) I have seen some videos on how to wrap cord in a way that holds it together well but also allows for quick and easy unraveling in an urgent situation. You may want to YouTube that as I'm not allowed to put outside links in this note. I hope someone gives you a better answer... but that's what I'd do since we don't have a better one yet. All the Best, Bill... TOUGH-GRID UPDATE: You're welcome Don! When you search YouTube, use the term "paracord deployment lanyard" I think you'll like the videos you find there. Bill... TOUGH-GRID

No ,if I were you got to an Army and Navy store see what they have then buy it on line or in the shop .I had a similar opinion to yourself as you looked the business on Amazon, not worth a damn when its in your hands plus its a stud flap at the front pocket and a snap hook for the over all cover flap its a pain in the ass trust me buy something else
