Deadly Customs Dangler Pouch
The Deadly Customs Dangler Pouch is a compact, purpose-built pouch engineered to hang off placards and plate carriers while giving you genuine internal organization, secure retention and quick access in high-stress environments. Designed to mount to any placard-style panel that uses hook-and-loop attachment (our MFCR® / MFP-compatible by design), the Dangler bridges the gap between a low-profile dump pouch and a multi-use admin/utility pocket — sized and finished for duty use on chest rigs, plate carriers and chest-mounted placards.
This is not a fashion pouch. It’s a mission tool: tough, intentionally small, brutally simple to use under load and built from genuine licensed MultiCam fabrics and equivalent high-wear materials. If you run a chest rig and need a reliable place for gloves, small medical items, magazines, grenades, batteries or a quick stash for fast reloads, the Dangler is the modular solution that never gets in the way.
Key Benefits — Why operators choose the Dangler
• Placard-first fitment: Built from the ground up to attach to hook-and-loop placards (including the MFCR® and most commercially available placards), the Dangler integrates cleanly without added hardware or complicated mounting steps.
• Compact, usable volume: Thoughtfully sized internal volume that fits common mission extras — not oversized and floppy, but roomy enough for gloves, a small CPR mask, chem lights, compact med supplies, multi-tools and more.
• Purpose-driven organization: Main compartment with full hook field for our Omni trays / sleds, two laser-cut attachment points internally, and external lash points for quick lash or tether attachments.
• Glove-capable access: YKK zips throughout with long, low-profile glove-friendly pull tabs so you can operate the pouch reliably with gloves on.
• Professional textiles: Official licensed MultiCam blend and like-brand fabrics for authentic color match and proven durability on the exterior, paired with heavy reinforcement at stress points.
• Simple, silent, secure: Double-sided hook-and-loop attachment gives positive retention to the placard while remaining fast to remove or stow.
Materials & Construction
Exterior: Official licensed MultiCam and comparable high-wear tactical fabrics. Fabric selection emphasizes abrasion resistance, colorfastness and compatibility with common carrier finishes so the pouch doesn’t visually clash when paired with other equipment.
Zippers: YKK heavy-duty coil zippers on the main top opening (dual pull) and the front external pocket. Zips are fitted with long paracord-style glove-friendly pull tabs that provide tactile and purchase when working with gloves or under stress.
Hook & Loop: The rear attachment uses a double-sided hook-and-loop panel sized to match placard panels. Inside the main compartment there is a FULL-BACK lined panel of loop (Velcro) that accepts Omni trays, sleds and hook-backed accessories — this is intentionally a full panel to allow multiple orientation and tray placement options.
Laser-Cut Points: Internal and external laser-cut attachment points for securing small items, routing tethers, or mounting micro accessories. These are cut and heat-sealed to prevent fray and built into structural layers so they retain shape and functionality under load.
Reinforcement: Seams at load-bearing junctions are reinforced with bartacks and an X-stitched reinforcer where applicable. The pouch uses bonded seam construction and heavy denier thread to resist separation when loaded with hard items.
Pulls & Tabs: Paracord-style pulls are heat-fused and capped; designed long enough for gloved operation while remaining low-profile when stowed.
Design Details / Features
-
Main Compartment — Dual YKK Zip Access
• Two YKK zippers give a wide throat for rapid access and straightforward stowing.
• Glove-friendly paracord pull tabs on both zippers for reliable manipulation while wearing gloves.
• Internally the main compartment is fully backed with loop (hook-and-loop) to accept Omni trays, sleds or hook-backed inserts — this allows you to secure organizational trays inside and remove them quickly.
• Two laser-cut attachment points inside the main compartment provide anchor points for tethers, small carabiners, or to stitch-in an elastic retention strip if you want modular retention for specific kit.
-
Front Pocket — Single YKK Zip
• A shallow front pocket with a single YKK zipper and identical glove-friendly pull tab. Ideal for small, quick items — tourniquet straps, chem lights, sharpies, small notebooks or multi-tools you want to extract without opening the main compartment.
• Front face has a color-matched Velcro field suitable for ID, morale patches, or low-profile IR/identifier panels (color matched where possible to the pouch pattern).
-
Rear & Side Attachment Points
• Back side includes two laser-cut ears for adding quick-attach carabiners, glove tethers, light mounts, or small capstraps. These ears are reinforced and cut for strength.
• Pouch attaches to placard with a double-sided hook-and-loop panel for rapid, positive retention — no buckles or plastic hardware necessary. The design accepts a range of placard thicknesses when used with standard hook-and-loop placard panels.
-
Low-Profile Footprint
• The Dangler was designed to hang without overly protruding from the carrier. It retains usable internal volume while keeping the load close to the chest so weapon manipulation and body movement remain unobstructed.
Compatibility
• Directly compatible with: Deadly Customs MFCR® placard, MFP placard and other placards that use a hook-and-loop attachment method.
• Compatible with plate carriers and chest rigs that accept placards of comparable size and hook field.
• Interior loop field designed to accept Omni trays and sleds; compatible with other hook-backed organizational inserts of similar dimensions.
Internal Dimensions (verified)
• Left to Right (width): 20 cm
• Top to Bottom (height): 14 cm
• Front to Back (depth): 8 cm
These internal dimensions represent usable internal volume for tray selection and load planning. External dimensions are slightly larger to account for fabric, seams and zipper thickness.
Suggested Loadouts & Use Cases
• DUMPl or holding pocket: A fast place to stuff used magazines, empty mags, or soft items during dynamic movements. With the Omni tray installed you can maintain internal organization while using the exterior face for ID.
• MED / Utility: Small med kit — combat gauze, hemostatic dressing, compressed gauze, chest seals, and a compact tourniquet strap; the front pocket is perfect for scissors/forceps and a marker.
• COMM / Batteries: Batteries for weapon lights, spare comm adapter, ear pro, and cable management. Laser-cut ears allow you to anchor small items to the interior.
• TOOLS / CARBINE ACCESSORIES: Small multi-tool, cable ties, spare springs, small cleaning kit components and suppressor tools; the pouch stays compact while keeping these items immediately accessible.
• EOD / BREACH: Extra chem lights, clamps, or small breaching aids — great as an auxiliary pocket for mission-specific attachments.
User Experience Notes
• The double YKK main zip gives a generous opening that prevents the pouch from collapsing into itself when accessing items. Operators reported reliable operation with gloves on thanks to the long pulls.
• The full-back loop panel inside allows operators to use hook-backed trays or slide-in sleds; this is a major advantage over pouches that only give Velcro in corners or as small patches.
• Laser-cut ears add modularity without bulk; they can hold retention straps, small carabiners or be routed to secure items against rattling.
• The pouch is intentionally close-to-body in profile so it won’t snag when behind cover or during submission movement.
Care & Maintenance
• Surface clean with a soft brush to remove dirt and abrasion residues. For deeper cleaning spot-clean with mild detergent and freshwater; avoid bleaching agents or fabric softeners.
• If fully soaked, air dry in shade; do not heat-dry.
• Keep zipper tracks clean from grit; if necessary, clear debris and lubricate with a dry zipper lubricant compatible with tactical fabrics.
• Store empty pouches out of prolonged sunlight and away from solvents, fuels or oils that could deteriorate adhesives or fabric coatings.
• Inspect hook-and-loop mating surfaces periodically for clogging from lint; use a soft brush to clear debris and preserve adhesion.
Durability & Warranty
• Built from commercially proven, licensed MultiCam fabrics and reinforced at stress points. Expect long service life under normal operational use; normal wear predictable on external high-friction areas.
• Zippers are YKK components rated for repeated cycles; pulls are designed to handle gloved manipulation.
• Deadly Customs stands behind the workmanship — inspect the pouch upon receipt and contact our support channel for any manufacturing defects. (Warranty details as per Deadly Customs standard policy; registration may be required.)
Ordering Notes / Finish Options
• Standard: Licensed MultiCam pattern where available. We also produce similar blends to match common carrier finishes — when ordering, specify pattern preference and we’ll match color where manufacturing batch and supply allow.
• Velcro Field: Color-matched to the pouch where possible to maintain a low signature, perfect If you need an IR or reflective identifier.
• Customization: Laser-cut ear placement and internal tray orientation options available for bulk and OEM orders — reach out to sales for MOQ and lead times.
Fitment Tips & Installation
-
Prepare your placard or carrier: Ensure the hook field on the placard is clean and free from loose fibers or debris.
-
Align: Match the double-sided loop panel on the Dangler with the placard’s hook field — ensure even placement to prevent skew.
-
Press firmly: Engage the hook-and-loop by pressing across the field. The full panel engages quickly for positive retention.
-
Test: Give a deliberate tug to confirm the Dangler is seated. Because the attachment is hook-and-loop, avoid orienting heavy, blunt objects into the bottom seam that might lever the pouch away during dynamic movement.
-
Access: Use the glove-friendly pulls to open the main compartment; familiarize yourself with the flute of the front pocket for fast extraction.
Limitations & Considerations
• The Dangler is small by design. It is not intended to store full-size trauma kits or bulky equipment. If you require larger capacity, consider our larger placard pouches or a dedicated admin/mag pouch.
• Because attachment is hook-and-loop, prolonged exposure to heavy sharp items that could puncture the rear panel should be avoided. The laser-cut ears are not a substitution for full-strength webbing when carrying sustained heavyweight gear.
• Color matching is done where possible — due to fabric batch differences, camouflage match may not be pixel-perfect with older carriers. For guaranteed match, order pouch and carrier together or request a swatch check.
Why the Dangler vs. Other Placard Pouches
• Full internal loop field (Omni tray compatible) — many competitors skimp on the internal hook field, limiting tray options.
• Glove-optimized zipper pulls — optimized for real-world use with gloves, not just aesthetics.
• Laser-cut ears inside and out provide modular attachment without bulky webbing or added weight.
• True placard-first design — fits MFCR® and common placard systems without the need for straps, hardware or modification.
Package Contents
