Sometimes one must shake their head in simultaneous wonder and amusement. This is one of those times. Developed, designed, and manufactured in Australia, The Platatac ASAD Modular Dump Pouch is an interesting take on the common dump pouch, designed to interface with carriers and be mounted in an unusual place – as a groin protector (with optional soft armor).

The Modular Dump Pouch is just that, modular. The inside of the pouch is lined with PALS webbing to mount sub-loads.  Like most modern offerings, it features a roll-up capability and quick deployment and has stiffening material inside the pouch to keep the mouth open. The pouch is lined at the bottom with mesh for drainage and can be cinched shut.

Interestingly, the pouch is hook and loop (Velcro) attachment to an armor system, which they interfaces with Platatac’s various offerings.
