The gut hider pouch provides additional storage for your plate carrier or armor vest without occupying essential modular space. As indicated by its name, it is positioned at the navel area using a dual-sided hook and loop panel that fits into the armor pocket between the flap and the carrier. This panel is reversible to ensure compatibility with various manufacturers' designs. Depending on your specific carrier model (such as our SMC carrier versus the minimalist carrier), the top panel can be reversed to ensure the appropriate side of the hook and loop Velcro attaches securely to the plate pocket, with the lower accessory pouch correctly oriented so that the zippered opening faces outward. Consider it a tactical fanny pack that offers substantial storage just above the waistline. It is ideal for quick access to essentials like a bottle of Motrin and a pair of dry socks. Constructed from 500D cordura nylon, it attaches seamlessly to the hook and loop panel.
