Officially named the Single-Hand, Drop-Down PRC-152 Pouch this new radio pocket from relative newcomer High Ground offers some innovation not found anywhere else. We say relative newcomer as they have been flying below the radar for about a year now and really concentrating on the JTAC community. We mentioned them last year in our piece on their Instant-Access Frag Grenade Pouch which is cool as hell but we haven’t heard much since then, until recently.
High Ground’s version is unlike any other handheld radio pouch we have seen. The point of the design is to stay “head up, eyes on the enemy”. It does this in several ways. For example, it can be opened and closed with only one hand. Additionally, you have unfettered access to the radio screen, buttons, and battery. Finally, the battery can be changed without removing the radio completely from the pouch.

As a designer this is by far one of the most well-thought out pouches I’ve seen for radios. Very cool, very interested what else these guys can do.
“innovation not found anywhere else…”
except for 3 or 4 different companies. I saw one from Mystery Ranch that they had made for ASOF about a year ago. This one is similar -a pretty nice design, but not entirely unique. I think these things just fly below the radar for a lot of companies.
So you’re saying these guys ripped off Mystery Ranch?
