Dunamis Gear – Cargo Hanger Pouches

DSC05036

Dunamis Gear is a fairly new player in the outdoor and tactical gear industry, with their initial product offering being a line of Cargo Hanger general use pouches. The entire line is constructed of 500D Cordura nylon, and features military grade materials and ITW Nexus hardware. The pouches come in two different styles, Front Zip and Top Zip. The pouches utilize G-hooks to attach to PALS webbing and other compatible systems, which allows for quick attach and detach. Durability isn’t an issue, as the hooks are bar-tacked to the seams, and also connected to the compression straps. This removes stress from the seams when the straps are drawn tight, placing all the stress directly on the strap system.

Front Zip Cargo Hangers

Front Zip Cargo Hanger pouches are the larger of the two pouch styles. Their size allows these pouches to function well as auxiliary storage outside the main compartment of a pack. Due to the G-hook attachment, if access to any covered front pockets is required, one can simply and quickly unhook a single side and swing the pouch out of the way. This pouch also functions well off the pack, thanks to a flat underside design which rests on the ground, allowing quick access to contents. Pull tabs at the end of the zipper track make operation of the dual sliders easier. In addition to functioning as a modular general purpose pouch, the Front Zip Cargo Hangers are also designed to be used as an E&E or mini-duffel, and even as a day carry shoulder bag, when used with the optional shoulder strap.

They can also be outfitted with custom grab handles which fold away into stash pockets.

Front Zip Cargo Hangers come standard in three sizes:

Small – 12″ x 5″ x 4″
Medium – 13″ x 7″ x 5″
Large- 15″ x 8″ x 6″

Top Zip Cargo Hangers

The Top Zip Cargo Hangers are the smaller of the two style options. The heavy duty #10 YYK zipper coil keeps the general shape of the opening even with an empty pouch. According to the manufacturer, medical personnel have expressed interest in this feature, as it allows for hassle free access to contents and replacing items. The Top Zip features ladder lock buckles which reduce the overall weight, and loop locks which route the strap and provide strap management. Like the Front Zip, the zipper features tabs at the end to make operating the dual sliders easier.

Top Zip Cargo Hangers come standard in four sizes:

Small – 8″ x 5″ x 4″
Medium – 8″ x 8″ x 5″
Large – 12″ x 8″ x 5″
Wide – 8″ x 12″ x 5″

    Is it just me, or do those front loaders look an awful lot like the HPG Tarahumara design?

    • Mike says:

      There are only so many ways a zipper can be attached. Or maybe they worked with HPG. Who knows.

    is it just me or is that the current US Army OCP ( Scorpion W2 ) used in the background?

    Is it just me, or do those G Hooks look something like Kifaru K Connectors?

    Just ordered two custom pockets from Dunamis last week. Very impressive work and quick turnaround for a small custom maker. Apparently the design for the front zip came from the maker’s attempt to improve on the Kifaru Dock and Lock concept.

    The design does resemble the HPG Tara, but the overall shape is more cylindrical than the Tara. They remind me of an improved version of the Kifaru Pod.

    The G-Hooks are just simple G-Hooks sewn into the pouch. Nothing like the K Connector.

    • Dunamis Gear says:

      The top zip pouches actually do have a configuration with the ladder lock buckles which at first glance may even appear as a “K-connector” but which in addition to a G-hook being attached to a ladderloc buckle there is also another webbing strap connected to the G-hook which is sewn directly into the seam. This makes it an integral part of the pouch rather than a free-floating piece like the “K-connector.”

      This same system can be set up quite a few different ways with existing hardware on the market, I’ve used side QR buckles, the dual adjust on the center zip Cargo Hangers, a plain looploc, even NM “tee-mount” buckles to mount the pouch horizontally so that the compression straps extend vertically.

    Hey guys,

    Thanks for the questions. In designing this, I wasn’t too much familiar with the HPG system at the time. It does bear some similarities and also to the Dock and Lock system. But, I assure you it is entirely unique and does have an improved function, capacity, and is lighter in weight than any comparable accessory item available for retail sale, by anyone!

    The benefit of the system is that because the connections are sewn directly into the seam when the compression is loosened or if the buckles are detached it will still hang there from the webbing channels or tab loops rather than falling out of position. It stays mounted while the straps are loose allowing you to dig through the pouch as an “on-board” pocket. Cinch it up and its inseparable from the host bag.

    The various buckle systems that work with this connection system are pretty much the same as all manufacturers use, 1″ ITW or NM buckles. THANKS!

    • Dunamis Gear says:

      Sorta botched that first paragraph. To clarify, the capacity to weight ratio (especially that of the large center zip shown in the MARPAT, which is 900 ci and weighs only 10.5 oz.) is the best available on the market for rugged 5ood Cordura GP pouches. With the added benefit of the built in function and utility of its design, this truly is an incredible item! Check out my youtube videos for more info! Thanks!!!

    Oh, and, dude – I’m looking forward of whatever pics I can get from you! If you send me anything of you airborne with them, its definitely going on the website (but, probably whatever you do get pics of will end up there!)
