MATBOCK Monday || Shield IFAK Pouch

Monday, September 19th, 2016

This is MATBOCK’s Shield IFAK Pouch. Designed for the Phokus Research Shield kit or any similarly sized IFAK, it features a single tab pull system that will extract the kit halfway from the pouch for easy access for the operator without fear of having the kit fall out of the pouch. Made from MATBOCK’s Ghost Lite material, it is extremely lightweight and features a drain hole at the bottom to ensure zero weight gain when exposed to wet environments.

The pictures are of pre-production prototyoes and show 1 inch webbing used for MOLLE and belt attachments, but these have been switched to 3/4″ webbing so that the pouch will fit on just 2 rows of MOLLE.


Available in MultiCam (shipping in 2 weeks) while Tan and Black colors are expected in the near future.

Sunday, September 18th, 2016

Our friends at Blind Owl Media reminded us about this video from our first range session with a Hodge Defense Systems Inc AU Mod-1. We were joined by TIG, which was founded by a close friend as he transitioned from the military to life in the defense contract business. It was a fun day.
