Dynamic Principles – Cantable Magazine Pouches

Monday, September 16th, 2024

Dynamic Principles is proud to announce the release of our Cantable Magazine Pouches.

The Cantable Mag Pouch was designed to combine the ergonomics and customization of competition style magazine pouches with the duty grade retention and signature of what we consider to be the absolute gold standard: Esstac KYWI inserts sourced directly from Esstac. These pouches allow you to precisely dial in the ride height, cant angle and spacing of each magazine pouch to tailor your belt setup to be most mechanically efficient for you.

These pouches must be combined with either our Direct Attach Hardware Kit (to directly attach to standard ELS and blade tech hole pattern belts and mounts like the Baer Wojtek Belt) or the “ADAPT” series of mounting kits from Guardian Warrior Solutions (to be mounted to 1.75″ or 2″ belts or 3″ Molle). These provide a mounting solution that is much more durable than one wrap while maintaining zero vertical or horizontal slop between the belt and pouch.

These will be available initially in double stack 9mm and 5.56 versions.
