Direct Action Hydro Utility Pouch MK II - MultiCam

A MultiCam camouflage tactical pouch, designed for convenient carrying of a USGI canteen or a Nalgene-type bottle with a capacity of approximately 1 litre. Its construction is an evolution of traditional water pouches, often found in military and survival equipment. The pouch can serve as a universal transport pouch for other cylindrical items, such as food rations, small thermoses, radios, or survival accessories.

The pouch is made of durable 500D Cordura, widely used in professional tactical equipment. This material is characterised by high resistance to abrasions, mechanical damage, and harsh weather conditions, while maintaining a low weight. One of the key improvements of the MK II version compared to the previous model is the ability to completely remove the flap along with the buckle. This allows for a reduction in the set's weight and provides quick access to the carried equipment.

The top edge of the pouch is equipped with an adjustable shockcord drawstring, which adapts to the size of the carried equipment and prevents it from falling out. This system allows quick retrieval of the contents with one hand while simultaneously stabilising it during walking or running. Additionally, the pouch flap has a velcro closure for added security.

The pouch is part of a modular accoutrement system compatible with MOLLE/PALS. The rear panel allows for mounting on tactical vests, chest rigs, shooting belts, or backpacks. This makes it easy to integrate into any equipment configuration.

A characteristic feature of the MK II model is also the MOLLE side panels, which allow for the attachment of additional accessories.

MultiCam is a state-of-the-art camouflage pattern developed in 2002 by US company Crye Precision in cooperation with the United States Army Soldier Systems Center (Natick Labs) as part of the Objective Force Warrior program. Its goal was to create a versatile camouflage pattern that is effective in varied terrain and changing environmental conditions. The MultiCam pattern consists of seven colors, creating gradient transitions between shades of green, brown and beige. As a result, it dynamically adapts to the background, adopting shades of green in forested areas or browns and beiges in desert regions - in Central and Eastern European environments, it works particularly well in autumn and among dry vegetation. MultiCam has gained worldwide recognition and is used by numerous armed forces and special units. In 2010, the camouflage was officially adopted by the US Army as the camouflage pattern for soldiers stationed in Afghanistan, replacing the earlier Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP). The pattern is also available to civilian users, making it a popular choice among military or airsoft enthusiasts.
