I've been using this pouch for about two years and I can really recommend it. It folds up well, has a mesh at the bottom, and can be made smaller. It stays very firmly on the belt and is characterised by its durability.
A dump pouch made of durable 560 Cordura fabric, resistant to abrasion and mechanical damage. Inside, there are two elastic compartments that facilitate the segregation of transported items and increase the practicality of the interior. The bottom is made of breathable mesh, which improves the drainage of water and small dirt particles.
When folded, the pouch can be closed with Velcro on the outside or rolled up to reduce its volume. The mounting strap system allows for convenient attachment to a tactical belt and is compatible with the MOLLE/PALS platform.
The MAPA camouflage was designed by Maciej Dojlitko, a graduate and current researcher at the Faculty of Architecture and Design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk, author of, among others, the publication Teoria dekonstrukcji komunikatu wizualnego. Narzędzia projektowania kamuflażu militarnego (Gdańsk 2015). The innovative design, supported by convincing theoretical and experimental arguments, including computer analysis of thousands of photographs of the terrain, attracted the attention of specialists and military clothing manufacturers. In 2017, MAPA camouflage made its debut at the International Defense Industry Exhibition in Kielce as a camouflage pattern for the Dromader accoutrement and uniform system by Maskpol, part of the Polish Armaments Group. The system was designed for soldiers of the Territorial Defense Forces, but MAPA camouflage itself was also considered as a promising pattern for the entire Polish Armed Forces, where it could replace the wz.93 camouflage. Unfortunately, MAPA camouflage has not yet been implemented as the official camouflage pattern of the Polish Army.
Main features of the MAPA camouflage in the basic forest variant:
- 6 colors forming layers resembling contour lines on a map,
- colors optimized for operations in Central European forests,
- use of the illusion of three-dimensionality and the anamorphosis effect,
- biomorphic shapes resembling vegetation,
- high-contrast elements imitating light reflections and shadows,
- deformation of the camouflaged silhouette using a macro pattern,
- color noise recreated using a micro pattern.
The MAPA pattern is an interesting alternative to the best contemporary camouflage patterns such as PenCott, MultiCam, Kryptek, Flecktarn, and the Finnish M/05. In some respects, it is more advanced than these patterns and better reflects the colors found in Central European forests from late spring to early fall.

Great product at a good price. I have been using it for a few years and I am very satisfied. I would only suggest adding another piece of hook and loop fastener to the flap, so it can be better secured in the open position.
-
A very good product at an attractive price. I have been using it for a few years and I am very satisfied. The only thing I would change is that I would add an extra hook and loop fastener to the flap, so it could be secured after opening.
-
I can wholeheartedly recommend this pouch. It is the right size, has a mesh at the bottom, and takes up little space when folded. The only thing I think is missing is a Velcro under the flap to better secure it once the pouch is unfolded.
-
I have a pouch in MAPA camouflage and I am very satisfied with it. Inside it can be tightened with a drawstring, so nothing falls out the bottom. Additionally, the mesh means I don't have to empty out the sand.
-
A very high-quality dump pouch. This is another well-made product from Maskpol – a Polish manufacturer. Strong materials have been used, the mesh on the bottom is durable too. Great quality for the price. I recommend it!
-
Another successful product from Maskpol, which deserves attention. The pouch is quite stiff, so it is easy to find it when dropping a magazine in. The mesh at the bottom is solid, so the quality is definitely a plus.
-
The dump pouch is very durable and sturdily made. It works well both at the shooting range and during field exercises. Made from strong materials, with a very solid mesh at the bottom.
-
The pouch meets all expectations for this kind of equipment. You can roll it up tightly, and there is a mesh at the bottom that allows sand to fall out freely. The whole thing looks very good!
-
Everything matches the description. The camouflage is nice. When folded, it takes up little space and is practical, and the two additional inner pouches are a very good idea. When unfolded, the pouch turns out to be very spacious. It works perfectly with other MAPA system gear on a tactical belt.
-
A dump pouch of excellent quality, with a mesh at the bottom which allows sand and dirt to fall out. Tested at the shooting range and fulfils its function. The option to roll up the pouch is a very practical solution. Fast order processing and delivery.
-
It's fine. A typical dump pouch, although the drawstring could be placed higher. It can be easily folded into compact dimensions while maintaining considerable capacity. Mounted on a laser-cut MOLLE system.
-
The pouch is spacious (it can fit 4, maybe even 5 AK magazines), but it's difficult to pull off the Velcro with one hand during the game, which makes it hard to quickly discard a magazine. Additionally, the drawstring often catches on trees and bushes. A better drawstring would be one like Wisport uses in their Waterpocket pouch. If a version with this solution comes out, I will gladly buy it.
