I've been using this pouch for about two years now and I can really recommend it. It folds well, has a mesh at the bottom, and can be made smaller. It holds very securely on the belt and is characterized by durability.
A dump pouch made of durable Cordura 560 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’ve been using it for several years and I'm very satisfied. I would only suggest adding one more velcro on the flap, so it could be better secured in the open position.
-
Very good product at an attractive price. I’ve been using it for several years and I'm very satisfied. The only thing I'd change is to add an extra velcro on the flap so it can be secured after opening.
-
I can wholeheartedly recommend this pouch. It has the right size, a mesh at the bottom, and when folded it takes up little space. The only thing I think it's missing is a Velcro under the flap to secure it better when the pouch is unfolded.
-
I have the pouch in MAPA camouflage and I'm very pleased with it. You can tighten it inside with a drawstring, so nothing falls out at the bottom. Additionally, the mesh means I don’t have to shake out sand.
-
Very high-quality dump pouch. This is another well-made product from Maskpol – a Polish manufacturer. Strong materials were used, and the mesh at the bottom is also durable. Great quality for the price. I recommend it!
-
Another successful product from Maskpol that deserves attention. The pouch is quite stiff, so you can easily feel it when dropping in a magazine. The mesh at the bottom is solid, so the quality is definitely a plus.
-
The dump pouch is very durable and solidly made. It works well both at the shooting range and during field exercises. Made from strong materials, with a very sturdy mesh at the bottom.
-
The pouch meets all expectations for such equipment... It can be tightly rolled up, and there's a mesh at the bottom through which sand can easily fall out. Overall, it looks very good!
-
Everything matches the description. The camouflage is cool. Once folded, it takes up little space and is practical, and the additional two compartments inside are a very good idea. When unfolded, the pouch turns out to be very roomy. It works great with other MAPA system equipment on the tactical belt.
-
A dump pouch of excellent quality, with mesh at the bottom that allows sand and dirt to fall out. Tested at the shooting range and does its job. The ability to roll up the pouch is a very practical feature. Fast order processing and delivery.
-
It's fine. A typical dump pouch, although the drawstring could be positioned higher. It can be easily folded into a compact size while still maintaining a large capacity. Mounted on a laser-cut MOLLE system.
-
The pouch is spacious (it can fit 4, maybe even 5 AK magazines), but it is hard to pull the Velcro with one hand during the game, which makes it difficult to quickly dump a magazine. Additionally, the drawstring often catches on trees and bushes. A better option would be a drawstring like the one Wisport uses in the Waterpocket pocket. If a version with this solution appears, I will gladly buy it.
