My eye was drawn to the genuine MTP webbing material on this belt kit, that's the only thing that made me look twice at it. I thought it could be a good investment to sell on or might be a comfier hip pad to use on my own webbing. I couldn't put my finger on a brand, I thought maybe Dixies Corner or JayJays, as I know the materials they use and the quality of their workmanship, so I took a punt, made the guy a cheeky offer and he took it.
When it arrived and I looked at it with my trained kit nerd eye, I decided that i might be keeping it for a little while yet!
In the hunt for a makers mark or label i discovered these and became quite excited...
Different pouches, different labels, different materials, same belt kit!
it appears that the yoke and hip pad have had labels removed, i cant find any marks on the other pouches though.
The label on the smoke pouch confirmed to me that the entire belt kit is one complete set. Every individual item has 'D(number)' written on it, linking them all, and then they are all made from the same off tinge green/tan webbing material.
In all there is:
yoke
hip pad
double mag pouch
dump pouch
2 x utilities
water bottle pouch
med pouch with insert
smoke pouch
belt with cobra buckle
Looking at it now with Virtus in mind i can see how all the pouches conform to this new 'fight light' method thats being instilled across the board, theres no heavy PVC lining to the pouches which means they can all be flattened or rolled way when not in use.
Interior of waterbottle pouch, two slots for puritabs and KFS.
I still cant quite pin down a particular manufacturer, the materials are somewhat inconsistent, for example different colour mesh on the yoke and interior of hip pad, and there's a mix of standard tan ITW nexus clips and olive drab YKK ladder locks.
Its definitely not CQC, but BCB perhaps? All I know about Company D is that they don't appear to have a slashing policy!
