Genuine Issue Surplus
KEY FEATURES
This is a genuine Original Dutch Army DPM Molle Zipped Chest Pouch in Grade 1 condition.
Tactical Chest Design
Originally issued to the Koninklijke Landmacht (Royal Netherlands Army), this horizontal pouch was designed under the official name Opbouwtas, Borst Algemeen. Sourced in functional Grade 1 condition, it mounted to the chest of modular combat vests. This horizontal profile ensured soldiers could access essential gear quickly while crawling or in tight vehicle cabins without restricting movement.
Heavy-Duty Weatherproof Build
Manufactured by defence contractor ARWY, the pouch is made from 380g/m² polyamide with a protective polyurethane coating. This tight nylon weave offers exceptional water resistance and abrasion defense in wet forests. A heavy-duty zipper is shielded by a fold-over storm flap, while a secure hook-and-loop tab prevents the zip pull from rattling or catching on foliage.
Modular Modern Utility
Measuring 9 x 15 x 6 cm with a 0.8-litre capacity, this compact pocket is ideal for modern bushcraft, hiking, or tactical loadouts. Two rear MOLLE webbing straps with metal snaps let you attach it horizontally to backpack hip belts, plate carriers, or utility rigs. It keeps your compass, GPS, fire starters, or small tools flat and accessible on the trail.
Equip your pack or tactical rig with this genuine Dutch military utility pouch.
This item was used by the Dutch Army during the Modern (2000–Present) and is in Grade 1 condition. It is in very good condition with plenty of life left. We recommend giving it a wash before wearing.

- Functionality: 100% field-ready. All main zippers, press studs, drawstrings, and buckles work as intended with no critical faults.
- Fabric & Wear: Structurally sound with light cosmetic wear, minor abrasion, or subtle fading from normal military use and laundering.
- Markings & Personalisation: May feature soldier names, unit numbers, service markings, or light depot stamps written on tags or fabric.
- Repairs: May include neat, professional military-standard stitches or minor reinforcement patches that do not compromise gear integrity.
- Storage & Cleanliness: Gear is serviceable straight out of the box, though a standard initial wash or airing is recommended to clear typical military surplus storage scent and minor handling dust.
This four-color temperate brushstroke pattern is a derivative of British DPM, featuring black, chocolate brown, and olive green disruptive shapes on a yellowish-tan background, often noted for its slightly muted appearance. Adopted in 1993 as part of the M-93 uniform for the Royal Netherlands Army, it was optimized for concealment within the dense forests and fields of northwest European terrain.
