As a onebagger and firearms enthusiast, it's interesting to see the crossover between defense-orientated gear and outdoor travel. This is shown through the nonprofessional use of garments from Arc'teryx LEAF or Patagonia Pro, brands that appeal to the needs of both consumers (i.e., GoRuck, Osprey, Salomon, Darn Tough, Outdoor Research, Steamlight, et al.) and how nearly every established outdoor clothing and gear company uses their existing R&D to contract with the Department of Defense. A wider social implication is that American citizens casually travel with the same state-of-the-art, American-made technologies (i.e., GORE-TEX, Codura, MOLLE, Polartec, Nano Puff, Coreloft, etc.) that U.S. military and law enforcement professionals also use. It's great to see the Magpul Daka pouch-advertised by Magpul to store ammunition and tourniquets-recognized by Pack Hacker for its relevant utility in one bagging. It's also an interesting display of the free market at work: different communities with relevant needs find great utility in the same brands.
The carabiner attachment point is not just to link Dakas together. With two rings/S-biners and a strap you can turn any Daka pouch into an ultra-minimalist waterproof sling.
Solid shout M0ebius!

Cool video! These are definitely on my wishlist.
Thanks Bo!
Would love to see your take on these :)
Great review. Was dancing to the tunes at the end!!
Awesome!
Very helpful tips and products. You are great on cam.
Thanks George! Glad you're liking the videos.
Getting myself a ticket to Baka Laka DAKA street. Great review! Would love one of these.
Thanks Ajaj!
i agree with the carabiner hole placement, i fit my pistol and spare mag and its very difficult to put it in there but it fits perfectly. Definitely sort of an issue but other than that they are freakin awesome!
Thanks for sharing Kyle - glad you're digging it and that you've been able to make this product work well for you! 😊👍

What size would you recommend for holding a bunch of cash ? Medium ?
My guess as to why the carbiner holes are not on the bottom of the pouch: because if they were maybe when you open the pouch while it's hanging, everything will fall out?
Freddie - we figured this out! It's to attach multiple DAKA pouches together. Take a look at this shot from Iron and Air cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1997/4275/files/daka_ironandair_14-_1-of-1.jpg?v=1529694387

nice review Tom , they look useful
👍👍
Thanks Raj! It's a team effort :)
I think the zipper does not go from end to end is to have a tighter seal between the ends of zipper and the start of the polymer material
Good call Jack! We’ve also learned a bit more on the design vision of having the space to attach multiple DAKAs together with carabiner clips on each side. Pretty nice system.
- Tom
Music?
Late to the show but aquaguard zippers aren’t meant to work from the inside like that. The exterior is the waterproof side while the interior is mostly unsealed. Still, they work as intended so useless data point unless you want to transport sauce.
One question, does anybody know what the actual material is? They only say it’s polymer fabric but nothing can be found online, maybe it’s under another name. I would like to purchase some of this fabric or similar for some projects, but cant really find it.
We're not exactly sure - but it's definitely some great stuff! Let us know if you find out.
What other alternatives are there? These look good, but I am curious what other options there might be.
Hey readyme! There are some great alternatives here: packhacker.com/travel-gear/category/organizers/
Thank you...I didn't know where to look.
Totally- let us know what ends up working for you best!
Vitamins!!!
👍🙌😊

You should review the heimplanet arc and ellipse.
Good suggestions User 01! We're also impressed that you captured the first UA-cam username ever created ;)
Pack Hacker you guys should collaborate with Bo Ismono since out of "backpack/travel reviewing channels" his seems to be the biggest out of the, probably, only 3 on the internet. You've earned yourself a subscription from the progenitor of usernames sir.
User 01 - awesome! Glad you’re here. We love Bo’s detailed reviews! Hopping on the first flight to Hamburg to visit him for a collaboration ... 😌
Pack Hacker a lot of youtubers just film their b roll and video and send it to the person via email or Dropbox or something and they edit via conference call, FaceTime, screen sharing etc. But to each their own. Subscribed to both of you guys so I'll definitely be excited for that video. It's the Christmas/traveling season, channels like these usually gain a ton of subscribers around this time.
User 01 - yeah that’d be a good way to do it, too. But then we wouldn’t get any currywurst 😉
I would need to see this under water in a bath tube at the bottom for an hour to be truly confident, you should try this please. because maybe after a long time it might go thru, we don't know for sure. 30 sec, is wayyyy not long enough for me.
So, If you're using it for a water bottle, it may leak? Good intel. lol
Exactly! Also, disclaimer: it does not function as a parachute 😂
Worth noting that Magpul is primarily a manufacturer of firearms accessories (magazines, stocks, grips, etc.), in case that might influence someone's purchasing decision one way or another.
These things are STUPID overpriced. Probably costs magpul less than a buck to make these. It should be a small medium AND large pouch, for 20 bucks. Not 20+ bucks a freaking pouch.
A bank bag will work exactly the same and those can be bought in packs of 10 for less than 15 bucks.
Magpul is boycotting my home state of Colorado, so I think I'll boycott Magpul.
Interesting - thanks for bringing this to our attention Ken.
They came from Colorado and left when they banned 30 round magazines and they make the best magazines in America .. They are pro American and believe in our 2nd amendment . So why wouldn’t they leave ? Colorado used to to be a great state , now it’s like my home state of California, a rouge state with rouge laws..
Sounds like a typical uneducated comment by someone anti-2A
