Request route This page is not a cart. A pouch becomes a possible build only after the workshop reviews the contents, dimensions, materials, and scope.

Reference build // Available as a custom-workshop starting point

The Double Tap is a flexible retention concept inside the made-to-order pouch program. Use the fit selector and Loadout Architect to define what it must carry, then submit the result to the workshop for feasibility review.

What this page is for

The Double Tap is a retention concept and fit simulator. MOLLE / PALS means modular webbing used to attach pouches to packs and carriers. This file shows one possible KTT form; the Custom Pouch Workshop is where the dimensions, contents, mounting, closure, and finish become a real request.

What is known now

Observed

The public file defines the intended object types, shock-cord retention path, PALS mounting, drainage, and carry geometry.

Limitation

The images are concept renders. No retail sample, field result, draw-time result, or production decision is published.

Next test

A physical sample would need fit, retention, access, movement, and durability checks before any performance statement.

Technical record Research status, construction targets, and use cases

The Double Tap explores a flexible retention idea: one pouch shape tuned for magazines, radios, small utility items, or range-day carry. It is now a reference build within the wider made-to-order pouch program, not a separate fixed product lane.

Visual build brief

Retention is the point.

The drawing shows the adjustable tension path. The simulator below now has a visual reference for why loose versus tuned retention changes bounce, rattle, snag risk, and access.

  • Shock cord changes the held object, not the whole pouch.
  • PALS webbing geometry keeps the concept tied to real loadout placement.
  • Drainage and field carry still matter for everyday objects.
  • Use Loadout Architect to decide where it belongs.

What are you carrying?

The Double Tap makes more sense when it is treated as a flexible retention node, not just a magazine pouch.
