This pouch accommodates most standard water bottles up to 10.5 inches tall with a 4-inch diameter. A 32oz wide-mouth Nalgene (8.25" tall) fits perfectly, while a standard 32oz CamelBak Chute (9.5" tall) also works well. The 600D Polyester construction provides slight flex for snug fits. If you're using a larger insulated bottle or 40oz+ container, measure first—the 10.5" height limit is firm, but the elastic sides can accommodate bottles up to about 3.5" in diameter comfortably.

Absolutely. The Rothco SKU 2379 uses two MOLLE straps on the back, occupying just 2 columns of MOLLE webbing vertically. This narrow footprint lets you mount it on the side or rear panel of most plate carriers (like the Condor MOPC or 5.11 TacTec) without interfering with front magazine placement. The 4-inch depth keeps it compact, and the side D-rings allow you to secure it with paracord or carabiners for extra stability during high-movement operations.

The top flip-lid straw hole with hook-and-loop closure is designed for both. It works seamlessly with CamelBak, Source, or Condor hydration bladder tubes—just thread the tube through and secure the closure to prevent snagging. It's also compatible with bottles that have built-in straw lids (like certain Nalgene OTF models). The grommet drain hole at the bottom prevents condensation buildup, keeping your gear dry whether you're using a bladder or bottle.

The front zippered pouch is perfect for small essentials. It comfortably fits a Leatherman Wave, Gerber multitool, compact first aid kit (bandages, gauze, tape), fire-starting kit, or energy bars. The pouch itself has external MOLLE loops, so you can attach a small flashlight holder, chem-light pouch, or compass case. It's ideal for organizing items you need quick access to without opening your main pack—think admin pouch for your hydration carrier.

The MultiCam variant (SKU 2879) is priced at $49.99 compared to $30.99 for solid colors like Coyote Brown (SKU 2779), Olive Drab (SKU 2379), Black (SKU 2679), or Red (SKU 2678). All versions use the same 600D Polyester construction, MOLLE attachment system, and feature set—the price difference reflects the licensed MultiCam pattern. If you're matching existing MultiCam gear or need the camouflage advantage, it's worth the premium; otherwise, Coyote or OD offer identical durability and function at a lower cost.
