5.11 Radio Pouch Compatible Bags/Packs/Duffels, Style 58718

Great quality pouch but it will not fit a baofeng radio UV5R type style radio. It is too big. Others say it fits due to the straps being able to hold it. This is true if you do nothing but walk on flat ground. The radio floats in it. It will not hold it snug for running or climbing or rigorous maneuvers. It is heavy duty though and would fit a larger radio.

I own two of these, and i love them. I have two other radio holsters, Maxpedition, an off brand look a like to this 5.1 and the condor ( which is only works for small family radios. What i love about the 5.11 holder is that it's easy to get the radio in and out of the holster ( if you have the straps loose). The other radios the strap comes over the top of the radio and ALWAYS gets hookup on the control knobs.Also, unless you have a large radio; my Kenwood TH-d72 and 22at, Yaesu's vx-7 and vx-8, don't rub in the inside of the holster hard -- which doesn't wear out the rubber key pad on the front of the radios.The 5.11 holster also double has "other" use, when it doesn't have a radio in it. the pockets are deep enough ( and there are not large openings for things to fall out) . A water bottle will fit no problem. Keys, wallet, etc, no problem.Lastily, the tie tacs used for a molle are genius. they are fabric and will bend. And, they are stiff enough to be sturdy. And, unless you see them in action; my words don't do them justice; but, they slide up and down from the top of the holster .. making putting the holster on a molle system super easy.And, they are well made. If you beat the tar out of them, I think they'll laugh at you.Maxpedition Falcon ii; Yaesu Vx-8DR in the pictures.

I have looked at a variety of pouches for my FT-60, and this one is by far the best! It will accept the radio with the belt clip and the remote mic attached. Without the clip and mic it is a loose fit. I added a 1/2" piece of foam in the bottom to raise the radio slightly making the knobs more accessible. I removed the bungee cords from the outer loops and ran them directly to the velcro attachment tab. The bungees now run on both sides of the volume knob, but doesn't restrict it's movement. I have found the 5.11 Slickstick molle attachment tabs perform very well. Some have commented that the case material may scratch the radio display. I will investigate this more and may add a soft material insert. The attached pictures show the 5.11 Radio case connected to a Maxpedition Mongo Versipack. I ran the speaker / mic cable up the Mongo's strap and it lays nicely for tilt-head communications. Very Impressed!

The pouch is 5-5.25" deep, 3.25" wide. The molle is very tough and stuff. Well made and low key, all black and pro-looking.It's too deep for my Baofeng UV-5R as is. I stuff the bottom of it so the radio is accessible.Hope that helps someone.

I'm a big fan of 5.11 and have used their products for years. This holder though really missed. It is easy to install and is sturdy and secured once on. However, using it as a radio pouch is the problem. Within 6 hours of using this, I was already ordering a different radio holder.The front velcro pouch is just for show (I guess) and does not assist to open the top to get the radio in as the bands are attached to the top of the pouch. The only way I can get my radio in is to wedge it between the bands and into the holder. Once in, it's secure, but it is not easily accessible if you take your radio in/out on a regular basis. Might not be as bad, but with a mic attached, it is a pain to do. I only remove my radio and start and end of shift to add/remove the battery. Still not worth it. Used with a Motorola 6000 with attached shoulder mic.

5.11 has made a perfect radio pouch with this design. It will snugly fit radios of varying heights, from small HAM radios like a Baofeng Uv-5R to a standard military MBITR hand radio. The elestic pull-string is snug and feels robust, not likely to break. The pouch material is military-equivalent to standard issue MOLLE gear. MOLLE attachment tabs and buttons are stiff and firm, leaving no looseness or play when attached to a kit or carrier. I have my extended-battery UV-5R in it, and the top dial just pokes out of the top - perfect height.

I'm gonna rate it well for how it is made and how secure it felt. It was too small for the radio issued to me, but that's not the pouch's fault. It is made very well and I trust the durability and the functionality. It held the radio fine but it obviously was too small for it and would cause issues down the line. For reference I carry a Motorola HT750 with a belt clip and shoulder mic attached. Without the belt clip I'm sure it would be fine. Again, no fault to the case itself. I do like the drawstring holder feature.

Great Price. Great Molle Solution.This cop can hardly stand that old 80s brick ass Motorola hand held hanging on the duty belt.We have to wear Molle Condor plate carriers anyway, so I am putting my radio on the vest now.Very comfortable.Frees up room and weight off that gun belt.

While I haven't used it as I bought a radio belt clip as well, I know from previous purchases that this works. The belt buttons are tough and have a very strong click to them. They're quite hard to remove too, so it won't just open up and drop your radio.

Great product, very effective and fast delivery. Many thanks!

Great product

Does what it is supposed to but in reality I find it a bit of a faff so just put the radio in my top pocket instead.

I'm not too happy with this radio pouch since it doesn't have an easily accessible pouch. By that I mean, the paracord or cordage is in the way of putting the radio in and you have to kind of move the cordage around to stuff the radio in, then put it above the radio to secure it. It's definitely not optimal for my use as a paramedic. I'll probably be looking for a different holder with a snap buckle of sorts.
