Pouch Configuration Options
The 1st Line EOD Tool Kit is available with two pouch configurations, allowing agencies to select a price point or upgrade to a professional-grade U.S.-manufactured pouch.
Standard MOLLE Pouch (Imported)
The standard configuration includes an imported MOLLE pouch that provides basic organization and mounting capability for the tool kit — a more economical entry point for agencies seeking a lightweight first-line tool system.
EOD Gear Berry Compliant Rip-Away Pouch
Manufactured in the United States and designed specifically for operational use. Most military EOD units and bomb squads select the Berry Compliant pouch configuration for operational deployment.
- Berry Compliant construction
- MOLLE attachment panel for mounting to tactical gear
- Rip-away design for rapid access during operations
- Internal Velcro spine for modular tool organization
The rip-away panel allows technicians to quickly detach the pouch from a vest, pack, or vehicle panel while maintaining organized access to the kit contents. For military units and agencies requiring Berry Compliant equipment, the EOD Gear pouch option ensures compliance while providing a more durable and mission-ready storage solution.
