The capability to grab a singular item without having to dig through your fully loaded pack is a massively beneficial factor when on the go. To take advantage of this factor the “molle” system was created in 1997 with the main purpose of being able to more customize your carry using various sized pouches.

One of the biggest down sides to the molle system is when a pouch is attached, to remove the pouch you have to remove the interweaved straps and clips making the process timely. Taking time into consideration companies started creating pouches using hook and loop material for the back panel.

The major advantage of using hook and loop for pouch attachment is the ease of removal and transfer to different packs and vests as needed. One company creating pouches using hook and loop material is S.O. Tech located in Carson, California. S.O. Tech carries their line of Go Pouches in two main sizes, a (4”x4”x1”) and a (5”x5”x2”). For this quick look I will be reviewing the Go Pouch 2 which was supplied by S.O Tech.

The Go Pouch 2 is made up of a Pack Cloth material, using a heavy duty top zipper, a clear front window to identify items in the pouch, a hook material back panel for ease of removal and attachment onto most loop material surfaces, and a top loop for ease of tear away. With the amount of interior cargo space available the content possibilities are numerous. To test the Go Pouch 2 I loaded it up with some typical First Aid items like Band-Aids, first aid ointment, alcohol wipes, then added an emergency survival blanket, and some water purification tablets.

I secured the pouch onto my EDCO Panel from Prometheus Design Werx, loaded up the rest of my pack, and off my boys and I went on a 3-mile hike through the El Dorado National Forrest. Approximately mid-trip one of my boys had caught his arm on a branch causing a small cut. I was able to remove the Go Pouch 2 from my pack and administer first aid to my son’s cut within seconds.

I was quite impressed with the short time it took to remove the pouch using
the top loop and ease of access to use the items as needed. The clear front window panel
ensured the I.D. of what items I had in the pouch. And reattachment was a simple as placing the pouch back onto my EDCO Panel. Overall I am quite impressed with the Go Pouch 2 from S.O. Tech and would recommend adding one to your pack, range bag, or vest.

California native born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. I grew up in a typical suburban style neighborhood but spent what ever time we had free up in Calaveras County exploring the outdoors, fishing, and photographing nature. When it was time to be responsible and earn my own money for gear I started my career in the Automotive field, which I spent close to 20 years in before leaving to start my own photography business. During this time I gained my interest and respect for quality gear. The journey for my "Perfect Pack" has spanned just over two decades starting out with big store brands and now concentrating on more independent sized companies that pay closer attention to specific details and functions. During this journey I've been lucky enough to have found someone who enjoys the outdoors and quality gear as much as I, though not the collector as myself, and together we created a couple of mini adventures. It's been a true joy being a father and teaching the same skills my father and grandparents taught me. One of my favorite things in life is loading up our packs and enjoy the outdoors together as a family.
