Overview of the 5.11 Tactical Flex Medium GP Pouch | 56427
*This is the Newer PFAS-Free version*
What it is
The 5.11 Tactical Flex Medium GP Pouch, model 56427, is a minimalistic, low profile, and lightweight general purpose pouch. It organizes everyday tools and kits while staying slim on your gear.
Built to mount anywhere
The Flex-HT mounting system uses a 1/2 inch webbing ladder and 3/4 inch TPU-coated straps for solid weaving on MOLLE and PALS platforms. A webbing pull tab lets you release the straps quickly when you need to reconfigure.
Organized access
A front stretch-woven zip pocket handles small items you grab often. The main compartment adds mesh and fabric slip pockets to sort gloves, batteries, tape, or a compact medical setup. Cord pulls have heat-shrink ends and a paracord loop puller keeper for easy opening with or without gloves.
Tough materials, field ready
Double-layer, water-resistant 500D nylon resists abrasion and light moisture. A drain hole on the bottom panel sheds water. Two Flex Hook Adaptors convert the pouch for hook and loop interiors, so you can move from a plate carrier to a pack or vehicle panel in seconds.
Size that works
Capacity is 1.6 liters, about 100 cubic inches. Exterior size is 5.0 inches high by 6.625 inches wide by 3.0 inches deep. Photos show the pouch in black, ranger green, and kangaroo tan with clean stitching and low-bulk shaping.
