ONE TIGRIS MOLLE DUMP POUCH
Whilst many people use social media to pointlessly vent
their spleen at the world I do believe that we live in a time
when the dissemination of information via the internet
is faster than ever before, and that those individuals who
use it creatively can really reach a global audience of
potential consumers.
So it was that I discovered ONE TIGRIS; about six months
ago I saw a post placed on Facebook from the then little
known company here asking for product testers amongst
the UK tactical and bushcraft communities so immediately
I responded and started digging into the background of
who they were and where they had come from.
ONE TIGRIS was founded back in May of 2014 and
very shortly after in August of the same year they found
premises in a culture/industry park in Shenzhen, China.
During the latter part of 2014 marketing to the USA
commenced. With their first original product launch, a
cracking little EDC pouch, in November 2014 things really
began moving for them, and early in 2015 they began
similar campaigns in Canada, Japan, and Germany. Swiftly
building up a loyal customer base around the world, and
along the way gaining a heap of testimonials from happy
users, 2016 saw them turn their attention fully to the UK.
I was lucky to be chosen as one of their very first testers
in the UK, and after this had been formalised and I’d spoken
more to the ever enthusiastic Han from ONE TIGRIS the first
product duly arrived in the post.
What I received was a small yet vital piece of equipment
that every tactical shooter needs, a dump pouch; these
are the perfect solution for retaining spent magazines and
absolutely essential when trying for fast reloads. Other
than this they are also spot-on for carrying shotgun rounds,
as an “evidence bag”, or for carrying NVGs.
The pouch itself is very, very well made using extremely
durable 500D Nylon which has been treated with a water
resistant coating; the stitching both inside and out is first
rate, with no loose yearn ends evident. The main pouch
itself features two MOLLE strips on the rear so that it can
be easily fitted to a plate carrier, vest or chest rig, as well
as being worn on different widths of tactical belts or a
battlebelt.
In addition to the main compartment which is controlled
by an elasticated bungee and a stiffener, there is a “Buddy
Pocket” on the front with Velcro closure and ring where
you could store keys, valuables, a radio or mobile phone,
or even an extra magazine at a push! On one side there
is a mesh pouch, while MOLLE webbing on the other side
is there for attaching additional pouches or accessories
should you wish to.
The overall dimensions of the pouch are 8”/20.32cm x
6”/15.24cm x 3”/7.62cm (H/W/D) which means you can
get five STANAG mags in at a push, although this reduces to
four when you’re talking about P-MAGS and the like. It’s a
sound, well-designed, and well-manufactured product
In the words of ONE TIGRIS themselves “Perfection is
hard to achieve but we strive our best to attain it. That’s
why One Tigris is a great companion for your next
adventure.
During One Tigris’ short history we have been lucky
that many people have felt our intention. Usually we get
together, read the messages, reviews, and blog posts from
great buyers from all over the world and rejoice in what
One Tigris items bring to them.”
The online approach has certainly been a novel one,
but an effective one; having now spoken more with ONE
TIGRIS I find their passion for both the outdoors and for
great kit is unassailable. I for one look forward to seeing
more gear from them coming available soon
in the UK!
