So the Chemlight Holder is a very straightforward product. It is a collection of elastic cells that are sized for batteries and Chemlights and other similarly sized items. With some Velcro on the back, so you can slap this onto any sort of pouch or exterior of your equipment that has Velcro so that you can sort all that different equipment nicely. We have three different sizes. We have sort of this large one where there's some space between both. So you can run your Chemlights along and they're properly stabilized. A long version that is just single depth for the elastic. So you could space two of these out much wider or just have one of these for batteries. And then we have the small little guy right here.

Now there was something that was important to us when we were designing this. Instead of just doing Velcro immediately behind the elastic little loops, I wanted to make sure we had some Velcro that larger than the actual loop itself. And what this does is it helps prevent this item or this whatever you have on here from peeling off of your equipment if it catches on something. There's just a little bit more Velcro adherence or attachments to your pouch or to your kit so that if something does interfere with your batteries or with this, it doesn't just peel all the way off. So these are sized a little bit on the larger side with some extra perimeter of Velcro, but that is to help keep this on your equipment so you don't lose your batteries or your Chemlights.

So a couple example products that are compatible with these. This is the Wallaby Pouch. There's a generous amount of loop Velcro on the front. One way that I use the Chemlight holder on here is slapping it on the front. And then I can run Chemlights right here, pull them out from below. I can have IR Chemlights on this side, Vis on this side if we're doing like a bunch of night training and it works super well. If I wanna get even more wild though, there is loop field on the inside of the Wallaby. I have done this as well. And I just slapped this sucker on the inside and then the flap is either engaged on the front or kind of sitting on top.

I've done this for batteries, just as an extra place to put batteries. And it's also very accessible compared to some pouches out there. On a traditional dangler pouch like the Spiritus Sack that I have right here, a lot of these have Velcro on the inside. Again, usually it's large enough to fit one of these large panels and that can just go on the inside for your batteries, your Chemlights, whatever it happens to be and it's good to go.

Our vertical GP pouch, if you're running one of these on a chest rig or a plate carrier or on your belt, has Velcro on the outside, not on the inside because there's a pocket here and some other stuff. But this will fit our Chemlight holders as well. Not necessarily the long one, although you can kind of make it fit because the pouch is a little bit narrower, but I can take this large one with batteries, for example, drop this on the inside. And now I have all my batteries organized so I can access my kit, grab a double A, a one, two, three, whatever it happens to be, and I'm good to go.
