Bungee tops for closed top velcro pouches
 

I have a weesatch with closed top flaps which are removable and want to switch them out for the bungees.

Anyone know where to find these velcro bungee tops? What are they called?

You should check out the mod I made with my rig Coach, all with a length of shock cord and the existing velcro closures. The mags are just held in by the tension with no covers, really easy to extract.

But If you want the actual ones, that works too :P Not sure where to get em.

Yeah. I like how the radio pouch bungee works. I could just ask my cousin to make them but she might not be able to sew through the webbing to make the tabs.

Would like to know how much the real ones go for.

Btw, did you just stuff all the excess Velcro inside?

No what I actually did was put the current velcro covers, deep inside the back of the pouches, the top of them basically just sits under the top of a mag when its inserted. Then I ran a complete length of shock cord through the front molle's, then through the loops on those covers, and back to the front molle. The back covers keep the tension on the mags from the back, and when you pull a mag, it ends up springing forward and holds the remaining mag just enough so that its not super loose and chance of falling out.

Yeah. That's what I meant by stuffing it inside. Maybe I'll give it a try and see how it goes but ultimately would probably not want to use the front molle to secure it when I start loading it up. Just depends how I arrange more pouches down the road.

Anyone know where to get these bungee tops?

Then yes, that is what I did :) Ill show ya later if you want.

I have a few in OD, I'm not using them. PM me

I'm gonna need 5 in coyote. :)

I'm 99% sure I get how you did it, but I'd like to see a picture if possible.

Thanks,
Grant

Yes D, throw some pictures up.

I used my weesatch without any retention for a long time, and I've had more mags fall out of my gun than my rig.

I like what you did with the cord, good idea

Used with or without the Velcro flaps? The flaps don't work for me. Would rather not have to reset them every time I want to switch gun platforms for gun failures or just to use a different rifle.

I forgot to mention that I used the radio eyelet strap, with the retention clip, for the other side of my shock cord. Makes the setup completely adjustable, wether I need more or less tension on all of the mags, switch mag sizes, ect.

I plan to modify it so that the retention clip is attached to the rig via that velcro strap, so if I need to quickly add more retention on the fly, I can just reach down and pull, and that would do it. Easy to release as well, exactly like the dump pouch open and close system.

So I have found that I can easily get black 3/16" (5mm) shock cord for $1/meter, where can I find it in tan or CB?
