Dutch Military MOLLE DPM Tri-Spade Shovel Pouch – Grade A
Reinforced Tool Carrier | Genuine Dutch Issue | Woodland DPM
Heavy-Duty Protection for Your Essential Field Tool
The Dutch Military Tri-Spade Pouch is specifically engineered to carry the standard 3-way folding shovel (tri-fold spade). Given that shovels are often dirty, sharp, and heavy, this pouch is built to a much higher specification than a standard utility bag. It features a reinforced structure designed to handle the weight and edges of a metal spade without sagging or tearing.
Sourced in Grade A condition, this pouch is made from high-density, water-resistant Cordura® in the classic Woodland DPM pattern. It is the essential modular upgrade for anyone carrying a folding shovel on their rucksack or vehicle rig.
Key Features & Technical Specs
-
Tailored for Tri-Fold Spades: Specifically shaped to fit the standard NATO 3-way folding shovel, ensuring a snug fit that prevents rattling during movement.
-
Reinforced Construction: Built from extra-heavyweight Cordura® with internal reinforcement to protect the pouch and the rest of your gear from the spade's metal edges.
-
MOLLE/PALS Attachment: Features heavy-duty rear webbing straps with secure snaps, allowing you to mount the shovel to the exterior of your pack, saving valuable internal space.
-
Quick-Access Closure: Equipped with a robust, adjustable Fastex-style buckle and flap to keep the shovel locked in place while allowing for rapid deployment.
-
Drainage Grommet: Includes a bottom brass eyelet to allow mud and water from a used shovel to drain away, preventing rot and keeping the pouch clean.
-
Durable DPM Finish: The Disruptive Pattern Material (DPM) provides excellent concealment in woodland environments.
Condition Note: Grade A (Excellent Used)
Our Grade A stock is hand-selected to ensure it can handle the weight of a metal tool:
-
Structural Integrity: We inspect all seams and attachment points to ensure they are rock-solid.
-
Appearance: The DPM pattern is vibrant; the fabric remains stiff and durable.
-
Hardware: Buckles and MOLLE snaps are tested for a secure, "click-tight" fit.
Ideal For:
-
Bushcraft & Survival: Keep your digging tool accessible on the outside of your rucksack for fire pits or latrines.
-
Off-Roading & Recovery: Mount it to a modular panel inside your 4x4 or van for easy access during recovery.
-
Gardening & Metal Detecting: A rugged belt-mounted solution for carrying a folding spade while on the move.
