These pouches are secured with Velcro backed pouch flaps and adjustable 'Fastex' brand clips. On the left magazine pouch's flap is the maker's platypus logo embroidered in olive green cotton.

Located either side of this pouch are grenade pouches, designed to hold a single anti-personnel grenade. These pouches are secured with velcro backed pouch flaps and a press stud.

Two large pouches, designed to hold the issue water bottle and other accessories are located at each end of the webbing. Each pouch has an elasticised nylon cord and barrel lock at the throat of the pouch. The pouches are further secured by Velcro backed pouch flaps and adjustable 'Fastex' clips. The belt is fastened at the back by two 25 mm nylon webbing straps and adjustable 'Fastex' clips.
