Helikon-Tex Foxhole Nylon Bag — Black

The Foxhole is a compact multi-purpose nylon bag with a 4.5-litre capacity and an empty weight of 172 g — less than a full water bottle — designed for those who need a nimble carrier worn over the shoulder, on the belt, or attached to a MOLLE/PALS system. At 16x35 cm, it fits a one-litre water bottle, a thermos, or a packed layer such as the Helikon Wolfhound jacket.

The roll-top closure with Fastex buckle lets you open and close the bag one-handed, even with gloves on. Internal volume adjusts by rolling the top down or cinching the external elastic cord with its plastic stopper, so the bag conforms to its contents rather than staying bulky when half-empty. Worth noting: the roll-top is not waterproof in the way a heat-welded system is — it handles light rain and splashes well, but is not designed for submersion.

On the outer panel, slick-clips allow direct attachment to belts or harnesses, while the MOLLE loops stitched on the back let you mount it to a plate carrier, pack, or chest rig without adapters. The 140 g/m² nylon keeps weight low without compromising abrasion resistance for intensive daily use.
