One Tigris Dump Pouch

Whilst many people use social media to pointlessly vent their spleen at the world, I do believe that we live in a time when the dissemination of information via the Internet is faster than ever before, and that those individuals who use it creatively can really reach a global audience of potential consumers. So it was that I discovered ONE TIGRIS; about six months ago I saw a post placed on Facebook from the then little known company here, asking for product testers amongst the UK airsoft and bushcraft communities, so I immediately responded and started digging into the background of who they were and where they had come from.

ONE TIGRIS was founded back in May of 2014 and very shortly after in August of the same year they found premises in a culture/ industry park in Shenzhen, China. During the latter part of 2014, marketing to the USA commenced. With their first original product launch, a cracking little EDC pouch, in November 2014 things really began moving for them, and early in 2015 they began similar campaigns in Canada, Japan, and Germany. Swiftly building up a loyal customer base around the world, and along the way gaining a heap of testimonials from happy users; 2016 saw them turn their attention fully to the UK.

I was lucky to be chosen as one of their very first testers in the UK, and after this had been formalised and I’d spoken more to the ever-enthusiastic Han from ONE TIGRIS, the first product duly arrived in the post. What I received was a small yet vital piece of equipment that every airsofter needs, a dump pouch; these are the perfect solution for retaining spent magazines and absolutely essential when trying for fast reloads. Other than this they are also spot-on for carrying shotgun rounds, as an ‘evidence bag’, or for carrying NVGs.

Great Build Quality

The pouch itself is very, very well made using extremely durable 500D Nylon, which has been treated with a water resistant coating; the stitching both inside and out is first rate, with no loose yarn ends evident. The main pouch itself features two MOLLE strips on the rear, so that it can be easily fitted to a plate carrier, vest or chest rig, as well as being worn on different widths of tactical belts or a battlebelt.

In addition to the main compartment, which is controlled by an elasticated bungee and a stiffener, there is a ‘Buddy Pocket’ on the front with Velcro closure and ring where you could store keys, valuables, a radio or mobile phone, or even an extra magazine at a push! On one side there is a mesh pouch, while MOLLE webbing on the other side is there for attaching additional pouches or accessories should you wish to. The overall dimensions of the pouch are 8-inches/20.32cm x 6-inches/15.24cm x 3-inches/7.62cm (H/W/D) which means you can get five STANAG mags in at a push, although this reduces to four when you’re talking about P-MAGS and the like. It’s a sound, well-designed, and well-manufactured product

In the words of ONE TIGRIS themselves: “Perfection is hard to achieve but we strive our best to attain it. That’s why One Tigris is a great companion for your next adventure. During One Tigris’ short history we have been lucky that many people have felt our intention. Usually we get together, read the messages, reviews, and blog posts from great buyers from all over the world and rejoice in what One Tigris items bring to them.”

The online approach has certainly been a novel one, but an effective one; having now spoken more with ONE TIGRIS I find their passion for both the outdoors and for great kit is unassailable. I for one look forward to seeing more gear from them coming available soon in the UK!
