Basically the middle ground of TQ stowage, in-between just 2 rubber bands and a full coverage pouch.
I’d like to assume by now that everyone knows TQs are not made of plot armour and their effectiveness will be degraded by getting very dirty, being physically abraded or left in the sun for an very prolonged period.
Therefore they must be stored appropriately and you need to choose an appropriate carriage method for your environment, speed of access, frequency of replacement etc.
Just like most things, nylon selection is a sliding scale of being light/allowing fast access vs protection and durability. Personally I’d lean towards covering up a TQ more than the base of a magazine, because the baseplate of any Magpul mag is a pretty close fit and will protect what needs protecting (the rounds) to a good extent. YMMV.
This offering from SC allows for basically instant access and protects better than the old 2 bands method with greater durability, but is slightly more limited on direction of draw by the windlass clip. It is slightly faster than a full pouch with lid, but of course doesn’t fully cover the equipment.
It’s well designed so as to be incredibly light and keeps the TQ very tightly tucked, meaning this is an ideal pouch for tucking a TQ in to a handy nook in your gear.
Remember, your medical gear is there to be used on you for when you are in need of it.
