You tell yourself you will stop at the next break, the break comes and goes, and by the end of the shift you are hours behind.

It was just too much trouble to get at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a MOLLE bottle pouch. It weaves onto the PALS webbing on a pack, vest, chest rig or duty belt and carries a 500 ml bottle on the outside of your kit, where you can pull it one-handed without dropping the pack off your back. Shock cord down both open sides lets it close on a slim bottle or open out on a fat one, and a drawcord over the neck stops it bouncing out when you are moving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt comes in \u003cstrong\u003etwo carry styles at the same price\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the colour list is how you tell them apart.
