Description
We originally created Retainers as a solution for keeping a headlamp in place on a plate carrier. What they've turned into is a simple, effective way to retain just about anything on your kit.
Some of the common use cases we've seen include retaining:
- Headlamps
- Push To Talks (PTTs)
- Flags
- Chem Lights
- Tourniquets
- Antennas
Retainers are threaded through a MOLLE/PALS row and then the ends are looped over anything you want to secure.
The shock cord in Retainers is a continuous loop meaning the sides are adjustable to fit around any object. We've also constructed the Retainer body from Squadron® laminate, which is extremely durable and will not wear out from extended use.
Specs:
- Laminate: 2" x 1"
- Loops: 2" on each side
- Berry Compliant: made in the USA of made in the USA materials
Using these to hold my tubular nylon, no failures yet.
So far I’ve utilized these to hold TQs, bulky gloves, bundles of chemlights and smokes and have had no issues with the items slipping free. Really saves space over needing a dedicated pouch and are easy to carry in a pocket somewhere if I need to carry something on the go.
I use it to keep a headlamp retained on my plate carrier, just in case the strap's pushbutton decides to pop open. Exactly that happened while on a romp in the woods. Most likely saved me from losing my Petzl today.
As always from forge concepts it’s a great product
Currently using for a tourniquet holder and a chemstick, has been perfect no slips or stretching
I recently purchased 2 of these to hold CAT TQs on the side of my placard. The bungee cord provides great retention and the retention is strong enough to hold whatever you need whilst still allowing you to use the items if need be.
I was able to use the Retainer for this past hunting season by attaching it to my bino harness and/or pack strap. This worked especially well when it was foggy or snowing, since if I wore it as a headlamp the light would reflect off the snow/fog, and it would be harder to see.
Keep up the good work.
Simple but efficient and effective. Keeps it simple in the best way. The retainers work with ptt’s and antennas or hydration hose retention. This is an easy quality of life boost.
Simple and versatile. Using these to hold torniquets on my plate carrier and chest rig.
Holds my headlamp well.
I use these to hold torniquets on my plate carrier and range bag. So far the retention is good and I can still grab them with one hand.
