Mount your Frag Bag upside down on the included drop panel for a smooth draw, then choose belt or carrier placement based on your loadout and access needs.

Quick answer

Mount the Frag Bag upside down on its included drop panel so the cupped hood sits below the pouch, then choose belt or plate carrier placement based on whether you need quick access while moving or a more stable, protected location.

Why upside-down mounting changes your draw

The Frag Bag is designed specifically for the M67 frag grenade, and the included drop panel lets you mount it upside down. That orientation places the grenade below other belt-mounted pouches, so you can double-stack two Frag Bags—one facing up and one facing down—without the top pouch blocking your draw. The cupped hood keeps the grenade secure while still allowing a smooth downward pull.

If you mount it right-side up, you lose the stacked configuration and the natural downward draw. The buckle may also seem backwards at first; that is intentional for the upside-down orientation, so do not flip the pouch just to make the buckle look conventional.

Belt vs carrier: pick based on access and real estate

Belt mounting keeps the Frag Bag within easy reach when you are moving or prone, and it frees up space on your plate carrier. However, a belt-mounted pouch can interfere with other gear or become uncomfortable when sitting or riding in a vehicle.

Carrier mounting offers a more stable platform and keeps the grenade protected by your body armor, but it may be slower to access if you are wearing a heavy pack or if the pouch sits high on your cummerbund. Test both locations with your full loadout before committing.

Step-by-step Frag Bag mounting

Choose your mounting location: Decide whether the Frag Bag will go on your belt or your plate carrier. For belt mounting, pick a spot that does not collide with your holster or IFAK. For carrier mounting, choose a cummerbund or front panel area that you can reach easily. Check that the pouch does not block access to other critical gear.
Attach the drop panel: Thread the included drop panel through the MOLLE webbing or belt at your chosen location. Make sure the panel sits flat and the mounting points are secure. Tug on the panel firmly to confirm it will not shift during movement.
Mount the Frag Bag upside down: Slide the Frag Bag onto the drop panel so the cupped hood points downward and the buckle faces the direction specified in the product instructions. The pouch should hang below the panel. If the buckle looks backwards, do not flip the pouch—that is the correct orientation for an upside-down draw.
Test the draw: With the pouch empty, practice pulling the hood down and away from the pouch. The draw should be smooth and unobstructed. If it catches, adjust the panel height or move the pouch to a different location. Repeat the draw several times to build consistency before loading the pouch.
Double-stack if needed: To carry two Frag Bags, mount one facing up and one facing down on the same drop panel or adjacent panels. Ensure the lower pouch does not interfere with the upper pouch's draw. Verify that both pouches remain secure when you run or climb.
