Water Bottle Holster Overview and SetupUpdated 23 days ago

The FHF Gear Water Bottle Holster is a lightweight, compact, and low-profile solution designed for easy access and secure storage of your water bottle or thermos. Engineered for versatility, this holster expands and contracts to accommodate different bottle sizes, ensuring a custom fit while staying out of your way when not in use.

Key Features:

  • Expandable Fit: Adjusts to fit a variety of bottle sizes, from small water bottles to standard 32 oz Nalgene bottles and larger thermoses.
  • Collapsible Design: The holster automatically collapses when the bottle is removed, keeping it low-profile and unobtrusive.
  • Height Adjustability: Features a Velcro adjustment on the bottom to accommodate different bottle heights.
  • Secure Bungee Retention: A front bungee system loops over the bottle to keep it secure while allowing quick access.
    • If the bungee isn’t needed, it can be stowed away using the integrated slots for a cleaner, more accessible setup.
  • Versatile Attachment System:
    • Equipped with dual MOLLE columns, making it compatible with belts (1-inch & 2-inch) and any MOLLE platform such as packs, chest rigs, or harnesses.

Water Bottle Holster Setup Instructions

Step 1: Adjusting the Height

  1. Select the bottle you plan to use and slide it into the holster.
  2. If the bottle sits too low, remove it and locate the Velcro adjustmentat the bottom of the holster.
    • The bottom flap has hook Velcro, and the entire back panel of the holster is loop Velcro.
  3. Adjust the bottom flap higher up to shorten the pouch height until the bottle sits at the desired level.
  4. Test the height by placing the bottle back in and adjusting further if needed.

Step 2: Securing the Bungee Retention System

  1. If the bungee is loose, start from the top down, pulling any slack through the system to create a snug fit around the bottle.
  2. Use the draw lock to secure the bungee tension, ensuring your bottle stays in place while remaining easy to access.

Step 3: Attaching to Your Gear

  1. The holster features two rows of MOLLE on the back, allowing for secure attachment to various setups.
  2. Weave the MOLLE strapsinto the appropriate slots based on where you're mounting it:
    • Pack belt or tactical belt
    • Any MOLLE-compatible system (e.g., chest rig, harness, or backpack)
  3. If you need help with MOLLE attachment, check out our video on how to use the MOLLE system for a step-by-step guide.
