MK-0072 BKK 6M Document Pouch / iPad pouch made from Soviet g suit

This family of Document pouches is roughly A4+ sized with a diagonal zipper on the front modeled after the MK10 family of Aircrew survival suits and an additional opening closed with a Velcro flap on the top rear. You can slide papers and things like a clip-board in there as well as a slim notebook or your iPad Pro. You can of course also use the front zipper for small tools, writing utensils, etc.

On the outside there's a small pocket for pens as well as four leashes and key-rings to secure the pouch.

While the original "MK10" model of Document Pouches is made from salvaged German MK10 Air Force and Naval Aviation Immersion Suits, this version is made from an even rarer material. This pouch is made from a Soviet BKK 6M g suit which was worn by fighter pilots all around the former Warsaw Pact and worn to counter the effects of high-speed maneuvers. Contrary to the Western philosophy of using more of a pants style garment the BKK 6M covers the pilot's upper torso and arms as well. The numerous leashes were interwoven with tubing which was dynamically inflated to contract the suit and wearer to restrict blood from flowing from the head and the pilot thus loosing consciousness. On the last picture you see a period picture of such a suit from Yugoslavia.
The zipper is an original CONMAR made example salvaged from another g-suit. Also there's a (Western) g-suit adapter and the pouch comes with a carrying sling salvaged from an East German parachute.

The inside is padded and lined in orange.

This exclusive version has been additionally padded and comes with a carrying sling

As original suits are salvaged by me each and every pouch will be slightly different then the next as each is made utilizing different parts of the suits.
