Review on Mission Darkness Shield MOLLE Faraday by Dale Toth

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nearly perfect. Packsacks

The pouch works GREAT for blocking radio signals. I've tested RF blocking on a variety of devices. Your phone will be disconnected from all services even before you close your bag. If you put the walkie-talkie in a pocket and try to contact it from outside the pocket, I have to move less than 30 cm from the pocket before the receiver in the pocket can pick up a signal. A few friends bought them to avoid the COVID-19 nonsense of contact tracing. I keep my toll tag and phones in this bag when I don't want to be followed. I'm assuming it's waterproof but haven't tested it. The inner bag is the same as your standard rolled dry bags and then has an extra welded zipper on the outside of the bag. I found it difficult to attach the pouch to the different molle strap on other pouches. Threading the straps right through the straps makes it look like the bag will just pop off while hiking. Weaving the straps into the molle straps puts a lot of stress on both pockets as the straps aren't exactly aligned as they should. It seems to me that weaving the straps this way multiple times has caused them to lose some of their rigidity, but I can't tell if the bag was designed to allow the straps to go straight through your molle without weaving. Anyway, I don't like the zipper. The zipper is still difficult to open and close even after a few months. I know a seam-sealed zipper can take a long time to open, but I use this bag a lot and it's still difficult to open and close. Strong enough to make it look like the zipper will break sooner or later. For such a small $100 bag, I would hope for the best in both of those departments. But for the purpose I bought it for, it does the job.
