Magul Daka

New from Magpul are three soft-side additions to the DAKA storage line. The DAKA Soft Cases allow users to customize layouts inside the case without the bulk associated with thick, heavy hard cases. These new DAKA Soft Cases are constructed from DAKA GRIT material and feature lockable YKK Aquaguard zippers. Inside the case, firearms and other gear are secured via a MOLLE-style slotted base system. Adding to the storage capabilities of the DAKA Soft Cases are the cases’ various pockets, and an ID slot and dot matrix grid on the case’s exterior. To carry the case, two tuckable attachment plates allow for QD, Paraclip, MASH Hook, or similar connecting devices to attach a sling.

The cases come in three sizes: 35, 44, and 53 inches, and the Soft Cases can nest inside the Hard Cases if the GRID system is removed.

DAKA Soft Cases Features:

  • Constructed of lightweight DAKA Grit material (600D kiss-coat TPU facing, TPU backing, and RF welded seams) 
  • Dual external YKK Aquaguard zippers with 550 cord zipper pulls reinforced with heat shrink wrap and include a lock passthrough to secure the contents of the case 
  • Full lay-flat design 
  • MOLLE-style slotted base with five included DAKA Gear Straps to secure items (one Gear Strap per panel) 
  • Four stretch mesh magazine pockets hold eight PMAG 25 LR/SR GEN M3 magazines (two magazines per pocket) 
  • Zippered mesh organizer pocket for smaller items 
  • Large document pocket 
  • Nylon, RW-welded card/ID slot on exterior of case 
  • Dot-matrix grid for quick ID 
  • External attachment plate for QD, Paraclip, MASH Hook, or other similar connecting device to allow for sling carriage as well as an internal handle
  • Sized to fit inside corresponding sized DAKA Hard Cases with DAKA GRID removed; supports travel where extra protection is needed and the ability to unstow and go with the Soft Case
