Canadian Forces 64 Pattern Grenade Pouch

The Canadian Forces 64 Pattern Grenade Pouch is a military-issue equipment item designed for use with the 1964 Pattern (64 Pattern) webbing system adopted by the Canadian Forces during the Cold War era. Constructed from durable green cotton canvas, this pouch is sized to securely hold standard-issue fragmentation grenades or similar ordnance. The design features a flap closure with a metal buckle fastener, providing reliable retention while allowing quick access. It attaches to the 64 Pattern webbing belt via metal hooks or loops located on the back, ensuring compatibility with other components of the modular load-bearing kit. These pouches were standard issue for Canadian infantry troops and remained in service from the mid-1960s into the late 1980s, gradually replaced as newer equipment was adopted. The Canadian Forces 64 Pattern Grenade Pouch represents a practical example of Cold War-era Canadian military design and field gear.
