What holster / pouch for my Kestrel ?

[Timo Turl]

Hi, I’m looking for a Kestrel holster, preferably Kydex with Teklok to attach to my belt and wondered if you have any recommendations or would suggest something completely different ? Thanks

I have an Armageddon Gear zipper pouch for mine. If I want to carry it on my belt I use a HSGI Taco.

I bought this off of Amazon. It has molle attachments on the back so I can mount it to my pack. I haven't had it long, but so far, so good.

I use the Safariland ELS system as the pouch can easily be transferred to any other pack or mounting platform.

I keep mine in my pocket.

I also just use a standard single AR mag pouch.

No, I really like the Longs Holster it fits the Kestrel perfect.

I have an Armageddon Gear zipper pouch, I was going to order one when I purchased my new Kestrel but wanted to wait until i saw one at a match. I was fortunate to pick one up at that match from the prize table. Very happy with it, I like the full zipper and light padding to protect my Kestrel.

Triad Tactical makes a molle kestrel pouch which I use and like: https://www.triadtactical.com/Kestrel-MOLLE-Pouch.html

SORD also make a nice molle one.

After reading this thread, I just ordered the Armageddon Kestrel Pocket. I like that it’s hard sided so there is nothing in my pack that can crush my 5700.

I have no idea.

FYI though.
Longs Shadow is a veteran owned company making their stuff in CO USA.
Their other stuff is solid

I like and use the Triad Tactical pouch. It's well made and padded.

I use the AG Kestrel pocket with a carabiner and clip it to my belt loop. If you hook the Kestrel lanyard to the same carabiner, you can keep the Kestrel on your belt, pull it out, and even if it gets dropped it's tethered to your body. I usually unzip the pocket half way, which makes it easy to slip the Kestrel in and out while hanging from my belt.

I was going to order the Nitelze one made by Kestrel simply because it has the openings to keep the sensors open to the environments. Has anyone found that to be critical?

I always take mine out and give it a little swing on the end of the lanyard for a moment before running any data on it.
