First Look: Magpul DAKA Soft Cases

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.

• 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
