Two Front Options, Different Jobs
The Dangler AR and the Kangaroo Front Flap V2 both attach to the front of your plate carrier, but they solve different problems. The Dangler AR is a self-contained pouch for carrying two AR-15 magazines horizontally or other items in a pass-through configuration. The Kangaroo Front Flap V2 is a modular platform that holds magazine inserts (sold separately) and provides MOLLE webbing and vertical webbing for mounting additional gear. Your choice depends on whether you need a ready-to-use pouch or a customizable base for pouches and inserts.
Mounting and Attachment
-
Dangler® AR: A 2” hook and loop interface mounts to both front and rear of plate carriers, back panels, or belts. The Dangler AR attaches quickly via hook and loop, making it easy to move between platforms or remove when not needed.
Dangler® AR
-
Kangaroo Front Flap - V2: Features a snap to secure to FCPC V6 carrier and includes the Ferro Split-Bar G-Hook for mounting. The Kangaroo Front Flap V2 uses a snap and G-Hook for a secure, hardware-based attachment that stays put during movement.
Kangaroo Front Flap - V2
Capacity and Organization
- Dangler® AR: Purpose-built to carry two AR-15 style magazines horizontally, but can accommodate other items. The internal divider secures items but can be opened to create a full-length pass through for linear charges and other longer items. The Dangler AR offers flexible storage for magazines or longer items without needing additional inserts.
- Kangaroo Front Flap - V2: Designed to carry three AR magazines (inserts sold separately), mount operational items to the sides on vertical webbing, and provide three full rows of MOLLE on the front for attaching pouches at the correct height. The Kangaroo Front Flap V2 is a modular platform that expands your real estate for pouches and accessories, but requires inserts for magazine carry.
When the Dangler AR Makes Sense
Choose the Dangler AR if you want a simple, self-contained pouch for carrying two AR-15 magazines horizontally or other items like breaching charges or multi-tools. Its hook and loop mounting lets you attach it to the front or rear of a plate carrier, back panel, or belt. The internal divider can be moved or tucked away to create a full-length pass-through, and multiple shock cord routing points let you customize retention. Because it is built from hydrophobic X-Pac® fabric and engineered with rigidity to reduce bounce, it suits users who need a low-profile, ready-to-go solution without adding inserts or pouches.
When the Kangaroo Front Flap V2 Makes Sense
Choose the Kangaroo Front Flap V2 if you prefer a modular front platform that you can configure over time. It provides three full rows of MOLLE and vertical webbing for mounting operational items, and it is compatible with the Kangaroo V2 Insert - Triple 556 or Turnover™ magazine pouches (inserts sold separately). The snap and G-Hook mounting secure it to the FCPC V6 carrier, and it is designed to accommodate the Kangaroo Handy Bandy (sold separately) for additional front-facing storage. This option suits users who want to build a customized loadout with pouches and inserts rather than a fixed pouch.
