Using this handcuff pouch is a breeze. First, open the hook - and - loop closure by pulling the tab. Then, place your handcuffs inside. You can store up to two sets of them. To carry it, you can attach it to your MOLLE gear if you have that type of equipment. Or, you can use the belt mounting option to attach it to your belt. The carabiner is great for quick and easy attachment to other items. When it comes to maintenance, simply wipe it down with a damp cloth every once in a while to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the material. Also, make sure the hook - and - loop closure is not getting too dirty or clogged, as this could affect its functionality.
