Koala   Koala Lite   KU Koala


Function & Design
Rip, grab & fire. In one fluid motion, your concealed pistol is out in a flash. In fact, we think the Koalas are some of the fastest conceal-carries available, while allowing your handgun to be safe, secure and hidden at all times. Ideal for urban/close quarters work, or great for backcounty insurance as well.
The Koala family has grown to three, giving you many options on weight and features.

Multiple Use
All 3 Koalas can act as an EDC bag (or when not carrying a handgun), the gun compartment fits a 10" computer netbook.

Backpackers and hunters:
the Koala (when worn as a chest pouch along with a backpack), allows easy access to all the items you need on the trail without having to get into your pack - and provides instant access to a handgun when confronted by critters with four legs or two. With your handgun concealed, you won't alarm other trail users. Drop your pack and the Koala works great for day hikes away from camp.
Fishermen, especially in Alaska, will like the Koala as a chest pouch. Work out of it for your fishing, and at the same time have a large caliber handgun instantly available for bears.
The uses of the Koala are almost endless.
