Our Matroskya pouches are named after the Russian nesting dolls of old and designed for the Recon 9 EVADE, Evade 2.0 and now the new Evade 1.5 backpacks. Each set comes with four differently sized pouches, each nested inside the other.

It is currently available in:

• Black
• Red
• Blue
• Clear PVC

Each pouch has 2 (two) zippered compartments; a vertical in front and a horizontal in the rear.

Each pouch is easily mounted by slotting the top 1" rectangular buckle (what we call a hanger) into any PALS webbing setup (what some call a MOLLE panel) or a d-ring of appropriate size so as to hold it in place.

Dimensions of the largest to smallest as follows:

• 15" x 10.75"
• 12" x 8.75"
• 9.5" x 7.75"
• 7.5" x 5.5"

The largest 2 (two) pouches has 2 (two) hangers and the smallest 2 (two) have only 1 (one) each. These pouches are extremely versatile can be used to hold anything from IFAKs, toiletries to a change of clothing.

It goes without saying that here at AON, we are big proponents of the backpack. But sometimes, we need or prefer a smaller bag to conveniently carry our basic essentials that we use and need access to throughout the day. After almost 6 months of rigorous testing and evaluation, we are proud to announce the latest generation of our beloved Chio bag: the Chio-X! This bag was designed with convenience and versatility in mind, ensuring that you can take all your essentials with you wherever you go.

 NOTE: The new Chio Organizer is sold separately.

Story behind the original CHIO:

We designed the Chio bag to hold the basic essentials, and I carry what is shown in the video here. These items I carry daily, regardless of whether I'm back home, traveling stateside or internationally. I simply add or remove additional items depending on where I'm going and how long I'm going to be there. For domestic and international travel, I keep the Chio bag below the front seat on a flight, and keep everything else in my backpack in the luggage bins above. This is especially useful on long flights when the lights are out, and I don't want to rummage through my backpack in the bin.

Finally, for those photographers among us, I would like to also mention the availability of the optional Chio camera pouch add-on. This well-padded pouch has a hook bottom that helps secure it to the bottom of the Chio where you will find a corresponding inline strip of loop. Not only is this pouch a great addition to your Chio bag, it also doubles as a stand-alone bag with its own shoulder strap. In a quick instance, you can easily convert your Chio into a small camera bag, perfect for capturing those special moments........Helm @ AON
