Pouches
Pouches are a rare clothing attachment in DayZ used with the Plate Carrier. They add 15 inventory slots to the Plate Carrier, have no armor protection, and can be repaired with a Leather Sewing Kit.
Quick item summary
Quick answer
Pouches are an attachable storage accessory for the Plate Carrier. They do not provide protection by themselves, but they make the Plate Carrier much more practical by adding extra cargo capacity. Because the Plate Carrier is strong armor but has limited storage on its own, Pouches are one of the most useful upgrades for a heavy combat loadout.
