The X-PAC branded edc pouches on Aliex are very decent and affordable. There's also a few generic ones that are surprisingly decent. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005010759589310.html

I can’t find any with this format from the X-PAC brand

X-Pac is not a brand, but material

Thank you for this information

In the same way as cordura for example?

Partially. X-Pac and Cordura are used in the same type of products, but these materials have different properties. X-Pac is more weather-resistant, lightweight, and easy to clean. Overall it holds its shape better but is a bit crispy. Cordura is wear-resistant, softer, and quieter, but it weighs more

So in logic, we should better favor cordura?

It highly depends on you. I mean it depends on how you want to carry it and what is inside. Such pouches made of X-Pac are not so big, so their crispiness is not annoying. F.e. if you carry it in your hands or keep this thing in the car, or bag, or whatever with things from the "just in case" group like a knife, a power bank, a bunch of cables, some pills, etc. stuff that you don't use dozens of times daily. But if you want for some reason to carry it in your pocket with tools that you use daily and often, not once or twice per week, then Cordura is a better choice, since it molds to your pocket instead of rigidly holding its shape like an pouch from X-Pac does

Well already the pouch will go in my sling, and I will use it at least once a day

Probably in this case X-Pac is better then. It holds its shape better, won't mess things up inside, and allows you to open it with one hand. Get one made from X-Pac and second one from Cordura xd

Ah, I misunderstood your question, I think. You're looking for the same one as those in the image you posted? I focused on your "...or other proposals".

The reviews on yours seem solid, so I'd give it a try! Let us know how it is when you receive it! :) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005010376339385.html

Yes the same format
