About MOLLE Pouches and Equipment
The Helikon-Tex Survival Bracelet Olive is a tactical pouch. Most tactical pouches connect with MOLLE straps and hook-and-loop design accessories. MOLLE pouches have recently ended up being popular in the last few years due to tactical innovations and gear efficiency focused products. They are the top option for securing military style pouches to tactical equipment, airsoft vests, deployment bags, and other types of equipment. MOLLE straps provide a unique method for users to pick the mounting area and position of the pouch and mount them anywhere on gear where there is a MOLLE attachment panel area. The only limitation ends up being which pouches to employ and where to put them.
What is MOLLE?
MOLLE is an acronym meaning Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment and defines the pouches, panels, and straps which are employed in the MOLLE equipment system. Here are the 3 parts of the installing system: MOLLE straps, panels, and pouches. Installing tactical pouches is fast and easy. Merely thread the straps and snap the buttons to set them in place. Now that we understand what MOLLE is and how it works, let’s check out some of the most efficient MOLLE pouches you can put on your airsoft gear beginning with airsoft weapon magazine pouches.
Colors of MOLLE Pouches and Camouflage Patterns
MOLLE tactical pouches come in all colors and camo patterns. Typical pouch colors include: black, tan, OD green (olive drab), foliage green (sage), ranger green, and grey.

Types of Helikon-Tex MOLLE Pouches
Standard Rifle Magazine Pouches
These are usually called ‘basic’ pouches or simply ‘mag pouches’ since they are pretty standard in design. The magazines are secured inside the pouch with a top flap for extra security that is generally attached with Velcro. In addition to being offered from lots of tactical gear companies in the airsoft industry, standard rifle magazine pouches are resilient and one of the most budget-friendly ways to hold magazines.
Tactical Open Top Magazine Pouches
Open top magazine pouches are comparable to the standard mag pouches with a couple of adjustments. As the tactical pouch name suggests, this pouch design gets rid of the flap leaving an open top to place and remove magazines.
Open Top MOLLE Magazine Pouches with Retention
Open top magazine pouches with retention systems are the most recent and most advanced type of tactical mag pouches. In order to make mag accessibility easier and magazine swaps faster than before, this style of tactical pouch utilizes MOLLE attachments so it can be installed at any angle on a MOLLE tactical vest.
The Helikon-Tex brand also makes retention mag pouches like the FastMag style use differing types of retention to grip the magazines and offer security including bungee cables or rubberized tension bands (depending upon producer). Magazines are quickly reloadable by indexing the magazine and providing a hard yank up out of the pouch. While kept in the holder, the stress straps firmly hold the magazines so you don’t need to worry about losing the mag during quick movements, crawling, climbing up things, or maneuvers in training or on the airsoft field.
Helikon-Tex MOLLE Airsoft Weapon Handgun Magazine Pouches
Pistol magazine pouches can be found in similar designs to the rifle pouches with standard flip top, open top, and open top with retention designs of tactical pouches. The handgun magazine pouches which come in the standard design have a Velcro flap. Condor makes several basic handgun pouches which secure airsoft weapon magazines effectively with this long lasting Velcro flip top style.
The open top and open top with retention handgun pouches are the most typically used variations of handgun pouches. A lot of the same companies which make rifle mag pouches make matching handgun magazine pouches in the very same style.
Combo Magazine Tactical Pouches Kangaroo, Stacker, and Hybrid
Kangaroo tactical pouches are a paired design of pouch including both a rifle and handgun magazine. The expense of one triple mag kangaroo pouch equates to about a seventy-five percent (75%) cost savings over purchasing all 6 individually (3x rifle and 3x pistol magazines).
Tactical Dump Pouches
Dump pouches (a.k.a clip recovery pouches) create a space for you to dump empty magazines and other gear into rapidly. These tactical pouches are normally carried on your belt in a rolled up position and secured by a button or strap. The pouch can be quickly unrolled to increase in size and hold empty magazines after reloads, extra airsoft BBs/shells, and other tac gear while in the battlefield. Some dump pouches also have drawstring tops for added security while moving with a pouch that is full.
Tactical IFAK Medical MOLLE Pouches
Medical pouches are a must have for an airsoft equipment loadout. IFAK represents individual first aid kit and contains the medical gear airsoft players require when they need to patch up a gash or wound on the field. A first aid kit must contain the following items: medical tape or cloth tape, Band-Aids or adhesive bandages, Ibuprofen or Aspirin, rolled gauze, several sterile gauze pads, antiseptic wipes, folding CPR mask or breath barrier, non-latex gloves, cutting shears, tweezers, and Other medical products.
MOLLE Admin Pouches
Admin pouches make a place for carrying tools, folded maps, pens, compasses, and other field items. These pouches are basic use pouches for odds and ends which don’t go anywhere else generally. Think extra airsoft BB bags, red dead rags, multitools (if they don’t have their own separate pouch), and other equipment you may require on the airsoft field or tactical circumstance.
Tactical Radio Pouches with MOLLE Accessories
Many airsoft teams carry communications and radios devices in the field. Running a radio pouch with MOLLE accessories helps you secure your communications gear while moving. These small radio pouches will hold most walkie-talkies and radios like the Motorola TALKABOUT T800 series and Baofeng UV-5R VHR radios.
