About MOLLE Pouches and Equipment
The Rothco GI Style MOLLE Canteen Cover, MultiCam is a tactical pouch. A lot of tactical pouches connect with MOLLE straps and hook-and-loop style accessories. MOLLE pouches have just recently become 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 gear, airsoft vests, deployment bags, and other types of military equipment. MOLLE straps offer a unique method for users to pick the mounting place and position of the pouch and mount them anywhere on gear where there is a MOLLE attachment panel area. The only constraint ends up being which pouches to adopt and where to put them.
What is MOLLE?
MOLLE stands for Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment and refers to the pouches, panels, and straps which are adopted in the MOLLE gear system. Now that we understand what MOLLE is and how it works, let’s check out some of the top MOLLE pouches you can add to your airsoft gear beginning with airsoft weapon magazine pouches.

Kinds Of Rothco MOLLE Pouches
Standard Rifle Magazine Pouches
These are also called ‘standard’ pouches or just ‘mag pouches’ due to the fact that they are pretty standard in style. The magazines are secured inside the pouch with a top flap for added security that is generally attached with Velcro. In addition to being offered from many tactical gear companies in the airsoft industry, basic rifle magazine pouches are long lasting and one of the most cost effective methods to carry magazines.
Tactical Open Top Magazine Pouches
Open top magazine pouches are similar to the basic mag pouches with a few modifications. As the tactical pouch name suggests, this pouch style removes 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 latest and most sophisticated type of tactical mag pouches. The retention systems are constructed into the magazine pocket so that it holds the magazine tightly under pressure. In order to make mag accessibility easier and reloads faster than ever before, this style of tactical pouch makes use of MOLLE attachments so it can be installed at any angle on a MOLLE tactical vest. The pouch elements are generally made from ABS components.
The Rothco brand also makes retention mag pouches like the FastMag style use differing types of retention to grip the magazines and provide security including bungee cables or rubberized tension bands (depending on manufacturer). Magazines are quickly reloadable by indexing the magazine and using a hard tug up out of the pouch. While kept in the holder, the tension straps securely hold the magazines so you don’t need to think about losing the mag during fast movements, crawling, climbing up things, or maneuvers in training or on the airsoft field.
Rothco MOLLE Airsoft Weapon Handgun Magazine Pouches
Handgun magazine pouches are available in related 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 basic design have a Velcro flap. Condor makes a couple of basic handgun pouches which secure airsoft weapon magazines very well with this resilient Velcro flip top design.
The open top and open top with retention pistol pouches are the most commonly used versions of pistol pouches. Many of the same companies which make rifle mag pouches make matching handgun magazine pouches in the exact same design.
Combo Magazine Tactical Pouches Kangaroo, Stacker, and Hybrid
Kangaroo tactical pouches are a paired style of pouch including both a rifle and pistol magazine. A pair of magazines are generally better than one. This pouch proves this to be accurate given that it saves you money from needing to buy two separate pouches. The expense of one triple mag kangaroo pouch equates to about a seventy-five percent (75%) savings over purchasing all 6 independently (3x rifle and 3x pistol magazines). Never buy pouches separately when you can get them together.
Tactical Dump Pouches
Dump pouches (a.k.a magazine collection pouches) make a spot for you to dump empty magazines and other things into quickly. These tactical pouches are usually carried on tactical belts in a rolled up position and secured by a button or strap. The pouch can be quickly unrolled to expand in size and hold empty clips after reloads, extra airsoft BBs/shells, and other gear while in the field. Some dump pouches even have drawstring tops for extra closure security while moving with a full pouch.
Tactical IFAK Medical MOLLE Pouches
Medical pouches are a must have for an airsoft equipment loadout. IFAK is an acronym for individual first aid kit and contains the equipment airsoft players need when they need to patch up a scrape or injury on the field. An emergency treatment kit needs to contain the following items: medical tape or fabric tape, Band-Aids or adhesive bandages, Ibuprofen or Aspirin, rolled gauze, several sterile gauze pads, antibacterial wipes, folding CPR mask or breath barrier, non-latex gloves, trauma shears, tweezers, and Other products.
MOLLE Admin Pouches
Admin pouches create space for carrying multitools, folded maps, pens, compasses, and other field items. These pouches are basic use pouches for odds and ends which don’t go anywhere else usually. You can carry things like spare airsoft BB bags, red dead rags, multitools (if they don’t have their own special pouch), and other equipment you may require on the airsoft field or in a tactical circumstance.
Tactical Radio Pouches with MOLLE Attachments
Many airsoft groups talk on radios and communications equipment in the field. Running a radio pouch with MOLLE attachments helps you secure your communications gear while moving. These little radio pouches will hold most walkie-talkies and radios like the Motorola TALKABOUT T800 models and Baofeng UV-5R VHR radios.
