About MOLLE Pouches and Equipment
The Vel Tye Utility Pouch is a tactical pouch. The majority of tactical pouches connect with MOLLE webbing straps and hook-and-loop design attachments. MOLLE straps provide a flexible way for users to choose the installation place and position of the pouch and mount them anywhere on gear where there is a MOLLE accessory panel location.
What is MOLLE?
MOLLE represents Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment and describes the pouches, panels, and straps which are applied in the MOLLE management system. Here are the 3 parts of the mounting system: MOLLE pouches, panels, and straps. Installing tactical pouches is quick and simple. Simply thread the straps and snap the buttons to secure them in place. Now that we know what MOLLE is and how it works, let’s take a look at some of the most efficient MOLLE pouches you can add to your airsoft gear beginning with airsoft weapon magazine pouches.

Kinds Of Vel Tye MOLLE Pouches
Standard Rifle Magazine Pouches
Rifle magazines are necessary to carry on your gear for holding M4/AR -15, AK-47, and other kinds of airsoft gun rifle magazines. These are also called ‘standard’ pouches or simply ‘mag pouches’ because they are pretty standard in design. They are one of the original styles of pouches developed to carry spare magazines with you in the field. The magazines are secured inside the pouch with a top flap for included security that is generally secured with Velcro. The flap might include a plastic side-release buckle depending upon pouch design. In addition to being available from many tactical gear companies in the airsoft industry, standard rifle magazine pouches are durable and among the most budget-friendly ways to hold magazines.
Tactical Open Top Magazine Pouches
Open top magazine pouch types resemble the standard mag pouches with a few adjustments. As the tactical pouch name implies, this pouch design eliminates the flap leaving an open top to put in and remove magazines. This allows for silent access and increased speed while accessing or swapping weapon gear. These mag pouches can be found in triple or single magazine holding setups.
Open Top MOLLE Magazine Pouches with Retention
Open top magazine pouches with retention systems are the newest and most advanced type of tactical mag pouches. In order to make mag accessibility simpler and reloads faster than before, this design of tactical pouch utilizes MOLLE connections so it can be installed at any angle on a MOLLE tactical vest.
The Vel Tye 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 maker). Magazines are quickly reloadable by indexing the magazine and using a hard pull up out of the pouch. While kept in the holder, the tension straps firmly hold the magazines so you do not have to be concerned about losing the mag during fast movements, crawling, climbing over things, or maneuvers in training or on the airsoft field.
Vel Tye MOLLE Airsoft Gun Pistol Magazine Pouches
Pistol magazine pouches come in related styles to the rifle pouches with basic flip top, open top, and open top with retention designs of tactical pouches. The handgun magazine pouches which come in the basic style have a Velcro flap. Condor makes a couple of basic pistol pouches which secure airsoft gun magazines very well with this long lasting Velcro flip top design.
The open top and open top with retention pistol pouches are the most commonly chosen variations of handgun pouches. Many of the same manufacturers which make rifle mag pouches make matching pistol magazine pouches in the same style. This consists of manufacturers like Blue Force Gear, and High Speed Gear. Both of their rifle mag pouch designs are outstanding quality, functional, and are duplicated by airsoft pouch companies.
Combination 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 usually much better than one. This pouch proves this to be accurate since it saves you money from having to buy two separate pouches. The expense of one triple mag kangaroo pouch equals about a seventy-five percent (75%) savings over buying all six separately (3x rifle and 3x handgun magazines). Never ever purchase pouches separately which you can get them as a group.
Tactical Dump Pouches
Dump pouches (a.k.a clip retrieval pouches) make a space for you to discard empty mags and other things into quickly in the field. These tactical pouches are generally held in a rolled up position and secured by a snap or strap. The pouch can be rapidly unrolled to expand in size and hold empty mags after you reload your airsoft rifle, additional airsoft BBs/shells, and other equipment while in the airsoft field. Some dump pouches even have drawstring tops for extra security while moving with a pouch full of empty clips.
Tactical IFAK Medical MOLLE Pouches
Medical pouches are a must have for an airsoft equipment loadout. IFAK stands for individual first aid kit and contains the equipment airsoft players need when they have to patch up a cut or wound on the field. A first aid kit should contain the following items: medical tape or fabric tape, Band-Aids or adhesive bandages, Ibuprofen or Aspirin, rolled gauze bandages, a number of sterile gauze pads, antibacterial wipes, folding CPR mask or breath barrier, non-latex gloves, cutting shears, tweezers, and Other items.
MOLLE Admin Pouches
Admin pouches create a place for holding tools, folded maps, pens, and other field supplies. These pouches are basic use pouches for odds and ends which do not go anywhere else usually. Think of things like extra airsoft BB bags, red dead rags, multitools (if they don’t have their own unique pouch), and other gear you may need on the airsoft field or tactical scenario.
Tactical Radio Pouches with MOLLE Attachments
Lots of airsoft teams employ radios and communications equipment in the field. Running a radio pouch with MOLLE attachments helps you secure your communications equipment while moving.
