About MOLLE Pouches and Gear
The Bala Gear CAT Tourniquet Case is a tactical pouch. Many tactical pouches attach with MOLLE webbing straps and hook-and-loop design accessories. MOLLE straps supply a flexible way for users to choose the installation location and position of the pouch and mount them anywhere on equipment where there is a MOLLE attachment panel area.
What is MOLLE?
MOLLE stands for Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment and refers to the pouches, panels, and straps which are employed in the MOLLE equipment system. Now that we understand what MOLLE is and how it works, let’s look at some of the best MOLLE pouches you can include in your airsoft equipment starting with airsoft gun 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. Common pouch camouflage patterns consist of: forest, desert, A-TACs, Multicam, ACU (Army Combat Uniform), digital, and others. Take a look at the example swatches below for what they appear like:

Kinds Of Bala Gear MOLLE Pouches
Standard Rifle Magazine Pouches
These are usually called ‘standard’ pouches or simply ‘mag pouches’ because they are pretty basic in design. The magazines are secured inside the pouch with a top flap for added security that is usually attached with Velcro. In addition to being readily available from lots of tactical gear companies in the airsoft industry, basic rifle magazine pouches are long lasting and one of the most inexpensive methods to carry magazines.
Tactical Open Top Magazine Pouches
Open top magazine pouches resemble the standard mag pouches with a few alterations. As the tactical pouch name indicates, this pouch style removes the flap leaving an open top to insert and remove magazines. This allows for quiet access and increased speed while reloading weapons or accessing equipment. These mag pouches can come 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 easier and reloads faster than ever before, this style of tactical pouch makes use of MOLLE straps so it can be mounted at any angle on a MOLLE tactical vest.
The Bala Gear brand also makes retention magazine pouches like the FastMag style use varying kinds of retention to grip the magazines and provide security including bungee cables or rubberized bungee 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 stress straps safely 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.
Bala Gear MOLLE Airsoft Gun Handgun Magazine Pouches
Pistol magazine pouches can be found in similar designs to the rifle pouches with basic flip top, open top, and open top with retention designs of tactical pouches. The pistol magazine pouches which are available in the standard style have a Velcro flap. Condor makes a couple of basic pistol pouches which secure airsoft weapon magazines effectively with this durable Velcro flip top design.
The open top and open top with retention handgun pouches are the most frequently used versions of pistol pouches. Many of the same manufacturers which make rifle mag pouches make matching pistol magazine pouches in the exact same style.
Combination 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 equals about a seventy-five percent (75%) cost savings over buying all six individually (3x rifle and 3x handgun magazines).
Tactical Dump Pouches
Dump pouches (a.k.a clip recovery pouches) create a spot for you to throw empty magazines and other things into quickly during firefights. These tactical pouches are normally carried 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 mags after reloads, extra airsoft BBs/shells, and other tactical gear while on the airsoft field. Some dump pouches even have drawstring tops for extra security while moving with a pouch that is full.
Tactical IFAK Medical MOLLE Pouches
Medical pouches are a must have for an airsoft gear loadout. IFAK is an acronym meaning individual first aid kit and includes the equipment airsoft players require when they have to patch up a gash or injury on the field. An emergency treatment pack should include the following items: medical tape or fabric tape, Band-Aids or adhesive bandages, Ibuprofen or Aspirin, rolled gauze bandages, several sterile gauze pads, antiseptic wipes, folding CPR mask or breath barrier, non-latex gloves, trauma shears, tweezers, and Other items.
MOLLE Admin Pouches
Admin pouches make a place for carrying a Leatherman, folded maps, pens, and other field items. These pouches are general 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 gear you might require on the airsoft field or in a tactical scenario.
Tactical Radio Pouches with MOLLE Accessories
Many airsoft teams talk on communications and radios devices in the field. Applying a radio pouch with MOLLE accessories helps you secure your communications gear while moving. These little radio pouches will hold most walkie-talkies and portable radios like the Motorola TALKABOUT T800 models and Baofeng UV-5R VHR radios.
