About MOLLE Pouches and Equipment

What is MOLLE?
MOLLE is an acronym meaning Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment and refers to the pouches, panels, and straps which are used in the MOLLE equipment system.

Types of Boston Leather MOLLE Pouches
Standard Rifle Magazine Pouches
These are also called ‘basic’ pouches or just ‘mag pouches’ since they are quite basic in style. The magazines are secured inside the pouch with a top flap for added security that is usually secured with Velcro. In addition to being available from lots of tactical gear companies in the airsoft industry, standard 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 basic mag pouches with a few modifications. As the tactical pouch name suggests, this pouch design gets rid of the flap leaving an open top to insert and take out magazines. This enables silent access and increased speed while reloading weapons or accessing pouches. These mag pouches can be found in single or triple 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. The retention systems are developed into the magazine pocket so that it carries the magazine firmly under tension. In order to make mag access 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 construction.
The Boston Leather brand also makes retention mag pouches like the FastMag design use varying kinds of retention to grip the magazines and provide security including bungee cables or rubberized stress bands (depending on manufacturer). Magazines are quickly reloadable by indexing the magazine and giving it a hard tug up out of the pouch. While kept in the holder, the tension straps safely hold the magazines so you don’t need to think about losing the mag during quick movements, crawling, climbing over things, or maneuvers in training or on the airsoft field.
Boston Leather MOLLE Airsoft Weapon Handgun Magazine Pouches
Handgun magazine pouches are available 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 can be found in the basic design have a Velcro flap. Condor makes a number 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 handgun pouches are the most typically seen versions of handgun pouches. A lot of the same companies which make rifle mag pouches make matching handgun magazine pouches in the very same design. This consists of manufacturers like Blue Force Gear, and High Speed Gear. Both of their rifle mag pouch designs are exceptional quality, functional, and are reproduced by airsoft pouch companies.
Combo Magazine Tactical Pouches Kangaroo, Stacker, and Hybrid
Kangaroo tactical pouches are a paired design of pouch including both a rifle and pistol magazine. A pair of mags are usually better than one. This pouch proves this to be accurate because it saves you money from having to purchase a pair of pouches. The cost of one triple mag kangaroo pouch equates to about a seventy-five percent (75%) savings over purchasing all 6 independently (3x rifle and 3x handgun magazines). Never buy pouches individually when you can get them grouped.
Tactical Dump Pouches
Dump pouches (a.k.a magazine collection pouches) make a space for you to throw empty magazines and other things into quickly during battle. These tactical pouches are usually held in a rolled up position and secured by a snap or strap. The pouch can be quickly unrolled to increase in size and hold empty mags after reloads, additional airsoft BBs/shells, and other tactical gear while in the battlefield. Some dump pouches even have drawstring tops for extra security while moving with a pouch full of empty rifle mags.
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 equipment airsoft players need when they have to patch up a gash or wound on the field. An emergency treatment kit must contain the following items: medical tape or cloth tape, Band-Aids or adhesive bandages, Ibuprofen or Aspirin, rolled bandages, a number of sterile gauze pads, antiseptic wipes, folding CPR mask or breath barrier, non-latex gloves, cutting shears, tweezers, and Other items.
MOLLE Admin Pouches
Admin pouches make a place for holding a Leatherman, folded maps, pens, and other field items. These pouches are basic use pouches for odds and ends which do not go anywhere else normally. Think spare airsoft BB bags, red dead rags, multitools (if they do not have their own unique pouch), and other gear you might need on the airsoft field or tactical situation.
Tactical Radio Pouches with MOLLE Accessories
Many airsoft teams put to use radios and communications devices in the field. Running a radio pouch with MOLLE accessories helps you secure your communications gear while moving.
