About MOLLE Pouches and Gear
The Eagle Industries 1 Liter Canteen Cover with PVS-14 Protective Insert ACU is a tactical pouch. A lot of tactical pouches attach with MOLLE straps and hook-and-loop style attachments. MOLLE pouches have just recently become popular in the last few years due to tactical innovations and inventions. They are the top option for securing military style pouches to tactical gear, tactical vests, deployment bags, and other kinds of equipment. MOLLE straps provide a unique way for users to select the mounting location and position of the pouch and install them anywhere on gear where there is a MOLLE attachment panel location. The only limitation becomes which pouches to adopt 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 gear system. Here are the 3 parts of the mounting system: MOLLE panels, pouches, and straps. Installing tactical pouches is fast and easy. Merely thread the straps and snap the buttons to set them in place. Now that we know what MOLLE is and how the attachment system works, let’s check out a few of the most functional MOLLE pouches you can put on your airsoft gear starting with airsoft weapon magazine pouches.
Colors of MOLLE Pouches and Camouflage Patterns
MOLLE tactical pouches come in many different colors and camouflage patterns.

Types of Army MOLLE Pouches
Standard Rifle Magazine Pouches
Rifle magazines are important to carry on your equipment for holding M4/AR -15, AK-47, and other types of airsoft weapon rifle magazines. These are usually called ‘standard’ pouches or just ‘mag pouches’ since they are pretty standard in style. They are one of the original designs of pouches developed to carry extra magazines with you in the field. The magazines are secured inside the pouch with a top flap for included security that is generally attached with Velcro. The flap might include a plastic side-release buckle depending on pouch design. In addition to being offered from many tactical equipment companies in the airsoft industry, standard rifle magazine pouches are durable and among the most affordable ways to carry magazines.
Tactical Open Top Magazine Pouches
Open top magazine pouches are similar to the standard mag pouches with a couple of modifications. As the tactical pouch name implies, this pouch style eliminates the flap leaving an open top to place and take out magazines.
Open Top MOLLE Magazine Pouches with Retention
Open top magazine pouches with retention systems are the most recent and most innovative kind of tactical mag pouches. The retention systems are constructed into the magazine pocket so that it holds the magazine firmly under tension. In order to make mag access easier and mag reloads faster than ever before, this style of tactical pouch uses MOLLE accessories so it can be installed at any angle on a MOLLE tactical vest. The pouch components are normally made of ABS materials.
The Army 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 bungee 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 securely hold the magazines so you do not need to think about losing the mag during fast movements, crawling, climbing, or maneuvers in training or on the airsoft field.
Army MOLLE Airsoft Gun Handgun Magazine Pouches
Pistol magazine pouches come in similar styles to the rifle pouches with standard flip top, open top, and open top with retention styles of tactical pouches. The pistol magazine pouches which can be found in the basic design have a Velcro flap. Condor makes a few standard handgun 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 found variations of pistol pouches. Many of the same companies which make rifle mag pouches make matching pistol magazine pouches in the same style.
Combo Magazine Tactical Pouches Kangaroo, Stacker, and Hybrid
Kangaroo tactical pouches are a paired style of pouch featuring both a rifle and pistol magazine. The cost of one triple mag kangaroo pouch equals about a seventy-five percent (75%) cost savings over purchasing all six separately (3x rifle and 3x handgun magazines).
Tactical Dump Pouches
Dump pouches (a.k.a magazine recovery pouches) make a spot for you to dump empty mags and other gear into during gunfights. Some dump pouches also have drawstring tops for additional security while moving with a filled pouch.
Tactical IFAK Medical MOLLE Pouches
Medical pouches are a must have for an airsoft gear loadout. IFAK represents individual first aid kit and contains the medical gear airsoft players need when they have to patch up a gash or wound on the field. A first aid pack must contain the following items: medical tape or fabric 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 medical products.
MOLLE Admin Pouches
Admin pouches create a place for carrying a Leatherman, folded maps, pens, compasses, and other field items. These pouches are general use pouches for odds and ends which don’t go anywhere else normally. Think extra airsoft BB bags, red dead rags, multitools (if they don’t have their own special pouch), and other equipment you may need on the airsoft field or tactical scenario.
Tactical Radio Pouches with MOLLE Accessories
Lots of airsoft units employ communications and radios equipment in the field. Using a radio pouch with MOLLE attachments 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 series and Baofeng UV-5R VHR radios.
