About MOLLE Pouches and Equipment
The Helikon-Tex Outback Line, Navtel Pouch is a tactical pouch. A lot of tactical pouches connect with MOLLE webbing straps and hook-and-loop design accessories. MOLLE straps offer a flexible way for users to choose the installation area and position of the pouch and mount them anywhere on equipment where there is a MOLLE accessory panel area.
What is MOLLE?
MOLLE represents Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment and defines the pouches, panels, and straps which are managed in the MOLLE equipment system. Here are the three parts of the installing system: MOLLE panels, pouches, and straps. Mounting tactical pouches is quick and simple. Merely thread the straps and snap the buttons to set them in place. Now that we understand what MOLLE is and how the attachment system works, let’s have a look at a few of the best MOLLE pouches you can put on your airsoft gear beginning with airsoft gun magazine pouches.

Types of Helikon-Tex MOLLE Pouches
Standard Rifle Magazine Pouches
These are also called ‘basic’ pouches or just ‘mag pouches’ since they are pretty basic in style. The magazines are secured inside the pouch with a top flap for extra security that is normally fastened with Velcro. In addition to being readily available from lots of tactical equipment companies in the airsoft industry, standard rifle magazine pouches are durable and one of the most economical methods to hold magazines.
Tactical Open Top Magazine Pouches
Open top magazine pouches are similar to the basic mag pouches with a few differences. As the tactical pouch name suggests, this pouch design eliminates the flap leaving an open top to insert and take out magazines.
Open Top MOLLE Magazine Pouches with Retention
Open top magazine pouches with retention systems are the latest and most advanced type of tactical mag pouches. In order to make mag accessibility simpler and reloads faster than ever before, this design of tactical pouch utilizes MOLLE attachments so it can be mounted at any angle on a MOLLE tactical vest.
The Helikon-Tex brand also makes retention magazine 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 upon maker). Magazines are quickly reloadable by indexing the magazine and providing a hard yank up out of the pouch. While kept in the holder, the stress straps securely hold the magazines so you don’t have to be concerned about losing the mag during fast movements, crawling, climbing over things, or maneuvers in training or on the airsoft field.
Helikon-Tex MOLLE Airsoft Weapon Handgun Magazine Pouches
Pistol magazine pouches are available in similar styles 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 standard style have a Velcro flap. Condor makes several standard handgun pouches which secure airsoft gun magazines effectively with this resilient Velcro flip top design.
The open top and open top with retention handgun pouches are the most frequently found variations of pistol pouches. A lot of the same companies which make rifle mag pouches make matching pistol magazine pouches in the same style.
Combination Magazine Tactical Pouches Kangaroo, Stacker, and Hybrid
Kangaroo tactical pouches are a paired style of pouch featuring both a rifle and pistol magazine. Two is generally far better than one. This pouch shows this to be correct given that it saves you money from needing to buy two separate pouches. For instance, the expense of one triple mag kangaroo pouch equals about a seventy-five percent (75%) savings over purchasing all six separately (3x rifle and 3x handgun magazines). Never buy pouches separately which you can get them together.
Tactical Dump Pouches
Dump pouches (a.k.a clip recovery pouches) make a spot for you to throw empty magazines and other things into quickly during battle. These tactical pouches are normally carried on tactical belts in a rolled up position and secured by a snap or strap. The pouch can be quickly unrolled to expand in size and hold empty mags after you reload your airsoft gun, extra airsoft BBs/shells, and other tac gear while in the airsoft field. Some dump pouches even have drawstring tops for extra security while moving with a pouch full of empty handgun clips.
Tactical IFAK Medical MOLLE Pouches
Medical pouches are a must have for an airsoft gear loadout. IFAK stands for individual first aid kit and consists of the equipment airsoft players need when they need to patch up a scrape or wound on the field. A first aid pack needs to 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, antiseptic wipes, folding CPR mask or breath barrier, non-latex gloves, cutting shears, tweezers, and Other products.
MOLLE Admin Pouches
Admin pouches make room for holding a Leatherman, folded maps, pens, compasses, and other field supplies. These pouches are basic use pouches for odds and ends which do not go anywhere else generally. Think extra airsoft BB bags, red dead rags, multitools (if they do not have their own unique pouch), and other gear you might require on the airsoft field or tactical scenario.
Tactical Radio Pouches with MOLLE Accessories
Many airsoft organizations use communications and radios equipment in the field. Adopting a radio pouch with MOLLE attachments helps you secure your communications gear while moving. These little radio pouches will hold most walkie-talkies and radio handsets like the Motorola TALKABOUT T800 models and Baofeng UV-5R VHR radios.
