About MOLLE Pouches and Equipment
The HSGI Tourniquet Taco with Patch is a tactical pouch. A lot of tactical pouches attach with MOLLE straps and hook-and-loop design attachments. MOLLE pouches have recently become popular in the last few years due to tactical developments and inventions. They are the top choice for securing military style pouches to tactical gear, tactical vests, range bags, and other kinds of military equipment. MOLLE straps offer a unique method for users to select the mounting location and position of the pouch and mount them anywhere on gear where there is a MOLLE attachment panel location. The only limitation ends up being which pouches to utilize and where to put them.
What is MOLLE?
MOLLE stands for Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment and describes 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. Mounting tactical pouches is simple and quick. Merely thread the straps and snap the buttons to secure them in place. Now that we understand what MOLLE is and how it works, let’s have a look at some of the most functional MOLLE pouches you can put on your airsoft equipment starting with airsoft gun magazine pouches.
Colors of MOLLE Pouches and Camouflage Patterns
MOLLE tactical pouches come in many various colors and camouflage patterns.

Kinds Of HSGI MOLLE Pouches
Standard Rifle Magazine Pouches
These are also called ‘basic’ pouches or simply ‘mag pouches’ because they are quite standard in design. The magazines are secured inside the pouch with a top flap for extra security that is normally secured with Velcro. In addition to being available from lots of tactical equipment companies in the airsoft industry, basic rifle magazine pouches are durable and one of the most budget-friendly methods to hold 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 removes 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 latest and most innovative type of tactical mag pouches. In order to make mag accessibility simpler and mag reloads faster than before, this design of tactical pouch makes use of MOLLE straps so it can be installed at any angle on a MOLLE tactical vest.
The HSGI brand also makes retention magazine pouches like the FastMag design use differing kinds of retention to grip the magazines and provide security including bungee cables or rubberized tension bands (depending upon manufacturer). Magazines are quickly reloadable by indexing the magazine and using a hard yank up out of the pouch. While kept in the holder, the bungee straps securely hold the magazines so you do not have to be concerned about losing the mag during fast movements, crawling, climbing, or maneuvers in training or on the airsoft field.
HSGI MOLLE Airsoft Weapon Pistol Magazine Pouches
Handgun magazine pouches are available in related designs 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 durable Velcro flip top design.
The open top and open top with retention pistol pouches are the most typically used variations of pistol pouches. Many of the same companies 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 featuring both a rifle and handgun magazine. The expense of one triple mag kangaroo pouch equates to about a seventy-five percent (75%) savings over purchasing all six independently (3x rifle and 3x pistol magazines).
Tactical Dump Pouches
Dump pouches (a.k.a clip collection pouches) create a spot for you to throw empty magazines and other gear into quickly in the field. These tactical pouches are typically carried in a rolled up position and secured by a button or strap. The pouch can be rapidly unrolled to expand in size and hold empty magazines after you reload your rifle, extra airsoft BBs/shells, and other gear while on the battlefield. Some dump pouches even have drawstring tops for added security while moving with a pouch that is full.
Tactical IFAK Medical MOLLE Pouches
Medical pouches are a must have for an airsoft equipment loadout. IFAK is an acronym meaning individual first aid kit and contains the medical gear airsoft players require when they have to patch up a gash or injury on the field. A first aid pack should contain the following items: medical tape or cloth tape, Band-Aids or adhesive bandages, Ibuprofen or Aspirin, rolled bandages, several sterile gauze pads, antibacterial wipes, folding CPR mask or breath barrier, non-latex gloves, cutting shears, tweezers, and Other medical products.
MOLLE Admin Pouches
Admin pouches create room for holding multitools, folded maps, pens, and other field items. These pouches are general use pouches for odds and ends which do not go anywhere else generally. Think of things like extra airsoft BB bags, red dead rags, multitools (if they do not have their own special pouch), and other equipment you might need on the airsoft field or in a tactical situation.
Tactical Radio Pouches with MOLLE Attachments
Many airsoft teams carry communications and radios devices in the field. Using a radio pouch with MOLLE attachments helps you secure your communications equipment while moving. These little radio pouches will hold most walkie-talkies and radio handsets like the Motorola TALKABOUT T800 series and Baofeng UV-5R VHR radios.
