About MOLLE Pouches and Gear
The Maxpedition Cocoon EDC Pouch is a tactical pouch. Most tactical pouches connect with MOLLE straps and hook-and-loop design 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 design pouches to tactical gear, vests, deployment bags, and other types of field gear. MOLLE straps provide a flexible method for users to pick the mounting location and position of the pouch and mount them anywhere on gear where there is a MOLLE accessory panel location. The only constraint ends up being which pouches to use and where to place them.
What is MOLLE?
MOLLE stands for Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment and describes the pouches, panels, and straps which are put to use in the MOLLE equipment system. Now that we understand what MOLLE is and how it works, let’s look at some of the top MOLLE pouches you can add to your airsoft gear beginning with airsoft weapon magazine pouches.
Colors of MOLLE Pouches and Camouflage Patterns
MOLLE tactical pouches come in many different colors and camouflage patterns.

Kinds Of Maxpedition MOLLE Pouches
Standard Rifle Magazine Pouches
These are also called ‘basic’ pouches or just ‘mag pouches’ because they are quite basic in style. The magazines are secured inside the pouch with a top flap for added security that is typically fastened with Velcro. In addition to being readily available from lots of tactical equipment companies in the airsoft industry, basic rifle magazine pouches are durable and one of the most cost effective methods to carry magazines.
Tactical Open Top Magazine Pouches
Open top magazine pouches are comparable to the standard mag pouches with a few differences. As the tactical pouch name indicates, this pouch design 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 latest and most sophisticated type of tactical mag pouches. In order to make mag access a lot easier and reloads faster than before, this style of tactical pouch uses MOLLE attachments so it can be installed at any angle on a MOLLE tactical vest.
The Maxpedition brand also makes retention magazine pouches like the FastMag design use varying types 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 using a hard tug up out of the pouch. While kept in the holder, the stress straps safely hold the magazines so you don’t have to worry about losing the mag during quick movements, crawling, climbing over things, or maneuvers in training or on the airsoft field.
Maxpedition MOLLE Airsoft Gun Pistol Magazine Pouches
Handgun magazine pouches can be found in related styles to the rifle pouches with basic flip top, open top, and open top with retention styles of tactical pouches. The pistol magazine pouches which come in the basic style have a Velcro flap. Condor makes several basic handgun pouches which secure airsoft gun magazines effectively with this resilient Velcro flip top style.
The open top and open top with retention pistol pouches are the most commonly found variations of handgun 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 style of pouch featuring both a rifle and pistol magazine. Two is generally much better than one. This pouch proves this to be correct given that it saves you cash from having to purchase two separate pouches. The expense of one triple mag kangaroo pouch equals about a seventy-five percent (75%) cost savings over purchasing all 6 separately (3x rifle and 3x pistol magazines). Never ever buy pouches individually when you can get them as a group.
Tactical Dump Pouches
Dump pouches (a.k.a magazine recovery pouches) make a spot for you to throw empty mags and other things into rapidly. Some dump pouches also have drawstring closure tops for extra security while on the run with a full pouch.
Tactical IFAK Medical MOLLE Pouches
Medical pouches are a must have for an airsoft equipment loadout. IFAK stands for individual first aid kit and consists of the equipment airsoft players need when they have to patch up a scrape or wound 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, 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 create space 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 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 circumstance.
Tactical Radio Pouches with MOLLE Accessories
Lots of airsoft teams use communications and radios equipment in the field. Operating a radio pouch with MOLLE attachments helps you secure your communications equipment while moving. These little radio pouches will hold most walkie-talkies and family band radios like the Motorola TALKABOUT T800 models and Baofeng UV-5R VHR radios.
