About MOLLE Pouches and Equipment
The Maxpedition Unisex Xbp Expandable Bottle Pouch – Xbpgry is a tactical pouch. Many tactical pouches attach with MOLLE straps and hook-and-loop style accessories. MOLLE pouches have just recently become popular in the last several years due to tactical innovations and gear efficiency focused products. They are the top choice for securing military style pouches to range gear, vests, range bags, and other types of military equipment. MOLLE straps provide a unique way for users to select the mounting place and position of the pouch and install them anywhere on equipment where there is a MOLLE attachment panel area. The only constraint becomes which pouches to manage and where to position them.
What is MOLLE?
MOLLE is an acronym for Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment and describes the pouches, panels, and straps which are managed in the MOLLE equipment system. Here are the three parts of the mounting system: MOLLE straps, panels, and pouches. Mounting tactical pouches is easy and quick. Simply thread the straps and snap the buttons to set them in place. Now that we understand what MOLLE is and how it works, let’s have a look at a few of the most efficient MOLLE pouches you can attach to your airsoft equipment beginning with airsoft weapon mag pouches.
Colors of MOLLE Pouches and Camouflage Patterns
MOLLE tactical pouches can be found in all colors and camo patterns. Typical pouch colors consist of: black, tan, OD green (olive drab), foliage green (sage), ranger green, and grey. Typical pouch camouflage patterns include: forest, desert, A-TACs, Multicam, ACU (Army Combat Uniform), digital, and others. Have a look at the example swatches below for what they look like:

Types of Maxpedition MOLLE Pouches
Standard Rifle Magazine Pouches
Rifle magazines are essential to carry on your gear for holding M4/AR -15, AK-47, and other kinds of airsoft weapon rifle magazines. These are also called ‘basic’ pouches or simply ‘mag pouches’ since they are pretty standard in style. They are among the original styles of pouches created to carry spare magazines with you in the field. The magazines are secured inside the pouch with a top flap for included security that is normally fastened with Velcro. The flap might feature a plastic side-release buckle depending on pouch design. In addition to being available from lots of tactical gear companies in the airsoft industry, basic 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 standard mag pouches with a few alterations. As the tactical pouch name indicates, this pouch style eliminates the flap leaving an open top to place and remove magazines.
Open Top MOLLE Magazine Pouches with Retention
Open top magazine pouches with retention systems are the latest and most sophisticated kind of tactical mag pouches. The retention systems are built into the magazine pocket so that it holds the magazine securely under pressure. In order to make mag accessibility easier and reloads faster than ever before, this style of tactical pouch utilizes MOLLE accessories so it can be mounted at any angle on a MOLLE tactical vest. The pouch parts are typically made of ABS construction.
The Maxpedition brand also makes retention mag pouches like the FastMag design use differing kinds of retention to grip the magazines and offer security including bungee cables or rubberized tension bands (depending on producer). 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 firmly hold the magazines so you do not have to be concerned about losing the mag during fast movements, crawling, climbing over things, or maneuvers in training or on the airsoft field.
Maxpedition MOLLE Airsoft Gun Handgun Magazine Pouches
Pistol magazine pouches can be found in similar designs to the rifle pouches with basic flip top, open top, and open top with retention designs of tactical pouches. The handgun magazine pouches which come in the basic design have a Velcro flap. Condor makes several 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 frequently found variations of handgun pouches. A lot of the same companies which make rifle mag pouches make matching handgun magazine pouches in the exact same style.
Combination Magazine Tactical Pouches Kangaroo, Stacker, and Hybrid
Kangaroo tactical pouches are a paired design of pouch including both a rifle and pistol magazine. Two is typically better than one. This pouch proves this to be accurate because it saves you cash from needing to buy a pair of pouches. The cost of one triple mag kangaroo pouch equates to about a seventy-five percent (75%) cost savings over buying all 6 separately (3x rifle and 3x handgun magazines). Never purchase pouches individually when you can get them grouped.
Tactical Dump Pouches
Dump pouches (a.k.a mag recovery pouches) make a spot for you to throw empty mags and other things into quickly. These tactical pouches are normally carried on your belt in a rolled up position and secured by a snap or strap. The pouch can be rapidly unrolled to increase in size and hold empty clips after you reload your gun, extra airsoft BBs/shells, and other equipment while on the airsoft field. Some dump pouches also have drawstring tops for extra security while moving with a pouch full of empty magazines.
Tactical IFAK Medical MOLLE Pouches
Medical pouches are a must have for an airsoft equipment loadout. IFAK stands for individual first aid kit and includes the equipment airsoft players need when they have to patch up a scrape 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 gauze, several 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 gear. These pouches are general use pouches for odds and ends which do not go anywhere else normally. Think spare airsoft BB bags, red dead rags, multitools (if they don’t have their own unique pouch), and other equipment you may require on the airsoft field or in a tactical circumstance.
Tactical Radio Pouches with MOLLE Attachments
Many airsoft organizations use communications and radios devices on the field. Running a radio pouch with MOLLE attachments helps you secure your communications equipment while moving. These small radio pouches will hold most walkie-talkies and radios like the Motorola TALKABOUT T800 series and Baofeng UV-5R VHR radios.
