About MOLLE Pouches and Gear
The Northstar Mil Spec Mechanic’s Tool Bag is a tactical pouch. Many tactical pouches attach with MOLLE straps and hook-and-loop style attachments. MOLLE pouches have just recently ended up being popular in the last few years due to tactical innovations and gear efficiency focused products. They are the top option for securing military style pouches to tactical gear, vests, range bags, and other types of equipment. MOLLE straps offer a flexible method for users to choose the mounting place and position of the pouch and mount them anywhere on gear where there is a MOLLE accessory panel location. The only constraint becomes which pouches to employ and where to position them.
What is MOLLE?
MOLLE means Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment and identifies the pouches, panels, and straps which are used in the MOLLE gear system. Here are the three parts of the installing system: MOLLE pouches, straps, and panels. Installing tactical pouches is simple and fast. 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 some of the most efficient MOLLE pouches you can include in your airsoft gear beginning with airsoft weapon magazine pouches.

Types of Northstar Mil Spec MOLLE Pouches
Standard Rifle Magazine Pouches
Rifle magazines are essential to carry on your equipment for holding M4/AR -15, AK-47, and other types of airsoft gun rifle magazines. These are also called ‘basic’ pouches or just ‘mag pouches’ due to the fact that they are pretty basic in design. They are one of the original designs of pouches developed 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 attached with Velcro. The flap could include a plastic side-release buckle depending upon pouch style. In addition to being offered from lots of tactical gear companies in the airsoft industry, standard rifle magazine pouches are durable and one of the most budget-friendly methods to carry magazines.
Tactical Open Top Magazine Pouches
Open top magazine pouches are similar to the basic mag pouches with a couple of alterations. As the tactical pouch name indicates, this pouch design removes the flap leaving an open top to insert and remove magazines. This enables silent access and increased speed while reloading guns or accessing equipment. These mag pouches can be found in triple or single magazine holding setups.
Open Top MOLLE Magazine Pouches with Retention
Open top magazine pouches with retention systems are the newest and most innovative kind of tactical mag pouches. The retention systems are built into the magazine pocket so that it carries the magazine tightly under pressure. In order to make mag access easier and mag reloads faster than ever before, this style of tactical pouch uses MOLLE attachments so it can be mounted at any angle on a MOLLE tactical vest. The pouch elements are typically made of ABS construction.
The Northstar Mil Spec brand also makes retention magazine pouches like the FastMag design use differing types of retention to grip the magazines and offer security including bungee cords or rubberized stress bands (depending upon maker). 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 do not need to be concerned about losing the mag during fast motions, crawling, climbing over things, or maneuvers in training or on the airsoft field.
Northstar Mil Spec MOLLE Airsoft Weapon Handgun Magazine Pouches
Handgun magazine pouches can be found in similar styles to the rifle pouches with basic flip top, open top, and open top with retention styles of tactical pouches. The handgun magazine pouches which can be found in the standard design have a Velcro flap. Condor makes a couple of basic pistol pouches which secure airsoft weapon magazines very well with this resilient Velcro flip top style.
The open top and open top with retention pistol pouches are the most typically seen versions of handgun pouches. A lot of the same companies that make rifle mag pouches make matching handgun magazine pouches in the exact same design. This includes companies like Blue Force Gear, and High Speed Gear. Both of their rifle mag pouch designs are outstanding quality, usable, and are reproduced by airsoft pouch companies.
Combo Magazine Tactical Pouches Kangaroo, Stacker, and Hybrid
Kangaroo tactical pouches are a paired style of pouch including both a rifle and handgun magazine. Two is typically better than one. This pouch proves this to be true because it saves you money from having to buy a pair of pouches. The cost of one triple mag kangaroo pouch equals about a seventy-five percent (75%) cost savings over purchasing all six individually (3x rifle and 3x handgun magazines). Never buy pouches one at a time which you can get them together.
Tactical Dump Pouches
Dump pouches (a.k.a magazine recovery pouches) make a spot for you to dump empty mags and other things into quickly. Some dump pouches even have drawstring tops for additional security while on the run with a full pouch.
Tactical IFAK Medical MOLLE Pouches
Medical pouches are a must have for an airsoft gear loadout. IFAK stands for individual first aid kit and includes the equipment airsoft players need when they have to patch up a scrape or wound on the field. An emergency treatment kit 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 items.
MOLLE Admin Pouches
Admin pouches make a place for holding multitools, folded maps, pens, compasses, and other field items. These pouches are basic use pouches for odds and ends which don’t go anywhere else usually. You can carry things like spare airsoft BB bags, red dead rags, multitools (if they do not have their own specific pouch), and other gear you might need on the airsoft field or tactical scenario.
Tactical Radio Pouches with MOLLE Accessories
Many airsoft groups manage communications and radios devices on the field. Adopting a radio pouch with MOLLE attachments helps you secure your communications equipment while moving. These small radio pouches will hold most walkie-talkies and radio handsets like the Motorola TALKABOUT T800 models and Baofeng UV-5R VHR radios.
