About MOLLE Pouches and Gear
The Official US Military ACU MOLLE II Canteen Utility Pouch is a tactical pouch. Many tactical pouches attach with MOLLE straps and hook-and-loop design accessories. MOLLE pouches have recently become popular in the last several years due to tactical developments and gear efficiency focused products. They are the top option for securing military design pouches to military gear, tactical vests, deployment bags, and other kinds of equipment. MOLLE straps offer 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 accessory panel location. The only restriction becomes which pouches to employ and where to position them.
What is MOLLE?
MOLLE is an acronym for Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment and defines the pouches, panels, and straps which are adopted in the MOLLE management system. Here are the three parts of the installing system: MOLLE straps, pouches, and panels. Installing tactical pouches is fast and easy. Merely thread the straps and snap the buttons to secure them in place. Now that we know what MOLLE is and how the system works, let’s check out a few of the most functional MOLLE pouches you can attach to your airsoft gear beginning with airsoft gun magazine pouches.

MOLLE tactical pouches are available in all colors and camo patterns. Common pouch colors consist of: black, tan, OD green (olive drab), foliage green (sage), ranger green, and grey.

Types of Specialty Defense Systems MOLLE Pouches
Standard Rifle Magazine Pouches
Rifle magazines are important to carry on your gear for holding M4/AR -15, AK-47, and other types of airsoft weapon rifle magazines. These are usually called ‘standard’ pouches or just ‘mag pouches’ since they are pretty basic in style. They are among the original designs of pouches created to carry extra magazines with you in the field. The magazines are secured inside the pouch with a top flap for included security that is usually fastened with Velcro. The flap could include a plastic side-release buckle depending upon 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 affordable ways to carry magazines.
Tactical Open Top Magazine Pouches
Open top magazine pouch types resemble the standard mag pouches with a couple of adjustments. As the tactical pouch name implies, this pouch style removes the flap leaving an open top to place and remove magazines. This enables silent access and increased speed while accessing or swapping gun equipment. These mag pouches can be available in triple or single magazine holding setups.
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. The retention systems are developed into the magazine pocket so that it holds the magazine tightly under pressure. In order to make mag accessibility easier and magazine reloads faster than ever before, this style of tactical pouch makes use of MOLLE accessories so it can be mounted at any angle on a MOLLE tactical vest. The pouch components are normally made of ABS construction.
The Specialty Defense Systems brand also makes retention mag pouches like the FastMag style use varying kinds of retention to grip the magazines and provide security including bungee cords or rubberized tension bands (depending upon maker). Magazines are quickly reloadable by indexing the magazine and giving it a hard yank up out of the pouch. While kept in the holder, the tension straps securely hold the magazines so you do not have to think about losing the mag during quick motions, crawling, climbing over things, or maneuvers in training or on the airsoft field.
Specialty Defense Systems MOLLE Airsoft Weapon Handgun Magazine Pouches
Pistol magazine pouches come 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 are available in the basic style have a Velcro flap. Condor makes a number of basic handgun pouches which secure airsoft weapon magazines effectively with this durable Velcro flip top design.
The open top and open top with retention pistol pouches are the most typically chosen versions of pistol pouches. A lot of the same manufacturers that make rifle mag pouches make matching handgun magazine pouches in the same style. This includes manufacturers like Blue Force Gear, and High Speed Gear. Both of their rifle mag pouch designs are outstanding quality, functional, and are replicated by airsoft pouch companies.
Combination Magazine Tactical Pouches Kangaroo, Stacker, and Hybrid
Kangaroo tactical pouches are a paired design of pouch including both a rifle and pistol magazine. A pair of mags are normally far better than one. This pouch shows this to be true because it saves you cash from having to buy two separate pouches. The expense of one triple mag kangaroo pouch equals about a seventy-five percent (75%) savings over purchasing all 6 independently (3x rifle and 3x pistol magazines). Never ever purchase pouches one at a time when you can get them together.
Tactical Dump Pouches
Dump pouches (a.k.a magazine retrieval pouches) create a spot for you to ditch empty mags and other gear into quickly. Some dump pouches also have drawstring tops for additional security while moving with a filled pouch.
Tactical IFAK Medical MOLLE Pouches
Medical pouches are a must have for an airsoft equipment loadout. IFAK represents individual first aid kit and includes the medical gear airsoft players need when they have to patch up a gash or injury on the field. A first aid pack should include the following items: medical tape or fabric tape, Band-Aids or adhesive bandages, Ibuprofen or Aspirin, rolled 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 a place for holding tools, folded maps, pens, and other field supplies. These pouches are general use pouches for odds and ends which don’t go anywhere else usually. You can carry things like extra airsoft BB bags, red dead rags, multitools (if they do not have their own special pouch), and other equipment you may require on the airsoft field or in a tactical scenario.
Tactical Radio Pouches with MOLLE Attachments
Many airsoft units carry communications and radios equipment in the field. Running a radio pouch with MOLLE attachments helps you secure your communications equipment while moving. These little radio pouches will hold most walkie-talkies and radios like the Motorola TALKABOUT T800 models and Baofeng UV-5R VHR radios.
