About MOLLE Pouches and Equipment
The Rothco MOLLE Compatible 1 Quart Canteen Pouch/Cover is a tactical pouch. Many tactical pouches attach with MOLLE straps and hook-and-loop design accessories. MOLLE pouches have recently ended up being popular in the last several years due to tactical innovations and inventions. They are the top choice for securing military design pouches to gear, tactical vests, deployment bags, and other types of equipment. MOLLE straps offer a flexible way for users to pick the mounting place and position of the pouch and mount them anywhere on equipment where there is a MOLLE attachment panel location. The only constraint becomes which pouches to adopt and where to position them.

Kinds Of Rothco MOLLE Pouches
Standard Rifle Magazine Pouches
These are usually called ‘basic’ pouches or simply ‘mag pouches’ because they are quite standard in style. The magazines are secured inside the pouch with a top flap for added security that is usually secured with Velcro. In addition to being readily available from lots of tactical gear companies in the airsoft industry, basic rifle magazine pouches are resilient and one of the most affordable 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 implies, this pouch design gets rid of the flap leaving an open top to insert and remove magazines.
Open Top MOLLE Magazine Pouches with Retention
Open top magazine pouches with retention systems are the most recent and most innovative type of tactical mag pouches. In order to make mag access a lot easier and reloads faster than before, this style of tactical pouch utilizes MOLLE attachments so it can be installed at any angle on a MOLLE tactical vest.
The Rothco brand also makes retention mag 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 on maker). 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 don’t have to think about losing the mag during fast motions, crawling, climbing over things, or maneuvers in training or on the airsoft field.
Rothco MOLLE Airsoft Weapon Pistol Magazine Pouches
Pistol magazine pouches come in related designs to the rifle pouches with basic flip top, open top, and open top with retention styles of tactical pouches. The pistol magazine pouches which are available in the basic style have a Velcro flap. Condor makes several standard handgun pouches which secure airsoft gun magazines effectively with this resilient Velcro flip top design.
The open top and open top with retention handgun pouches are the most commonly used variations of handgun pouches. Many of the same manufacturers which make rifle mag pouches make matching pistol magazine pouches in the exact same style.
Combo Magazine Tactical Pouches Kangaroo, Stacker, and Hybrid
Kangaroo tactical pouches are a paired style of pouch featuring both a rifle and pistol magazine. The cost of one triple mag kangaroo pouch equates to about a seventy-five percent (75%) savings over buying all 6 separately (3x rifle and 3x handgun magazines).
Tactical Dump Pouches
Dump pouches (a.k.a magazine retrieval pouches) make a spot for you to dump empty magazines and other things into rapidly. These tactical pouches are generally carried on your belt in a rolled up position and secured by a button or strap. The pouch can be quickly unrolled to expand in size and hold empty magazines after reloads, extra airsoft BBs/shells, and other equipment while on the battlefield. Some dump pouches even have drawstring tops for added closure security while moving with a filled pouch.
Tactical IFAK Medical MOLLE Pouches
Medical pouches are a must have for an airsoft equipment loadout. IFAK means individual first aid kit and contains the medical gear airsoft players need when they have to patch up a cut or wound on the field. A first aid kit needs to contain the following items: medical tape or cloth tape, Band-Aids or adhesive bandages, Ibuprofen or Aspirin, rolled gauze bandages, 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 create space for carrying tools, folded maps, pens, compasses, and other field supplies. 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 don’t have their own special pouch), and other gear you might need on the airsoft field or in a tactical scenario.
Tactical Radio Pouches with MOLLE Attachments
Many airsoft organizations work with radios and communications equipment on the field. Operating a radio pouch with MOLLE accessories helps you secure your communications gear while moving. These little radio pouches will hold most walkie-talkies and portable radios like the Motorola TALKABOUT T800 series and Baofeng UV-5R VHR radios.
