MOLLE Pouch Buying Guide: Building Out Your Rig

Pouches are where a loadout goes from generic to genuinely functional. Here's how to prioritize which ones to buy first.

Start With Mag Pouches

Whatever else you add, Mag Pouches come first — they're the pouches you'll reach for most during a game. Our Mag Pouches and Mag Pouch with Signal options both mount cleanly to a chest rig or plate carrier.

Add a Medical Pouch Early

A Med Pouch is one of the most important additions after mags — keep it in a consistent, easy-to-reach spot on your rig so teammates can find it if they need to.

Round Out the Rig

From there, build out based on your role: a Radio Pouch if you're on comms, Grenade Pouches or Vog Grenade Pouches for support roles, and a Canteen Pouch for longer games. A Sundry Pouch is a good catch-all for small gear, and a Shovel Pouch or Gas Mask Pouch round things out for a fully-kitted milsim loadout.

Where to Mount Them

Most of our pouches are MOLLE-compatible and will mount to a Chest Rig, Plate Carrier, or Belt — keep your most-used pouches within easy reach and save the belt for backup or less-used gear.
