Vertical Storage Solution for Narrow PALS Grids The R&B Outside Side MOLLE Pocket (Model 376) is a streamlined utility pouch designed to utilize the narrow vertical space on the sides of tactical backpacks, specifically the R&B #371 Tactical Medical Backpack. Its tall, slender profile makes it the perfect "sidecar" for holding elongated items like EpiPens, airway adjuncts, or tubular gear that won't fit in standard square pockets.

Key Features

  • Vertical Orientation: Measuring 6” High x 3.5” Wide, this pouch maximizes storage on narrow webbing columns (cummerbunds or backpack sides) without creating bulk.
  • Heavy-Duty Access: Equipped with a #10 YKK AquaGuard® zipper with a pull tab, ensuring smooth, snag-free operation and protection against moisture and dust.
  • Secure Attachment: Utilizes the PALS/MOLLE system to weave firmly into tactical gear, preventing the "pouch flop" common with inferior attachment methods.
  • Rugged Build: Manufactured in the USA from 1000 Denier Cordura® nylon, offering military-grade resistance to tears and abrasion.

Why It Matters Standard pouches are often too wide for the side panels of medic packs, wasting valuable real estate. This pouch is engineered to fill that gap. It allows responders to segregate specific tools—like a difficult airway set or a personal meds kit—on the exterior of the bag for immediate access without opening the main compartment.

How to Use

  1. Locate: Identify a 2-column wide PALS grid on the side of your pack or vest.
  2. Weave: Thread the vertical straps through the webbing.
  3. Snap: Lock the bottom snaps to secure the pouch.
  4. Load: Insert tall, narrow items (e.g., laryngoscope handles, flashlights, or rolled splints).

Technical Overview Weighing approximately 5 oz, this pouch provides 63 cubic inches of organized storage. The Coyote Tan or Black colorways integrate seamlessly with standard tactical uniforms and load-bearing equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the R&B Small Side MOLLE Med Pouch use the PALS attachment system instead of velcro?▸

The PALS (Pouch Attachment Ladder System) on the R&B Small Side MOLLE Med Pouch (SKU 379TN/379BK) provides superior durability and security compared to velcro, especially in demanding tactical and emergency response environments. PALS webbing creates a mechanical lock that won't degrade from dirt, moisture, or repeated attachment cycles—critical when you're attaching this pouch to the R&B #371 Tactical Medical Backpack in field conditions. The modular design also allows you to reposition the pouch quickly based on mission requirements without compromising hold strength.

Can I fit a tourniquet and hemostatic gauze in the R&B Small Side MOLLE Med Pouch at the same time?▸

Yes, the 6.5" H x 4" W x 2.5" D dimensions of the R&B Small Side MOLLE Med Pouch are specifically designed to accommodate compact trauma supplies. You can typically fit one CAT or SOFTT-W tourniquet plus compressed hemostatic gauze (like QuikClot Combat Gauze) or several packages of Hema-Seal pads. The quick-access zipper closure ensures you can retrieve these life-saving items in seconds during critical incidents, making it ideal for tactical medics and first responders.

Is the R&B Small Side MOLLE Med Pouch Berry Amendment compliant for government contracts?▸

Yes, the R&B Small Side MOLLE Med Pouch is Made in the USA by R&B Fabrications and meets Berry Amendment requirements for federal procurement. This makes it suitable for military, law enforcement, and government agency purchases where domestic sourcing is mandatory. Both the Coyote Tan (MPN 379TN) and Black (379BK) variants are manufactured domestically with compliant materials.

How does the 5 oz. weight of this MOLLE pouch affect load distribution on a tactical vest?▸

At just 5 ounces, the R&B Small Side MOLLE Med Pouch adds minimal weight to your R&B #371 Tactical Medical Backpack or plate carrier setup. This lightweight construction (approximately 1/3 the weight of a loaded smartphone) means you can add multiple pouches for organized medical supply storage without significantly impacting mobility or creating fatigue during extended operations. The compact 2.5" depth profile also prevents the pouch from snagging on doorways or vehicle interiors.

Will the R&B Small Side MOLLE Med Pouch fit on standard MOLLE webbing from other manufacturers?▸

Yes, the R&B Small Side MOLLE Med Pouch uses universal PALS-compatible attachment that works with any standard MOLLE webbing system, not just R&B products. Whether you're mounting it on a 5.11 vest, Condor pack, or military-issue gear, the pouch will securely attach to any 1" MOLLE webbing. This interoperability makes it a versatile addition to existing tactical loadouts for EMS, law enforcement, and military personnel.
