Weather-Protected Storage for Tactical Medic Packs The R&B Outside Front MOLLE Pocket with Flap (Model 378) is a rugged expansion module designed to protect sensitive gear from the elements. While engineered as a dedicated component for the R&B #371 Tactical Medical Backpack, its universal PALS compatibility makes it an excellent addition to any plate carrier or chest rig.

Key Features

  • Secure Flap Closure: Unlike zippered pouches that can jam with mud, this pouch features a full coverage flap secured by a 1-inch side-release buckle, ensuring contents stay dry and secure even in debris-heavy environments.
  • Universal PALS Attachment: Weaves securely into standard MOLLE grids, allowing for stable mounting on backpacks, vests, or belts.
  • Berry Compliant Durability: Constructed in the USA from 1000 Denier Cordura® nylon, offering superior resistance to tears and abrasion.
  • Optimized Dimensions: Measuring 5.5” High x 4.5” Wide x 3” Deep, it is perfectly sized for small trauma dressings, compasses, or personal electronics.

Why It Matters Zippers are fast, but flaps are fail-safe. In environments with high sand, mud, or ice, a zipper can fail. This pouch uses a simple, bombproof buckle closure that works every time. It is the ideal "admin" pouch for items you need to access quickly without looking down, such as a tourniquet, strobe, or field dressing.

How to Use

  1. Mount: Thread the rear vertical straps through the PALS webbing on your pack or vest.
  2. Snap: Lock the bottom snaps to secure the pouch to the grid.
  3. Load: Insert items like bandages, gloves, or a multi-tool.
  4. Secure: Buckle the flap shut and cinch the strap if necessary to prevent rattling.

Technical Overview Weighing just 6 oz, this pouch adds negligible weight to your loadout. It is specifically designed to fit the lower front PALS grid of the R&B #371 Medical Backpack but serves as a versatile general-purpose (GP) pouch for any mission.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the R&B 4.5 X 5.5 MOLLE Med Pouch (SKU 378TN/378BK) fit on my existing MOLLE-compatible vest or plate carrier?▸

Yes, the R&B 4.5 X 5.5 MOLLE Med Pouch attaches to any MOLLE/PALS-compatible gear using the standard PALS webbing system. While it's specifically designed to integrate with the R&B #371 Tactical Medical Backpack, the universal PALS attachment means you can mount it on tactical vests, plate carriers, battle belts, or any other MOLLE-compatible platform. The pouch measures 5.5"L x 4.5"W x 3"D and weighs just 6 oz, making it a lightweight addition that won't add significant bulk to your loadout.

What makes the R&B 378TN/378BK different from other MOLLE medical pouches on the market?▸

The R&B 4.5 X 5.5 MOLLE Med Pouch stands out with its Berry Compliant, Made in the USA construction by R&B Fabrications, a trusted name in tactical medical gear. Unlike imported alternatives, this pouch meets strict federal acquisition regulations for government and military use. The protective flap closure provides an extra layer of security compared to zipper-only designs, keeping your medical supplies protected from the elements while maintaining quick access. Its compact 4.5 x 5.5 dimensions are optimized for essential small supplies without the wasted space found in oversized pouches.

Can I use the R&B MOLLE Med Pouch for non-medical gear storage in tactical or outdoor applications?▸

Absolutely. While designed as a medical pouch for the R&B #371 Tactical Medical Backpack, the 4.5 X 5.5 MOLLE Med Pouch's durable construction and secure flap closure make it ideal for storing any small critical supplies. Tactical professionals use it for admin gear, batteries, communication accessories, or emergency tools. Outdoor enthusiasts find it perfect for fire-starting kits, navigation tools, or survival essentials. The rugged, Berry Compliant materials are built for long-term use in harsh environments, whether you're in law enforcement, search and rescue, or backcountry adventures.

How does the PALS attachment system on the R&B 378TN/378BK work, and is it secure enough for field operations?▸

The R&B 4.5 X 5.5 MOLLE Med Pouch uses the industry-standard PALS (Pouch Attachment Ladder System) for modular attachment, featuring interwoven straps that lock into MOLLE webbing. This creates an extremely secure connection that won't come loose during high-movement activities like running, climbing, or vehicle operations. The system allows you to easily attach or remove the pouch as mission requirements change, without tools or complicated hardware. R&B Fabrications builds this pouch for rugged environments and long-term use, so the PALS attachment is reinforced to handle the demands of tactical medics and first responders in the field.

What's the difference between the Coyote Tan (378TN) and Black (378BK) versions of the R&B MOLLE Med Pouch?▸

The only difference between SKU 378TN and 378BK is the color—Coyote Tan versus Black. Both versions are identical in construction, dimensions (5.5"L x 4.5"W x 3"D), weight (6 oz), and features including the protective flap closure and PALS attachment system. Both are Berry Compliant and Made in the USA by R&B Fabrications. Choose Coyote Tan for desert, arid, or multi-cam environments, or Black for urban, law enforcement, or low-visibility operations. The color choice allows you to match your existing R&B #371 Tactical Medical Backpack or other tactical gear for a cohesive loadout.
