Weather-Resistant Side Storage for Tactical Packs The R&B Outside Side Pocket with Flap (Model 380) is the "heavy weather" alternative to zippered side pouches. Designed for the side panels of the R&B #371 Tactical Medical Backpack, this 6.5-inch tall pouch uses a flap and side-release buckle to secure contents, making it impervious to zipper failure caused by sand, mud, or ice.

Key Features

  • Fail-Safe Closure: A full-coverage flap secured by a 1-inch side-release buckle ensures quick access even with thick gloves and prevents debris from jamming the opening.
  • Vertical Capacity: Measuring 6.5” H x 4” W x 2.5” D, it offers extended vertical storage for items like large pressure dressings, IV setups, or personal radios.
  • Universal PALS Fit: Integrated vertical straps weave into any standard MOLLE grid, securing firmly to backpacks, vests, or belts.
  • Berry Compliant: Made in the USA from 1000 Denier Cordura® nylon for maximum durability.

Why It Matters In arid, sandy, or freezing environments, zippers can jam or freeze. A buckle closure is mechanical and reliable. This pouch is ideal for "mission-critical" gear that must be accessible instantly without looking down or fumbling with a slider. It utilizes the narrow side real estate of a backpack efficiently.

How to Use

  1. Mount: Thread the rear vertical straps through the PALS webbing on the side of your pack.
  2. Snap: Lock the bottom snaps to anchor the pouch to the grid.
  3. Load: Insert taller items like a 500ml IV bag, rolled splint, or radio.
  4. Secure: Click the side-release buckle shut and pull the strap tight to compress the load.

Technical Overview Weighing just 3 oz (approx), this pouch provides robust protection without bulk. It is sized to fit perfectly on the 2-column wide side panels of the R&B #371 but works on any standard MOLLE platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

The PALS (Pouch Attachment Ladder System) on this R&B #380 pouch provides superior durability and security compared to Velcro, especially in demanding field conditions. PALS webbing won't degrade from dirt, moisture, or repeated attachment cycles like hook-and-loop fasteners. This modular system allows you to quickly reconfigure your R&B #371 Tactical Medical Backpack layout without worrying about adhesive failure during critical operations. The 1" side release buckle adds an extra layer of retention that Velcro simply can't match.

Can I attach the R&B 380TN MOLLE Med Pouch to non-R&B tactical gear?▸

Yes, the R&B Small Outside MOLLE Med Pouch (SKU 380TN or 380BK) is compatible with any MOLLE/PALS-equipped gear, not just the R&B #371 Tactical Medical Backpack. As long as your vest, plate carrier, belt, or bag features standard PALS webbing, this pouch will securely attach. The universal MOLLE compatibility makes it ideal for law enforcement officers, EMTs, and military personnel who need to integrate R&B Fabrications quality into existing loadouts.

What's the actual usable storage capacity inside the 6.5" x 4" x 2.5" MOLLE pouch?▸

At 6.5" H x 4" W x 2.5" D, this compact pouch is sized for essential quick-access items like trauma shears, compressed gauze, nitrile gloves, or a tourniquet. The protective flap with side release buckle means you sacrifice about 0.5" of vertical space for security, but the trade-off is worth it for preventing gear loss during movement. Weighing just 3 oz., it won't add bulk to your R&B #371 backpack while keeping critical supplies organized and protected.

Is the R&B 380BK Black version Berry Compliant like other R&B Fabrications products?▸

Yes, both the 380TN (Coyote Tan) and 380BK (Black) versions are Made in the USA by R&B Fabrications, meeting Berry Amendment requirements for government and military procurement. This means the materials and manufacturing comply with domestic sourcing standards, making it eligible for federal contracts and agency purchases. If you're outfitting a department or unit with compliant tactical medical gear, the R&B Small Outside MOLLE Med Pouch qualifies.

How does the R&B #380 MOLLE pouch compare to generic Amazon MOLLE pouches for EMS use?▸

R&B Fabrications builds this pouch specifically for tactical medical applications with reinforced stitching, durable construction rated for demanding conditions, and a secure flap closure system that generic pouches lack. While cheaper alternatives exist, the R&B #380's 1" side release buckle, American manufacturing quality, and integration with the R&B #371 Tactical Medical Backpack ecosystem ensure reliability when seconds count. At 3 oz., it's also lighter than many imported alternatives while maintaining superior durability.
