Modular Expansion for Tactical Medic Packs The R&B Outside Front Top MOLLE Pocket (Model 374) is specifically engineered to upgrade the storage capacity of the R&B #371 Tactical Medical Backpack. Designed to mount on the upper front PALS grid, this zippered pouch provides a dedicated, accessible compartment for high-priority items like airway kits, diagnostic tools, or personal protective equipment (PPE) that need to be separated from the main loadout.
Key Features
- Secure PALS Attachment: Uses the standard Pouch Attachment Ladder System (PALS) to interweave securely into MOLLE webbing, ensuring the pouch stays locked in place during rapid movement.
- Quick-Access Zipper: Features a heavy-duty #10 YKK AquaGuard® zipper with a pull tab, allowing for smooth, snag-free opening even while wearing gloves.
- Rugged Durability: Constructed from 1000 Denier Cordura® nylon, providing exceptional resistance to tears, abrasions, and water in harsh field environments.
- Perfect Fit: Dimensioned at 10” Wide x 5” High, it is perfectly sized to maximize the horizontal PALS real estate on the upper section of tactical backpacks.
Why It Matters In a tactical environment, modularity is key. A static bag layout may not fit every mission profile. This add-on pouch allows medics to scale their kit up or down. By moving "frequently used" items to this external pouch, you free up internal space for bulkier trauma supplies and reduce the time spent digging through the main compartment.
How to Use
- Align: Position the pouch over the upper front webbing of your #371 backpack or vest.
- Weave: Thread the pouch’s vertical straps through the bag’s horizontal webbing rows.
- Snap: Secure the snaps at the bottom of the straps to lock the pouch in place.
- Load: Fill with intermediate-sized kits (e.g., IO drivers, SAM splints, or diagnostic sets).
