Integrated Communication for the Lightweight Armor Carrier Vest - The Rothco LACV Side Radio Pouch Set is a specialized accessory specifically engineered to interface with the side cummerbund of Rothco’s Lightweight Armor Carrier Vest (LACV).

Crafted from 100% 600D polyester, these pouches provide a durable and weather-resistant solution for carrying handheld communication devices without the need for additional MOLLE weaving. The attachment system features a large hook-and-loop field on the rear of each pouch, designed to bond directly to the loop surface of the LACV. For retention, an adjustable elastic cord with a tactical pull tab keeps the radio securely seated while allowing for immediate one-handed extraction. Each set includes two pouches, enabling a balanced loadout on both the left and right sides of the vest.

Key Features

  • Optimized for LACV: Direct-attach hook-and-loop backings specifically designed for the Rothco Lightweight Armor Carrier Vest.
  • 600D Polyester Durability: High-tensile material provides superior abrasion resistance in rugged environments.
  • Elastic Cord Retention: Adjustable top-down bungee with a pull tab ensures secure device seating and rapid access.
  • Sold as a Set: Includes two (2) pouches to outfit both sides of the plate carrier for symmetry and increased capacity.
  • Integrated Drain Hole: Bottom-mounted eyelet allows for moisture escape, protecting electronics from water buildup.

Why It Matters Traditional MOLLE pouches can be bulky and time-consuming to reposition on a cummerbund. This hook-and-loop system allows for instant adjustment and a lower-profile mount, ensuring your communication gear stays accessible and doesn't interfere with arm movement or side-plate placement.

How to Use / What Problem It Solves Solves the problem of mounting communication gear on laser-cut or hook-and-loop based cummerbunds where traditional MOLLE straps may be less efficient. Simply press the hook backing against the vest's loop field for a secure, semi-permanent mount.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose the Rothco LACV Side Radio Pouch Set over generic MOLLE pouches?▸

The Rothco LACV Side Radio Pouch Set (SKU 5734) is purpose-built for the Lightweight Armor Carrier Vest system with secure hook & loop attachment, eliminating the need for MOLLE weaving. The 600D polyester construction with elastic retention keeps radios secure during dynamic movement, while the side-mount design maintains a low profile and doesn't interfere with plate pockets or magazine access. Generic MOLLE pouches require threading and may shift under load, whereas these LACV-specific pouches attach instantly and stay locked in position.

Will these radio pouches fit my Motorola APX or Harris XL-200P radio?▸

Yes, the elastic retention system in the Rothco LACV Side Radio Pouch Set accommodates most duty radios including Motorola APX series, Harris XL-200P, and similar form factors. The elastic expands to fit radios with antennas attached and secures them during running, climbing, or vehicle operations. Each pouch in the set measures to hold standard handheld radios while maintaining quick-draw access for emergency communications.

Can I mount these pouches on non-Rothco plate carriers?▸

While designed for Rothco's LACV system, these Side Radio Pouches use universal hook & loop (Velcro) attachment that works with any plate carrier featuring loop panels on the sides. Check that your carrier has loop field on the cummerbund or side panels—most modern carriers from brands like Condor, 5.11, and Tactical Tailor include this. The 600D polyester construction matches mil-spec durability standards regardless of carrier brand.

How much weight can each LACV radio pouch hold without sagging?▸

Each pouch in the Rothco LACV set is rated for radios up to 1.5 lbs with batteries and antennas attached. The combination of hook & loop attachment and elastic retention distributes weight across the carrier's side panel, preventing sag during extended wear. The 600D polyester maintains shape even when loaded, making this set ideal for 12+ hour shifts where radio access must remain consistent.

Do these pouches work for storing medical supplies or magazines instead of radios?▸

Absolutely. The elastic retention design makes the Rothco LACV Side Radio Pouch Set versatile for carrying tourniquets, Israeli bandages, spare pistol magazines, multi-tools, or flashlights. Many agencies use one pouch for radio and the other for medical—the elastic secures items of varying sizes while allowing one-handed retrieval. The 600D polyester is easy to decontaminate, making it suitable for medical kit rotation.
