Rothco Elastic Pouch Triple AR15 Magazine Pouch — Black

The Rothco Elastic Pouch is an open-top MOLLE magazine pouch designed to carry three rifle magazines measuring 24x14x1 cm, compatible with standard AR-15/M4, M16 and AK-74 magazines. It is aimed at those looking for a lightweight, instantly accessible system to attach to any plate carrier, chest rig or belt with a MOLLE/PALS interface.

Retention relies entirely on polyester elastic: each magazine stays in place without needing to open any fasteners or press any buttons, reducing draw time to a single upward motion. This is the fundamental trade-off of this pouch: access speed is maximised, but retention security is lower than with a snap-closure system. During intense movement, running over rough terrain or physically demanding tasks, magazines can work loose if they are not well matched to the elastic. Anyone who prioritises secure retention in all conditions should consider a pouch with a flap or closure clip.

The 600D polyester body offers good abrasion resistance with minimal weight, and the near-flat profile — just 1 cm deep — keeps lateral bulk low when the pouch is empty or partially loaded. The polypropylene MOLLE webbing allows a stable attachment to any compatible panel.

Key Points

• The polypropylene MOLLE interface lets you position the pouch exactly where needed on your vest or plate carrier, with no fixed mounting constraints.
• The open top with elastic retention allows the magazine to be drawn and reinserted one-handed, without releasing any fastener.
• The 1 cm empty depth keeps the profile low on the side, reducing bulk compared to pouches with a rigid flap.
• The 600D polyester withstands sustained field use and contact with abrasive gear without fraying quickly.
• The three-magazine capacity — AR-15/M4, M16 or AK-74 — makes it versatile across multiple platforms without requiring adapters.
