MOLLE Utility Pocket

The everyday small stuff — a knife, a light, a pen, a lighter, a spare key — has nowhere to live in most vehicles, so it ends up in a door bin where it slides around and gets lost under a map. The MOLLE Utility Pocket is 6 x 6 x 1.5 in: big enough to be useful, small enough that you can run three of them across a panel and know what is in each.

Hand-sewn from 1000D Cordura with MOLLE webbing on the back, so it weaves onto any PALS grid and holds flat instead of swinging. Multiple internal pockets divide the contents so small items are not all pooled in one corner, and the front is loop velcro for a patch or ID tag — which is how you tell one identical pouch from the next when you have several on the same panel.

What to know before you buy

MOLLE backing only. If you want the same 6 x 6 x 1.5 in footprint with elastic dividers inside, an external zipper pocket, and the choice of a velcro backing, look at the Colorado MOLLE Utility Pocket.
