“Installs directly from the front of the panel. The absolute end of weaving soft strap pouches.”

The Shell

Compression-
molded. Rigid.

Fabric pouches sag under weight, rot under UV, and rattle on washboard. The M5's compression-molded EVA shell keeps its shape, shrugs off rain and dust, and stays silent on the hardest trail.

Velcro ID

Know what's inside
at a glance.

A removable rubberized Velcro ID patch labels every pod — first aid, recovery, tools, comms. Swap patches as your loadout changes.

Common Inquiries

Questions,
answered.

How is the M5 different from a regular MOLLE pouch?

Traditional MOLLE pouches are soft fabric — they sag under weight, rot under UV, and rattle at speed. The M5 uses a rigid compression-molded EVA shell that keeps its form, stays silent, and clamps onto brackets instantly from the front. No weaving, no straps.

Can the M5 be used without a MOLLE panel?

Yes. Every pack ships with an adjustable MOLLE clamp kit AND a flat 3M® VHB™ industrial adhesive backer. Bond the bracket to camper walls, dashboards, or tool cabinets — or screw it into wood or metal to place your pod anywhere.

Will the magnetic lock hold under off-road vibration?

Yes. The patent-pending neodymium mechanical lock is engineered to stay locked through high-impact trail runs and extreme vibration, yet detaches with a single one-handed pull.

Is the M5 Magnetic Pod completely waterproof?

The M5 shell is weather-resistant: it blocks sand, dust, mud, rainfall, and stream spray easily. It is not rated for total underwater submersion.

Incredible storage system!

"I have a 2024 Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter built specifically for Search and Rescue. Rescue gear is largely carried on the Leitner ACS Forged rack, with boxes, a Decked system in bed and a Leitner Gatekeeper on the rear. It has some Molle on it and two M7 boxes are being mounted on the left and right sides. . . . grab and go! I look forward to more XG Cargo box designs to populate some seat back molle. Will post some photos when boxes mounted."

Way Better than Pouches

"Bought the M5 for my Wrangler and it’s exactly what I was looking for. Solid build, mounts easily, and holds more than you’d think. Good piece of kit. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Best part no weaving straps behind a panel."
