As far as pod holders go, the Blackcell 2+1 works far better than the surplus mag pouches that I've used in the past. The material is really solid and well-stitched, and resistant to tearing. The main pouches are fit for 140rd pods, but will also hold QLoader pods snugly. I liked that it uses as little space as possible on my vest; not spilling over the rows and eating up other usable space.
I don't like the tightness of the +1 pod holder in between the two main compartments. I had to cram a 100 rd pod into it, and it took two hands to remove it again. Maybe this will "break in" over time, though.
I like that the compartments close with Velcro; no snaps, hooks, or buttons to fiddle with. The Velcro closures could stand to be a little quieter, though.
Conclusion:
A good, solid pod holder for MOLLE vests or systems, though you may want to only use the main compartments. I'd rate it one of the better options on the market.

Review:
The Special Ops Blackcell 2+1 Pod Holder incorporates Special Ops’ Interlock System that features Velcro flaps that will attach to any compatible vest from Special Ops or COPS911.
I bought two of these Pod Pouches when I purchased my Special Ops Blackcell MOLLE Pod Pack. I was originally going to get Opsgear’s Commando MOLLE 140 Round Pod Pouch, but scince I was getting a Pod Pack with Interlock I decided I would get these to see how they worked since they were a couple dollars cheaper & combined shipping was far cheaper than buying from two places.
To install the Blackcell 2+1 Pod Holders on the back of the Pack requires a little patience. I found that if you slip a plastic baggie over the Velcro flaps of the Pod Holders you can easily align them on your Pack/Vest, then you just slip the baggies off the flaps and press down to secure the Velcro. I put a Pod Holder on both the left and right side of my back, with a Tank Pouch in the middle. The Tank pouch was a little tricky to attach with the two Pod Holders on the side because the pod Holders where kind of stiff from being brand new, but I always say if it goes on hard it won’t come off easy. That statement proved true with a trial run through my woods. With a 20oz. tank and full pods of paint I ran, dove, crawled, leaned into trees, bunkers brush, and nothing seemed to be able to take these Pod Holders off.
Conclusion:
This is an amazing product that will take a lot of abuse, is very well made, comes in multiple camo patterns, and is worth every dollar of its price.
