Valken Paintball Universal Tank Vest Pouch - Secure Tank Carry

In this review the Valken Paintball Universal Tank Vest Pouch is assessed for players who need a reliable, low-profile solution to carry a single compressed air or CO2 tank. The bottom line: this pouch is for players and hunters who want a durable, adjustable mounting that reduces tank bounce and keeps gear accessible. It is especially useful for those who use MOLLE-compatible vests or plate carriers and need a pouch that fits a range of tank sizes without excessive bulk.

Key Features

• Universal fit: Holds one compressed air tank up to 110ci or CO2 tanks 20oz-24oz, offering flexibility for different setups.
• Secure retention: Elastic opening and a retention cord with guide loop keep tanks snug and prevent movement during activity.
• MOLLE mounting: Can mount horizontally or vertically to MOLLE platforms, allowing users to position the tank where it balances best.
• Bounce reduction: The unique design minimizes tank bounce, improving comfort and stability during movement.
• Adjustable closure: Velcro adjustment and long straps provide a tailored fit for tanks from 45Ci to 90Ci and different CO2 sizes.

Who It's For

The pouch is ideal for paintball players, airsoft enthusiasts, and hunters who run MOLLE vests or plate carriers and want a single-tank carry option that stays put. Its compatibility with multiple tank sizes makes it a practical choice for anyone who switches between compressed air and CO2 or who owns several tank sizes.

Those who need to carry multiple tanks, want integrated pockets for tools or accessories, or who prefer a rigid hard-case will want to look elsewhere. This pouch focuses on a compact, adjustable single-tank solution rather than multi-tank storage or hard-shell protection.
