Zipper is stiff or difficult to open/close.
Clean debris from the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper.
Pouch feels loose when attached to MOLLE.
Ensure the MOLLE straps are woven correctly through the gear's PALS channels and pulled taut. Check that the gear itself is securely fastened.

Ensure the drain grommet at the bottom is clear of obstructions. Tilt the pouch to allow water to drain.
