Modular MOLLE System - (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) This system was developed for the U.S. Army.

 

The MOLLE generically describes all load bearing systems that utilize the woven PALS (Pouch Attachment Ladder System) webbing for modular pouch attachment.

 

The MOLLE System replaced the ALICE pack ( All-purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment)

 

The MOLLE has been widely accepted by other armies around the world, as it is much more durable, comfortable and has the added advantage of being fully adjustable for different torso lengths and sizes, eliminating the need for many different sizes to be made.

The main MOLLE base carriers have a combination of horizontal and vertical webbing. Various pouches can then be hung from this webbing, obtaining and adapting the configuration for the perfect set-up for any mission.

Incorporating quick-release buckles on the main base platforms and many of the pouches, making the MOLLE system very versatile.

With careful placement of pouches on your MOLLE system, the correct weight distribution can be achieved, making prolonged use much more comfortable.

 

The tailored set-up of your MOLLE can be specifically adapted for each operation, by simply either adding or changing from the vast range of mag and utility pouches, making the MOLLE system one of the most versatile webbing set-ups on the market today.
