The MOLLE system is used to describe the attachment between pouches and modules to your tactical backpacks, rucksack, plate carriers and belts. Using MOLLE allows you to totally customise your gear to suit your mission.
MOLLE stands for “modular light-weight load-carrying equipment” it has rows of heavy-duty nylon fabric called PALS “pouch attachment ladder system” which is stitched onto backpacks, vests and numerous other gear. You can easily thread/weave through your compatible pouches & modules providing a secure and adaptable on-the go access.
Your MOLLE attachment system will likely consist of SlickStick® or MOLLE-specific straps that are designed to weave between the attachment and the equipment you’re adding it to. These sticks securely snap shut to hold your attachments in place.
Follow these steps to attach your MOLLE gear to a compatible webbed platform:
- Choose a location to attach your gear. If you’re following an SOP, you already have a plan – but if you’re free to choose where your gear goes based on what’s easiest for you, try experimenting with the placement of your MOLLE pouches on top of your backpack or other equipment to determine the best configuration before attaching anything.
- Hold onto the end of the SlickStick with the snap attached, and thread the stick through the bottom row of nylon webbing that your MOLLE attachment will align with, snap side up.
- Weave the stick or strap through the first row of nylon webbing on the backside of the attachment, tightening as you go.
- Continue weaving the stick through the webbing on your equipment and the attachment until all that remains are the snaps or buttons at the top.
- If your attachment includes multiple SlickSticks or straps, repeat this process for each stick until the entire attachment is secure.
- Once you have the attachment exactly where you want it, secure the snaps or buttons to make sure your gear stays put.
