This guide explains how to properly attach MOLLE-compatible gear using the PALS webbing system. It details the weaving process, emphasizing the importance of alternating up and down through the webbing rows for a secure connection. The video also differentiates between traditional nylon webbing and laser-cut MOLLE, and discusses common mistakes like not weaving properly, which leads to a less stable attachment.

Quick Summary

The MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) system utilizes PALS (Pouch Attachment Ladder System) webbing for gear attachment. Proper attachment involves weaving the pouch straps down through a row of PALS webbing, up through the pouch, and back down through another row, repeating this alternating pattern for a secure, modular connection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between MOLLE and PALS?

MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) refers to the overall system for carrying gear, comprising components like packs and pouches. PALS (Pouch Attachment Ladder System) is the specific webbing grid pattern used on MOLLE gear that allows for the attachment of these components. While often used interchangeably, PALS is the actual webbing you weave through.

How do you properly attach a pouch to MOLLE gear?

To attach a MOLLE pouch, you must weave its straps down through a row of PALS webbing on your gear, then up through the pouch itself, and back down through another row of PALS webbing. This alternating up-and-down weaving process, repeated for each strap, ensures a secure and stable connection.

What are the standard dimensions for MOLLE PALS webbing?

The standardized dimensions for MOLLE PALS webbing are approximately 1 inch tall for the horizontal rows, 1.5 inches wide, and the rows are separated by 1 inch. This consistent sizing ensures that any MOLLE-compatible pouch can be attached to any MOLLE-compatible gear.

What are the advantages of the MOLLE/PALS system?

The MOLLE/PALS system offers significant advantages in modularity and customization, allowing users to tailor their gear setups precisely to their needs. It also ensures a strong, standardized attachment method that is transferable across various pieces of equipment, maximizing gear utility.
