Molle MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) webbing is the replacement for the older PLCE system, and it's technological superiority has gained it wide acceptance amongst the military community. MOLLE systems use the Pouch Attachment Ladder System, "PALS". The PALS webbing features 25mm wide straps run horizontally and spaced 25mm apart, with 40mm gaps between attachment points. MOLLE systems are almost completely made from fabric and contain no metal clips or hooks like the PLCE system did. Biomechanical advantage characteristics, such as load bearing belts and yokes help distribute the weight more evenly to the hips and shoulders instead of having it all on the shoulders. Because of the modularity of the system pouches they can be attached to a vest, belt or pack, In fact, any MOLLE item can be attached to almost any other MOLLE item. This is one of the distinct advantages of the MOLLE system. Components can be placed in many unique configurations to adapt for any role, load, or body type. There are a number of attachment systems used with the MOLLE and our equipment uses the "Weave and Tuck" systems that has interwoven straps which are then fastened to the backing of the pouch after attachment. Since it appeared on the market, manufacturers have designed and built a seemingly endless stream of MOLLE and PALS-compatible products. If you can think of it, there's probably a way to attach it to your MOLLE equipment.
