MOLLE (pronounced /ˈmɒl.liː/, similar in pronunciation to the name Molly) is an acronym for Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment. It is used to define the current generation of load-bearing equipment and backpacks used by a number of NATO armed forces, especially the British Army and the United States Army.
MOLLE-system U.S. Army in Universal Camouflage Pattern
The system's modularity is derived from the use of Pouch Attachment Ladder System (PALS) webbing equipment as rows of heavy-duty nylon stitched onto the vest to allow for the attachment of various compatible pouches and accessories. This method of attachment has become a de facto standard for modular tactical gear, replacing the All-purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment (ALICE) system used in the earliest modular vest systems (which is still in use with many police forces).
MOLLE AND PALS
The term MOLLE is used not only to describe the specific system manufactured by Speciality Defense Systems, but also interchangeably to describe generically all load bearing systems and subsystems that utilize the woven PALS (Pouch Attachment Ladder System) webbing for modular pouch attachment (though MOLLE is proprietary to Natick Labs, most use MOLLE and PALS interchangeably). Derivatives based on the MOLLE attachment method (such as the Tactical Tailor MALICE clip system) have also been developed. Any system that utilizes modular attachment methods and is usable with U.S. general issue MOLLE components is often considered "MOLLE-compatible" or is called a "MOLLE" system. Increasingly, non-military manufacturers are incorporating MOLLE technology into outdoor equipment.
There are three general modes of attachment in the MOLLE arena; the "Natick Snap", which uses a polyethylene reinforced webbing strap with the 'pushthedot' snap for security; the polymer "Malice" clip, developed by Tactical Tailor as an alternative to the Natick Snap concept, which interweaves like the Natick Snap but terminates in a semi-permanent closure that requires a screwdriver or other flat-tipped object to disengage; and a variety of attachments that fall into the "Weave & Tuck" category, in which the end of an interwoven strap is tucked into an item's backing after attachment to a vest or pack (Paraclete's SofStrap and Spec Ops Brand's hybrid attachment).
The PALS grid consists of horizontal rows of 25 mm (1 in) webbing, spaced 25 mm apart, and attached to the backing at 40 mm (1.5 in) intervals.[5] Although the specification is for the stitchings to be spaced 38 mm (1.5 in) apart, stitching in the range 35-40 mm (1.4-1.6 in) is considered acceptable in practice
PALS
The Pouch Attachment Ladder System or PALS is a grid of webbing invented and patented by United States Army Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center used to attach smaller equipment onto load-bearing platforms, such as vests and backpacks.[1][2] It was first used on MOLLE rucksacks, but is now found on a variety of tactical equipment, such as the U.S. Improved Outer Tactical Vest, Interceptor body armor, USMC Improved Load Bearing Equipment backpack and Modular Tactical Vest. It is used to attach items such as holsters, magazine pouches, radio pouches, knife sheathes, and other gear.[1] A wide variety of pouches are commercially available, allowing soldiers to customize their kit. There is also a variety of attachment methods including the Alice Clip, the Natick snap, and soft, interwoven straps.[3] The PALS system has begun to be adopted by other forces, such as the British Army, who use it on their Osprey body armor.
The PALS grid is easily visible in this image of the US Marine Corps' Interceptor Body Armor
PALS consists of webbing sewn onto the load-bearing equipment and corresponding webbing and straps on the attachment. The straps are interwoven between the webbing on each of two pieces and finally snapped into place, making for a very secure fit which can be detached with moderate effort. New types are laser cut out of single piece fabric rather than webbing straps sewn onto fabric. This is common on many new tactical items from backpacks to chest rigs. The spacing is the same standard so new lasercut ladders are 100% backwards compatible with older pouches made for webbing strap construction rigs.

I was today years old when I learned I’ve been doing it wrong. This works WAY BETTER. Thanks!
🤯My dad used to tell me “when all else fails read the directions!”. I always thought MOLLE was kind of sloppy. Thanks for setting me straight on this!
Your welcome.. I had to learn the hard way
My 6th grade teacher had that on the wall above the blackboard. Odd thing is, I had never seen any directions for MOLLE before. Every manufacturer I have gear from just assumed we all knew. I had to actively search to find some instructions, and glad I did.
Good idea to do this video mate. First time i set up my webbing i did it wrong and it wobbled all over the place. Luckily i spoke to someone who showed me the correct way to attach it like you demonstrate in the video. So a great tip for newbies who are not military etc but who appreciate using webbing 👍🏻 as always keep safe out there mate
Thanks Grey, yeah hopefully this will help someone not to make the same mistakes i did. Losing gear was not fun... (but replacing it was 🤣🤣) hope youre well mate.
They say Everydays a school day ...wondered why mine were loose lol Nice 1 Cheers buddy 👍👍
Thanks Craig mate.. misleading but simple when you know how to.dp correctly.
It's hard to get the straps in the right way, but once you've got them weaved together, you've got a very solid system.
I’ve had mine come undone (did it the correct way) it takes a lot but it can happen, I switched over to gridlok
@@d.i.m.eproductions6925Get quality pouches that attach with Malice clips. They replace the nylon web straps with flexible plastic straps that lock into place. They do NOT come undone.
Thank you, huge difference!
I have the endurance backpack and was struggling with getting packs tight on in, notably my first aid kit which I want on the outside for quick use. So many thanks that's helped me a treat.
I initially thought the same as you until recently, then I stumbled across a video like yours explaining how it should be done. thanks for the refresh.
Thanks Steve, certainly a epiphany when you realise... thanks for watching and taking the time to comment
I suspect a lot of people get this wrong, I know I did for a few years. Good instructional video. Many thanks.
Thank you, yeah i got it wrong for a coulle of trips and learned tbe hard way losing pouches is not fun... 👍
This really helped me get the most out of my MOLLE attachments. Thank you!
Glad it was of some use to you my friend
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh. You weave it. Amazing. How have I never seen this before?????? I always wondered why there was molle on pals pouches, and why my pouches were always loose and slide-y. Thank you for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the lesson. I never thought to do this.
Thank you for the insight. I’m going to redo all of my Molle now.
👍👍👍
I tend to do just one through both at the top and one through both at the bottom, otherwise you're there all day. 👍🏼🙏🏼
Not tried that. Suppose it will good for when i want to quickly detach something in the field like my cookset or something. Ill give it a go
Great video. I've seen so many use the MOLLE design incorrect or not use it for the most secure and efficient way it was designed to be used. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you.. i appreciate that. All aboutbshring knowledge 👍
Thanks
Bought a molle backpack and some molle attachments such as a medkit for when I go on vacation alone
Never used the system but if I do in future this video will have been most instructional. Cheers Scott.
Thanks very much. Its all about sharing knowledge and hopefully helpung people by learning from my mistakes.
Thanks flr watching
Excellent! Thanks for this very informative video. I, too, have been doing it wrong. Your explanation is very thorough and clearly shows both the proper technique as well as the benefits.
Thanks Rick appreciate that my friend. Have fun re-threading it all.👍👍
Brilliant Scott I had a feeling I'd done mine wrong, cheers.
Excellent!!!
It .make sense, totally!
Chinese seller have no clue.
Perfectly explained and showed, thanks!!!
They taught us this in bootcamp very helpful and very useful
Been looking for a new backpack for everyday use on Amazon and didn't know about MOLLE until "Tactical backpacks" started showing up in search results and I looked closer. This helped me understand the system before buying, and helped convince me that a MOLLE backpack is gonna be the way to go for me. Very useful video.
Thanks really appreciate that
So…today I learned something new. Thanks!!
Thanks for the video !
Thanks for that , I use Molle when at work doing security , will redo mine and hopefully no more worrying about losing pouches
Thanks Paul yeah at least now your in the know. It may aliviate some worry
Thanks for the demo, I wondered what all the extra straps were for. I primarily use MOLLE on my service dog’s vest. I will probably keep doing it the wrong way though as I have arthritis and have enough problems now🤪. Nice to know the right way though that’s why I found your video.
Glad its continuing to help people. 👍 thanks for a lovely comment x
This is definitely gonna help. So for reference I have a molle panel that goes over the seat in my pick up & I've got 4 pouches on them all done the wrong way with a spare pouch that I've attached to a day bag essentially.
I immediately changed the one currently on my bag but not the ones in my truck because I can use that to my advantage if I find myself in a situation where I need to quickly grab a pouch.
If the need comes I can also quickly grab the pouches from my truck then correctly attach them to my pack (like with the previous pouch) then I can have a full set up on an otherwise light pack
Hi Scott good video mate, loads of people now will realise they have been doing it the wrong way. Thumbs up bud 👍
Thanks Ian. All about sharing the knowledge. Its how i learned, someone pointing it out to me. So got to share the knowledge
It's harder that way but you're right, it's much ridgider when alternating while fredin it frew! Fumbs up!
Great video and explanations. Thank you so much.
Thank you
I would have gone the same as you, Scott. But when I got a new pouch for my Predator 45 I checked some vids and the Humble Trekker had done a vid to show the right way.
It’s the only one I’ve seen so top marks to you for running a new vid mate 😉👍🏼
Doing it that way makes it easy to remove by pulling the tab too.
We’re never to old to learn!
Thanks mate appreciate that. Just trying to share knowledge so.peoe can learn from my mistakes
OSCAR OUTDOORS I commend your wise words to the house 👋🏼😁👍🏼
Thanks mate
I'm new to Molle, many thanks for the video!
🤜🤛
I'm just about to start using the MOLLE/PALS system. Nice one, good to know. Cheers 👍
Glad to be able to help Lee
Great video thanks for posting 👍
Thank you really appreciate that
Taught well.
Great Instructions. Thank You for taking the time to make this video.
Thank you
Videos that make you go “hmmm”. Thanks for teaching this.
Great job! I’ve been doing it wrong too.
Great video Scott, thankyou for this I didn't know any of that
Thanks very much👍👍
Thanks for showing the way to go.👍
Thanks for watching and taking tbe time to comment appreciated
Spot on! Worth learning the correct way.
Nice one mate. Never knew this. Definitely done it wrong in the past! Sure will remember for the future. Cheers Scott
Thanks Owen. Yeah i think looking at this at 1 in 10 have.. so.at least im not on my own. Glad to help mate
I don't know how anyone could still be getting this wrong, MOLLE has been around for like 30 years now.
Not everyone is lucky enough to serve, or have this knowledge shared down to them by a relative or friend. And everyone thinks differently... puzzles / problems such as this dont come easy to everyone, including myself... sometimes its blatently obvious what the solution is, others not so much. Hence why i try to make some educational videos on my channel. Knowledge is Power after all. Thanks for watching, and taking the time to comment my friend, appreciated 🙏
I thought the same, especially as it’s called webbing. Turns out I was wrong and many people don’t know how to use it. So this video is indeed very helpful.
I had a Bergen for Christmas, the side and front pouches were incorrect. I have moved them to suit my needs, but looks as I’ll have to do it all over again! Thanks for showing me the right way. ATB stay safe 🦊
Sorry mate... but i suppose its an excuse to play with your gear... one of my favourite things to do is tinker.. 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you so much! Great information
Thank you
I have been doing it wrong, just like you used to do. This is the first video I have found on how to do it properly. Thank you!
Thanks John. Appreciate that mate. All about sharing the knowledge
I was doing it wrong too all this time. Thank you for sharing this! Cheers!
No worries 😁
Best explanation I’ve seen, nice video, helped me out! Thanks!
No worries my friend
Thought everyone knew that but if you didn't now you do
Hi mate i learned this a couple of years ago after losing my pouch whilst out, that wasn't fun. But shopping for replacements was. 🙂
@@OscarOutdoors22 im going to start a you tube channel eventually got the equipment for the phone you use just waiting to get out keep up the good work
Thanks John.
What equipment you waiting on my friend. Maybe i could steer you in right direction, i also film on my phone
@@OscarOutdoors22 i watched your video on the equipment you use and bought it off amazon
The ulanzi lights and stuff? You won't regret it mate
I was today years old when I learnt this. Thanks for a great video!
No thank you for watching. Appreciate it!
It's obvious once you see it!! Really well done instructional video on something which is very difficult and "fiddly" to show on camera. Have a well earned Thumbs Up :-) and thank you.
Thank you
I like the Molle system but I've been attaching my pouches wrong. Now I can try to doing it right! Big Thanks!
Done it! Feels and looks much much better!
Glad to hear that its helped you in the same way it helped me. Thanks for watching
Excellent video mate. Thanks for the careful explanation. I see on the news that your Queen is not doing well. Hope she gets better soon.
Unfortunately not. The Queen has passed away today. So sad such an advocate.
Re the video gld it was of some help to you 👍👍
@@OscarOutdoors22 We just heard of the Queen's passing. So sorry to hear my friend. She was indeed a great lady and she will be missed. Condolences from the United States (Arizona).
Thanks Scott, very interesting. ATB 👍😊
Thanks Alan. Appreciated mate.
I'm 46 and been doing this wrong my entire life. This was one video I'm glad I watched. Thanks.
Thank you mate appreciate that
Thanks for this!
Thanks Bob.. appreciate the positivity ✨️
I've been looking at these bags and wondering whether the stuff must flop about, I'm so glad I saw this. (Bonus points for the accent, reyt good.)
Ha ha... thanks very much. Glad its helped you out. Good ol yorkshire... cant beat it. 😂
Hey man. Hope you're good. Great video, I bet many people have done it wrong too. Will certainly make use of this ✊
Hi Dan yeah im good m8, hope you are too. Yeah ive been doing it this way for 2 years or so. But i wasn't at first...but what a game changer
@@OscarOutdoors22 yea am good. Will come out with ya when this crap is over 👍
@@veganoutdoorsman definitely mate im bored... cabin fever...
Great entertainment and good tips.
Thanks mate appreciate that.
Most of my pouches are light and so slight movement not an issue. Plus most are velcro detectable with a quick connect to make sure they stay attached to the loop base that is attached to my backpack. Went ahead and changed them and they do not move at all. Not huge for my norm pack, but I can see this being really good for when I am adding a bit to my pack. Thanks, good info.
Youre welcome.share the knowledge my friend
Out here teaching the CoD turned Airsofters soon to be Purge Guerilla kids into proper dapper looking soldiers. 💪🏽👍
It’s all about the weave. Also, install what you have in a balanced distribution. You can and probably will add more, rebalance then. Great vid kid!
Thank you David. Check out my backpack modifications video... Think I did alright with that.
This is great I’ve been doing it wrong too! I’ve just done a gear setup video and I keep my jetboil in a molle pouch... looks like I’ll have to change it lol!! Thanks for the video 🤘
Thanks mate appreciate that. Yeah i learned very quickly that i was doing it wrong.. 2 or 3 trips of losing pouches soon sorted ne out. That and a military mate. Laugjing at me.. 🤣🤣
@@OscarOutdoors22 😂😂always thought the pouch hung loose... now I know why 👍👍
Ha ah... good luck getting it all sorted... its easier with empty pouches mate.. 🤣🤣
Thanks for that. Stay safe, atb.
Thanks brother
Thank you so much
You're welcome
Shoot i was doing it all wrong too, thanks the the well explained demo mate!💪
No worries glad it helped
I have molle webbing on my backpack, I like the customization options, for example in one section I cut the middle attaching thread between that two molle loops to make a bigger loop, which I can now fit my axe handle through but the axe head doesn't fit so now I'm able to carry my axe on the outside of my backpack instead of in my backpack or hand.
Great idea... if you have Velcro on your backpack look at the Viper Accessory Holders.
ThanQ for filming
Thanks for watching
Didn't know that. Cheers Scott.
Thanks, ive known a couple of years now. But so glad i found this out. Wasnt fun losing the gear, but wont lie... was fun replacing it
thanks!
Thanks alot!
👍
knowledge is the proof in the pudding...when its right its right. loosing that piece of kit could be the difference of a hard and dangerous time ie loosing a compass, Firestarter,
top post and very informative
Thanks Mick appreciated buddy. Hope youre well. Been a while since we had a meet up. Hopefully not too much longer in lockdown and we can play out again.
Atb.m8, hopefully see you soon
@@OscarOutdoors22 if you can count best palls in one hand you can count yourself lucky ....i count myself "fortunate"
peace pall
Thanks buddy
Well would you look at that! Who'd have thought! Thank you 😊
Great info
Thank you glad it helped
Two minutes in and I'm thinking 🤔 "Ugh, I think you're doing it wrong!" 😳 Then I realized you were showing it wrong on purpose 😂 Doesn't help my 4yo is being a loud dinosaur at the moment 😂
🤣🤣🤣 yeah ive got a rooster at the moment as hes learned he was born in the year of the rooster 🐓 🤣🤣🤣
Clipping pouches to the pack PALS with carabiners can work really nicely in a pinch and if you don't mind a bit of "slop" but still have a more secure attachment
Scott you’re a genius. I used molle once, years ago and didn’t like it because it was “flappy”. Seeing your instructions makes it so clear and will definitely give it another go now.
Thanks as always.
Thanks mate really appreciate that. Yeah gotta share the no-ledge... 🤣🤣 i learned the hard way m8
Good tip mate!
Hi mate thanks for sharing good job.. ady
Thanks Ady
Sotp it 🛑
Im a rucker. Old school throw bags + bindles. Vietnam and Korea vintage bags. Maybe mainly because the cotton is softer. The polyester cuts up my fingers. Rothco has nice remakes cheap project bags you gotta make mods the straps and buckles on the backpacks not so good.
Thank you! I was doing it wrong roo
I know I'm gonna sound like a dick, but, man. Molle/pals made sense to me immediately. I don't understand why so many people get it wrong. Like how do you run a couple straps, wind up with a pouch flapping all over the place and not think "there's no way the military uses this, this can't be right." and look at it a little harder?
Dont sound like a d!ck at all mate. It was obvious once i been told. I saw loads of people who had it set up wrong.. so made this to help out
I had 58 gear as a kid and no internet to help haha :-D
Little simple in our thinking aye mate over and under guy over and under
not bad but if you want more tips and tricks just ask me i have bin doing it this way for about 9 years now for my work webbing ext
Hi mate id be intersted. Fonyou have a channel/ page i could follow?
I noticed I was doing the same too until I looked at some side pouches on my haversack and how they were connected. Seems far more robust afterwards.
Yeah definitely once you learn it seems obvious and brilliant at the same time its like an epiphany.. 🤣
what about laser cut plates/carrier? Do i need skip some loops in between then?
Scott - thank you. I can see I have a knife and two heavy pouches that need fixing in the AM. Like a light coming on! I am assuming this works better if the pouch is empty. TKS.
Yeah mush easier to manipoulate an empty pouch but can also be done with a full one if you have the patience
I noticed how the webbing on the pouch doesn't always line up with the webbing on your tactical bag or plate, so it becomes a wonky, unless you just skip one or two weaves.
I own a Brandit tactical sling bag and bought 2 small Brandit pouches for easy access to my KeySmart and knife.
It is impossible to weave the strap through the top elastic band on the pouch.
Weird, since both the tactical pack and pouches are from the same brand.
thank you sir.
FYI a butter knife makes a good tool to help you thread the straps through the webbing.
Good tip thank you
it should be totally obvious how to do it right...
I just don't understand why most people just shove it through all the loops without weaving it in and out ...it's totally obvious
Great explanation!
Thanks mate
So differant from having to hand sew 44 patt webbing to prevent it coming apart
Wow, turns out I was doing it right all this time
Awesome. Glad you were.. i lear ed from my mistakes! 😂😂
wow thank you!
Thanks!
And if you have standalone MOD straps, you run one side straight through the PALS of the pack, and the other side you weave between the PALS of the pack and part you're attaching as shown here
Other way around, PALS is the webbing and Molle is the actual attachment.
My bad lol
Thanks again.
