Q3: What is the difference between MOLLE and PALS?

 

A3:While this question is mainly asked by civilians, it's important to know that MOLLE was invented by the military to enhance gear modularity and organization.

 

MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) is a system used by military and tactical gear to allow for modular customization and efficient gear organization. It uses the PALS (Pouch Attachment Ladder System) webbing as its foundation.

 

PALS refers specifically to the rows of webbing sewn onto tactical gear, such as backpacks, vests, and pouches. This webbing is designed to securely attach compatible accessories and equipment using straps or clips.

 

In short:

 

  • MOLLE is the overall system that enables modular attachments.
  • PALS is the physical webbing grid that makes MOLLE functionality possible.

 

Now that you understand the difference, note that in general, people mainly refer to "MOLLE" when discussing both the MOLLE system and PALS webbing.
