MOLLE system U.S. Army in Universal Camouflage Pattern
Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment, or MOLLE (pronounced /ˈmɒl.liː/MOL-lee,[citation needed] pronounced like the name Molly), is 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 uses the Pouch Attachment Ladder System (PALS) webbing equipment – rows of heavy-duty nylon stitched onto the gear – to attach equipment. This method has found use on civilian gear, and as a result, the term MOLLE is used outside the military for PALS-type webbing.
The system's modularity results from the PALS allowing 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.[1][2]
