Put MOLLE gear on a belt?

Postby Alien_Hunter » Wed Mar 13, 2013 12:46 am

I thought this was a necro again.

It's straight forward:

Like you're weaving it onto a set of PALs webbing, except you leave space on the back enough for a belt.

Then slide belt through said space.

There, no money spent on some super high-speed low drag belt.

Or just go to Google and look for a bleeding battle belt.

This. MOLLE belts tempt you to cover it in shit that slows you down.

Or makes you look cool, depends on how you look at it.

Eagle industries, makes a MOLLE Dive Belt Adapter
(found on ebay)
TT Make a Malice Clip Adapter
found here: http://www.tacticaltailor.com/maliceclipbeltadapter.aspx
First Spear makes their "Missing Link"

But like the guys said... just skip the top two loops, slip under the thind and so on.Snap or clip if off and then slide your belt through the large top loop.

Condor also makes a couple of Molle belts. Similar to the one posted above but a hundred dollars cheaper: http://www.airsoftoutletnw.com/condor-m ... ast-belt-9
Myself, I've been thinking about using one these in a super minimalist kit set-up. So that I can keep as much as possible, around 90% of it as a goal, in a backpack so that I can grab and go play with little fretting.
I'm a major chairsofter, sorry about that.

Just an FYI, there is nothing Minimal about the condor Battle belt. Really there is nothing minimal about the battle belt series no matter who make them. They are a large and bulky alternative to the old MOLLE belts, sure they have padding to help around your waist but they add almost a full inch to either side of you before the pouches. Most are made to be used with suspenders or some sort of harness to help keep them up around your waist because of weight and/or poor design...
The more expensive ones are usually a bit less bulky, like the HSGI or the Eagle industries... But again in my opinion using the old MOLLE belt's like Tactical tailor, or Blackhawk Industries, is the way to go. They are light weight carriers, if you slip a leg rig on it they won't bounce around and they won't add more than 1/2" total around your waist before the pouches.

I used an old HSGI MOLLE (3 channels tall, not the current suregrip belt) belt for my belt only kit in conjunction with their suspenders. Worked great! Would carry a full days worth of kit. If you can find one, and want to have a belt that will carry everything instead of using a plate carrier/chest rig. I would NOT suggest using it with a PC. I did that and it was uncomfortable as my range of motion went to shit.

I've since ditched the setup (not milsim), but for a way to carry everything and not hinder my range of movement, it was great.

The Condor belt is janky shit. Switch had one and I watched it fall apart at a couple Ivan skirms.

THIS! I start browsing for a dump-pouch and mag pouch and by the time I look in my cart there's enough MOLLE to invade Afghanistan all over again!

Crap. So I'm just ordering a dump pouch.
