5" intervals. More and more non-military manufacturers are incorporating MOLLE technology into outdoor equipment. The PALS grid consists of horizontal rows of 1" webbing, spaced 1" apart, and reattached to the backing at 1. Urban Warfare Center This interface method led to numerous lower back injuries due to the ball (mounted on the frame) missing the socket interface on the waistbelt and impacting the user's body. It is produced for the United States Government under contract by several contractors, such as Specialty Defense, Armor Holdings as well as Eagle Industries. Any system which utilizes modular attachment methods and is usable with US general issue MOLLE components is often considered "MOLLE-compatible" or is called a "MOLLE" system.

Urban Warfare Center MOLLE is used not only to describe the specific system manufactured by Speciality Defense Systems, but is used interchangeably to generically describe 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). As of 2004, the Marine Corps has adopted a new off-the-shelf pack design by Arc'teryx and has begun introducing it into the Fleet as the ILBE, or "Improved Load Bearing Equipment". There are three general modes of attachment in the MOLLE arena, they are "Natick Snap", that uses a polyethlyene reinforced webbing strap with the 'pushthedot' snap for security. Urban Warfare Center This method of attachment has become a de facto standard for modular tactical gear, replacing the click and stick system used in the earliest modular vest systems (which is still in use with most Western police departments). The system's modularity is derived from the use of PALS webbing, rows of heavy-duty nylon stitched onto the vest as to allow for attachment of various MOLLE-compatible pouches and accessories. Finally there are 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).

Urban Warfare Center MOLLE is used to define the current generation of load-bearing equipment and rucksacks utilized by the United States Army. Derivatives based upon the MOLLE attachment method (such as the Tactical Tailor MALICE clip system) have also been developed.. Urban Warfare Center The MOLLE system was introduced in 1997. Further, the first generation of this system utilized a "ball & socket" interface between the frame and rucksack belt (which in itself formed the waistbelt of the MOLLE vest). The United States Marine Corps wanted a larger load-bearing capability, a smaller overall volume, the ability to carry 60 mm and 81 mm mortar rounds external to the pack, and a simpler overall layout and organization of the system's parts.

Urban Warfare Center Early criticisms of the MOLLE system emerged, particularly from the Army. There is the polymer "Malice" clip developed by Tactical Tailor.
