Airsoft MOLLE Tactical Vests
A more advanced and adjustable airsoft vest is the tactical MOLLE airsoft vest design. These modular vests permit each pouch to be relocated and positioned independently based upon the particular setup airsoft participants and tactical operators need. The MOLLE webbing employs a hook and loop strap system which enables weapon magazine pouches, radio pouches, medical IAK pouches, communications pouches, and weapon holsters to be installed anywhere on the vest where the MOLLE panels are found. The resulting numerous different mixes, positions, and orientations empower tactical operators to choose the customized MOLLE pouch set up for the specific role they are playing (like breacher, grenadier, SAW gunner, etc) or mission they are running.

These airsoft knock-off vests and pouches run a fraction of the prices of the real equipment used by militaries, Special Forces (like Rangers, Naval Special Warfare Development ‘Dev Group’, and MARSOC) and other unique ops teams.
How MOLLE Accessories Work
The MOLLE system is an acronym that means Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment. This tactical equipment system explains pouches, panels, and straps which use MOLLE attachments. The three parts of the system are MOLLE pouches, straps, and panels which are put together to develop the MOLLE airsoft loadout. MOLLE panels are the base located on airsoft vests. They include a series of loops that are woven and snapped to hold pouches to the best with straps. The MOLLE straps are usually made from nylon with a button snap and are threaded through the MOLLE panel loops and the similarly designed loops on pouches. The MOLLE pouches have a MOLLE loop panel on the back of the pouch which enables straps to be nicely connected to MOLLE panel loops.
Putting Your Kit Together
The whole MOLLE system comes together as operators pick the pouches they require for an airsoft vest loadout or objective, weave the MOLLE straps through the loops on the pouches and vest panels, and secure the snaps on the straps to keep the pouches in place. The end result is an incredibly customized airsoft vest with the style and feel of operator status.

This makes it simple to handle and change MOLLE pouches between vest plate carriers and standard MOLLE vests These tactical vests have internal pouches to hold real or reproduction ballistic level III3A plates or rifle plates. Special operations fireteams in the military and law enforcement SWAT units will often use these sort of tactical plate carriers for added defense when facing the possibility of real bullets.
