Maxpedition 5-Inch TacTie - Pack Of 4

The floppy nature of these MOLLE straps makes them more difficult to weave into the ladder, but once in place, they'll keep your gear secure and snug. br>I've also tried Condor straps and Blackhawk speed clips, and Maxpedition's offering is the best fit for my needs; the Condors are a little too big - They'll keep the gear in place, but if it's heavy, the slack from the straps will be pulled through the ladder, causing it to flop around. Although the Blackhawks are quick to install and work well on packs, they don't like attaching things to a bag's hip belt or a pants belt because they're both made of hard plastic, which is what I need them to do. br>I'm happy to report that they work after walking somewhere around 25 miles of rocky Pennsylvania trails with two of these holding a DSLR pouch to my backpack hip belt. They were secure and the right length, so my camera stayed in place the entire journey.

The buckle is a little fiddly to thread in, but it's fairly simple to remove. It holds up well, has a low profile, and makes no noise. Customizing to your needs is easy with different sizes and colors. It's a world of difference from the old metal brackets I learned with and the plastic ones I've seen used by the majority of riggers. The metal ones come unfastened when least expected, and the plastic rips at the seams eventually. These will last much longer than your webbing.

Actually, I experimented with securing various items to my 72-hour ruck to see how well they held up. I attached an IFAK, a full-size backpack, to the straps. To my ruck, I added a medium-sized knife scabbard, a camel back pouch with a full bladder, and some bulkier items like a small range bag and an 8x12-inch medic kit. Normally, only a few of these items would be secured with MOLLE-style straps, but this was just a test to see how well they held up. I put them (as well as myself) through a combat obstacle course. I did a lot of crawling, climbing, and other activities in full gear, and everything seemed to hold up pretty well. When attaching something heavy to the ruck with these straps, there should be as little play as possible between the two (no half-empty rucks), because that play can cause the heavier item to move differently than the ruck, and that's where I believe the heavier items will work loose under long-term tough conditions. It does not appear to be an issue for the smaller, lighter items. What a fantastic item!.

I really like these things because they keep your gear firmly attached to your rig's webbing, with very little wiggle on my pdw Carer setup. The draw is extremely safe. Keep in mind that when you use these, they are a PAIN to get off. Speed clips are great for constantly swapping your loadout, but they don't provide the NIGHTMARE situation security that these things provide, such as someone grabbing you and ripping your gear off of you, or it getting snagged in a door to door setup if you're overseas, or raids if you're on the Police Force running S. If you want to secure your setup to whatever, get these if it's going to be a permanent setup; your gear failure rate while on duty will be much lower with these than with the other options. clips at a fast pace When it comes to firepower, it's all about the numbers. mobility. Get both, is my final statement. Drill with speed clips, and have your loadout secured with these when you deploy or are waiting on call. This way, once you find your preferred loadout setup, when you get the red light or are called for a deployment, your gear will be steadfastly secured, but while doing fast response drills or whatever your training requires, you can play around with your gear placement to find sweet spots for your trauma kit, pdw, or whatever else you need.

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to evaluate a tack tie.
1. br>Quality of the maximum expeditionbr>2. 3. They should stay where you put them. br> They're able to support a weight of 4 pounds. br> Like a hot knife through butter, they weave in and out of molly webbing. br>5. They do a fantastic job of lasting. I have a few that are quite old that are still doing their jobbr>6. br>7.

Cons in a straightforward manner. PROS: br>br>

. Your MOLLE system will be secure once they are in place. They are more secure than Speedclips in my opinion.
. The substance appears to be impervious to abrasion. High-quality, weather-resistant material with double stitching.
. The attachment is easily disengaged, allowing you to quickly remove parts of your MOLLE system while keeping the straps attached to the gear.
. Maxpedition manufactures them in a variety of colors to ensure that the MOLLE system appears "seamless. " Just in case you were interested. CONS: br>br>

. Before you attach them, get a pair of needlenose pliers. Later, you'll be grateful to me.
. The initial setup process can be a real pain in the neck. To perfect them, you'll need some finger strength and patience. br> I understand where they were trying to go with the design, but getting the small flap to where it needs to be can be a pain.
. If you remove a piece of your system while traveling, you'll have a hard time re-installing it. securing the situation It's best if you have some time and no one around who hasn't had their ears pierced. br>br>I think Maxpedition should start including a variety of TacTile straps with each pack. Given the high cost of their equipment (which is well worth it), it would be nice if they didn't require an extra $15 or so in order to combine their products.

It does what it says on the tin: it connects your MOLLE gear to your PALS webbing. However, at Maxpedition's prices, these should be included in the package rather than being sold separately. br>br>Made from high-quality materials in Taiwan. They're very nice looking, and the stitching is done properly with nylon thread. It's not easy to put them together, but if you can figure out how to weave them in tightly, your belongings will be less likely to flop around. For your taller pouches or the water bottle holder, you'll need these 5 inch tac ties. The smaller pouches, such as the TacTile pocket and similar, require the 3 inch version.
