How To Wear A MOLLE Tactical Vest

There are various methods by which you can transport and access the items necessary for daily life, yet keeping them organized and easily accessible are vital in order to use them at any moment in time.

MOLLE tactical vests offer one of the best solutions for keeping all of your equipment accessible and organized, so we will discuss how best to wear and organize one in this article.

A tactical vest is a military-grade vest designed to provide additional protection and secure your gear during skirmishes. With multiple pockets built into its construction, tactical vests make your equipment much more easily accessible than it would be with backpacks or duffle bags.

There are various products labeled tactical vests on the market, but MOLLE tactical vest is by far the most versatile of them all.

MOLLE vests feature webbing that allows users to attach whatever pouches they require from MOLLE onto them as needed and wherever desired on the vest.

MOLLE tactical vests allow for complete customization that cannot be found with other types of tactical vests.

MOLLE products stand out as industry leaders due to their adaptability, making the MOLLE Vest an outstanding value-for-money purchase for our customers.

Given its highly customizable nature, and being tailored exactly to you, it can be difficult to pinpoint how a MOLLE tactical vest should be worn. Our advice: do whatever works for you!

There are various configurations you could choose for your skirmish or team game depending on your goals or role in each scenario, with each choice ultimately falling to you and only you dictating where your pockets and pouches go.

However, there are a few essential setup guidelines that can show you how to effectively set up and wear your MOLLE tactical vest.

As previously discussed, setting up a MOLLE tactical vest can depend heavily on personal preference; however, for newcomers this task can be intimidating and potentially confusing.

To assist you in taking the first steps towards reaching your goals or fulfilling a role within a team, we have created several best practice setups based on your specific objectives or roles within it.

Most Important Carry

A MOLLE tactical vest should start by being configured according to its most essential carry, which entails organizing your load into three categories based on frequency of usage: frequently required items, occasionally necessary, and may be needed (the exact contents will depend on your situation). This initial setup principle remains true regardless of your chosen situation: keep in mind the basic principle when setting up.

Skirmishing requires many specific items for success. These could include magazines, pistol holsters, battery packs and flashlights depending on where and when it takes place.

There are also certain items you will only use occasionally, like multi-tools and grenades. Finally, there may be items necessary during skirmishes that you shouldn't leave home without; these might include first aid kits and glow sticks.

Once your gear has been divided into these three categories, it becomes much simpler to arrange pouches and pockets as per the specific situation in which you will be operating. As this general approach to setting up your vest can serve as a guide, use this outline as a starting point when customizing any setup that suits you best.

Disaster Mode

If your role within your team involves being prepared for worst-case scenarios or serving as the medic of the group, disaster mode setup could be ideal. When creating this plan, make sure your vest contains several basic items for effective disaster mitigation.

One of the essential items in any disaster mode setup is a first aid kit; whether ready-made or homegrown is up to you. Water should also be included for optimal results in any scenario.

MOLLE water pouches provide an easy way to carry enough water for yourself and some members of your team, although it would be wiser for everyone in your team to have access to their own source of drinking water.

These are the cornerstones of an effective disaster mode setup on a MOLLE vest, and other equipment should be built around this.

SHTF (Stuff Hits The Fan)

An SHTF setup using your MOLLE tactical vest ensures that you are prepared for every possible scenario that might arise, no matter what may arise.

As part of your setup, it is necessary to include an assortment of pouches. As there will be multiple, positioning these can become more challenging.

An effective strategy for equipping your MOLLE vest for SHTF scenarios is to keep it lightweight, focus on being fully-armed, include a first aid kit and even incorporate a knife sheath.

Make sure that you bring along some empty MOLLE pouches designed to collect items you find along the way.

As this survival setup is very personal, you may wish to add or omit certain items mentioned here.

How you set up and wear your MOLLE tactical vest is entirely dependent upon your personal preference; only you know exactly how yours should be set up! However, here are a few basic guidelines to help determine your ideal configuration.

Experimentation will help you optimize the experience with your vest.
