Title: MOLLE vest, what do you think?
Post by: drew23 on March 08, 2015, 12:27:09 PM
Alright I finally put together some MOLLE stuff to make my own vest. I like it because everything can be placed where I want it and can be as much (too much) or as little as I want.

Going to swap snaps out for magnets or buckles for easier use and silence.

Still need a cushion or a gobbler lounger type chair.

Most of this stuff can be bought at Military Surplus stores or online. I used the following;

Fighting Load Carrier Zip. version(vest)
Canteen/All purp. (canteen, gloves, misc)
MBITR radio pouch. (Box calls)
Grenade Pouch (pot call, mouth calls, misc)
Condor Tact. Admin pouch (strikers)

The cost was as follows:

Vest (Fighting Load carrier) $15 (eBay) Bought with Radio pouches for $15 extra.
Grenade pouches               $12 per dozen (eBay) BIN
Radio Pouch                      $10 for 2 (eBay) $2 each $6 shipping, won auction.
Canteen/AP pouch              $10 for 2 (craigslist)**
Canteen                            $5 (craigslist)**

** Bought as a lot split with my brother-in-law. Averaged out to those prices.

The admin (striker pouch)    Decided I didn't like it so price not included.

Less than $50 as is. And actually have a few grenade pouches left.
