MOLLE Utility Vest

Load bearing MOLLE vest for riders who are done digging through panniers at the side of the trail. Radio on one side, first aid on the other, bear spray where you can actually reach it. The webbing runs front and back, so you build it out the way you ride.

Craig wears one every day on the Trans Canada Adventure Trail. The logic is simple. Anything you need in a hurry belongs on your chest, not buried under a tent at the bottom of a dry bag.

What you get

• Full MOLLE webbing front and back, so any standard pouch mounts to it
• Front zip with three adjustable buckle straps
• Adjustable shoulders and waist, cut to go over a riding jacket
• Hook and loop panels for patches
• Two colours, Black and Khaki

What riders run on it

• Handheld radio in a MOLLE holder, mic clipped to the shoulder strap
• Small first aid kit, same side, same spot, every ride
• Bear spray on the chest, reachable with either hand
• Satellite communicator up high where it can see sky
• Phone, snacks, spare gloves, tire plugs

Fit

One size, adjustable at the shoulders and the waist. It is sized to sit over an adventure jacket, so cinch the side straps down if you are running it over a jersey on a hot day. The load rides on your chest and shoulders, not your neck.

Good to know

• Pouches are not included. Run the MOLLE gear you already own
• Works over a base layer or under a hydration pack
• It is not armour. It carries your kit, it does not protect you

Running a handheld? The MOLLE Radio Holder mounts straight to the webbing.
