Molle gear vs Old Y or H harness with belt and ruck gear.

[Abbott Shaull]

Okay, I have a question for some of the people who have been in the US military recently. When I was in the military MOLLE gear was still in testing. I know what I have read about the early version that were in testing, it was suppose to be superior to the old Y and H harness and belt set up. With the use of vest to disperse equipment, what I have seen of the various type of vest out there in the media looks as the ammo pouches are smaller and more disperse than the old ones that held 3 M-16 clips.

Also with this new system the old ruck and large ruck were suppose to be replace with new packs. With the old set up you had one large pack as well as butt-pack. With the new system the large pack was suppose to have main pack, and smaller detachable pack as well allow to keep the butt-pack.

Just wonder primarily about the packs and other details. If you don't want to post on the board, the feel free to use the email.

Thanks in advance.
