What is MOLLE?

MOLLE is the grid of webbing rows you see on tactical packs, plate carriers, and range bags. A MOLLE clip weaves through that webbing to lock your gear in place.

How to mount a sheath

Swap your sheath's belt clip for a MOLLE clip, then weave it down through the webbing rows and snap it closed. It holds firm and is easy to reposition when you want to move it.

What you can mount

Most of our kydex sheaths accept a MOLLE clip, so you can move a Leatherman or Gerber sheath from belt to pack in seconds. See our sheath guide for fitment.
