Have you ever wanted to place a MOLLE pouch horizontally but the webbing would only allow the pouch to mounted vertically? This problem is common enough that several gear makers have panels that can convert vertical MOLLE webbing to horizontal or vice versa. Granite Gear has a different solution.
Most solutions for mounting pouches horizontally require a panel that is attached to the bag, chest rig, plate carrier, etc. and then the pouch is attached to the panel. This approach works but it can add quite a bit of weight and you are limited by the size of the panel.
Granite Gear’s MOLLE Converters are far simpler. They make tabs that can be threaded into the MOLLE which turns the space between the rows into columns for horizontal mounting. It sounds a lot more complicated than it is. The picture should make it clear just how simple of a solution this is. It is far lighter than any panel type solution and it is completely scalable to any size pouch – just install as many converters as you need for your specific pouch.
This is so simple that it seems strange that I have never seen anything like this from someone else. Check out the MOLLE Converters on the Granite Gear website.
That’s so simple and awesome… why didn’t I think of it?
