Speed Clips are made of a modern carbon-fiber polymer material that is strong,
flexible and durable. These are the most versatile new pieces of MOLLE hardware
available. Developed by BlackHawk's R&D staff, these clips quickly mount or
disconnect pouches and other gear quickly and efficiently - no more tedious weaving
of bulky straps or hesitation at rearranging your kit for better ergonomics. These
clips make that task easy. Tested in combat, they have proven to be both reliable
and secure.
- Speed clips DO NOT RUST!
- Contain an accessory lanyard hole
- Free floating for use with other accessories, unlike attached MOLLE straps
- Just like the name, they are FAST!
- Color matched to your gear
- Come in 3", 5", 7" and 9" lengths to accomodate any size pouches
- Can be used with all of our new 38-series pouches
- Can be used with any existing MOLLE pouches (simply cut the strap off or tuck it behind the Speed Clip)
- Can be used in other innovative ways to enhance your personal setup

How the Speed Clip works:
- Place the pouch so its webbing aligns with spaces between the webbing on the platform
- Insert the Speed Clip under the webbing of the platform, alternately weaving it between the platform and the pouch
- Secure the end of the Speed Clip by hooking its tab onto the last section of webbing
