Features
-
Large MOLLE II Shoulder Straps (Enhanced)
- Weight: Approximately 1.5 to 1.8 lbs for the pair. The added weight is due to the thicker, high-density closed-cell foam and the wider, "butterfly" yolk designed for heavy-duty support.
- Padding Width: Features a wider profile, often 3 to 4 inches across the shoulder area, to prevent "digging" under loads exceeding 100 lbs.
- Overall Length: Approximately 20 to 22 inches from the top frame attachment to the bottom quick-release buckle, allowing for a broader adjustment range on the larger U-shaped frame.
-
Medium MOLLE II Shoulder Straps
- Weight: Approximately 1.0 to 1.2 lbs for the pair. These are notably lighter and less bulky to accommodate the 60 lb max load rating of the medium system.
- Padding Width: Features a more tapered, streamlined profile, typically around 2.5 to 3 inches wide, prioritizing arm mobility and weapon shouldering.
- Overall Length: Slightly shorter, around 18 to 20 inches, designed to integrate tightly with the smaller molded polymer frame used for 24–72 hour missions.
