Magazine Pouches
The Alias Horizontal MOLLE Adapter makes it easy to attach pistol and rifle magazines horizontally on your MOLLE-compatible belt or panel, offering rapid access when needed.

Tourniquet Attachment
Attaching a tourniquet horizontally using the Alias Horizontal MOLLE Adapter provides quick, easy access during emergencies.
The horizontal positioning keeps the tourniquet secure while reducing bulk, so it doesn’t interfere with other gear. This setup is particularly useful in high-movement scenarios, keeping the tourniquet firmly in place while allowing quick retrieval.

Advantages of the Horizontal MOLLE Setup
The Alias Horizontal MOLLE Adapter offers several benefits that make it a valuable addition to any gear setup. Here’s how it can improve your carry experience.
Accessibility and Convenience
By positioning your gear horizontally, the Adapter allows for a smoother, more intuitive reach. This gives you access to your magazines, tourniquet, or tools with minimal effort.
Additionally, this setup keeps your belt or panel organized and streamlined, helping you avoid clutter or interference with other gear.
Better Ergonomics
One of the key benefits of the Alias Horizontal MOLLE Adapter is its cant adjustment feature, allowing you to angle your gear up to 35 degrees for improved comfort.
This customization is especially beneficial during dynamic movements since it lets you align your gear with your natural reach and draw motion. Whether on the range or in the field, the ability to fine-tune the angle can significantly reduce strain and improve your overall control.
Is the cant adjustment necessary?
Adjusting the cant is optional but highly recommended. It lets you angle your gear for a more comfortable, ergonomic setup that aligns with your natural movement.
The cant adjustment can make accessing your items quicker and easier, especially in high-stress situations.
Security and Stability
The Alias Horizontal MOLLE Adapter’s secure design keeps magazines, tourniquets, or utility pouches firmly in place. This stability is especially valuable for tactical or emergency settings, where maintaining control over your gear is vital.
Are there any tips for securing the adapter?
To keep your setup as stable as possible, apply Loctite Blue to the screws during installation. This will help prevent loosening over time, especially in high-motion activities.
