BLACKHAWK Speed Clips (6-Pack #9)

Easy use and very simple yet effective. Quick removal or detaching pouch using speed clips is difficult. Should have gone with malice clips for my application, however for permanent securing pouches etc. It's a great product. Pouches are sturdy and clips create a reliable system. Would buy again for different applications.

Really convenient. Works really well with Molle pouches that do not have theor own integral straps. Before, modular pouches were not really modular because of the hassle of attaching and detaching. These clips mak things easier. You need multiple clips of different lengths because they are not adjustable

STRONG and will hold anything tightly in place. But as you know you can easily remove the clips and whatever you had hooked to the pouch or bag is now free. I have used BLACKHAWK clips for years and I have never had one break. I would suggest this brand over the other brands out there.

IN SHORT: I purchased these to use with my BLACKHAWK! Lightweight Phoenix Pack and found these to be good at attaching pouches to it, though sadly, still not as good as the integrated straps that most pouches come with. The reason for it not being that great, is the tolerances. The clips attach pretty well, but not as tightly as I would have hoped. The two curves that come up and overlap the MOLLE of the host item are loose enough that on an item that flexes slightly, such as my BLACKHAWK! Lightweight Phoenix Pack, the clips can come loose (not completely, but pouches may become floppy). With that being said, when used in numbers, they do work well to keep your backpack more rigid for a more notable level of comfort, as I have found with my BLACKHAWK! Lightweight Phoenix Pack. (I love this backpack if you can't tell.) And in numbers, they also don't come loose. As they are so light, I suggest just stocking up on them and whatever surface you use them on, go all the way across with them to disallow movement of looser fabrics.PROS:Extremely LightweightQuite DurableMakes my backpack more rigidCONS:If used more sparingly, they may come looseRECOMMEND: Yes, as long as you use them in number

Speed clips are such a bad name for these things. They are cool. They secure most pouches really well - much better than the pouches with the button straps sewn to them. But they are a real pain in the butt to use. You're not going to be changing pouches around in the field. You can before you run a mission so long as you have 20 minutes before hand to screw around with your vest and pouches to get them all mounted properly. Speed clips they are not. Secure clips, absolutely. Also be sure to buy every different size because they sizes they send with the various pouches are never the best sizes to use for those items.

Used to secure Condor Outdoor LCS Tidepool bladder carrier to the back of my Banshee Shellback plate carrier. It's perfect for that purpose, and I can't see imagine problem for anyone who selects the right size.

I've used several methods to attach MOLLE items to bags or other MOLLE items. I've used the straps that come on the 5.11 gear, I've used the Maxpedition Tac-Ties that you have to PURCHASE to go with their products. Blackhawk speed clips are absolutely the fastest and easiest way to attach MOLLE gear! For those that don't know the "TRICK" to these straps... I'll help you out. 1) Get about a 3 foot piece of cord. 2) run it through the hole in the end of the speed clip and tie a knot. 3) Lace it through your MOLLE straps so that the hole will be on the BOTTOM when you pull it through. 4) Slowly pull the stick through the loops, and you're done! The reason you want the hole on the bottom side is so that now you can tie additional things to it or clip a carabiener to it as additional attachment points.

These things are great, I use them all over my packs, bags, and pouches. Absolutely no issues getting them installed and zero issues pulling them out so I can relocate a pouch in another location or even on a different bag. Just be aware that they are made of a REALLY sturdy polymer so don't expect a lot of flexibility. Use them to mount mag pouches, etc... but NOT in areas where you are going to need flexibility... like certain areas on a molle vest. Absolutely fantastic on backpacks, thigh mounts, on plate carriers, SOME areas of molle vests, etc... just remember their limitations.
