I just met with Velocity Systems in here Virginia Beach at 1st Annual Beach Blast and they showed me an example of their licensed Helium Whisper pouches. Here can see a traditional MOLLE construction utility pouch compared to a Velocity Systems design incorporating Helium Whisper backer construction along with their design philosophy and material selection.
The traditional construction pouch weighs .43 lbs.
The Velocity Systems design incorporating their features as well as Helium Whisper literally weighs half as much at .215 lbs.
These products as well as the new Velocity Utility Belt (seen on Gear Scout) will be available through Velocity Systems and Mayflower Research & Consulting’s redesigned ecommerce site in about 45 days.

realy nice concept… but it would apear that the tradition pouch is 500 or 1000 D cordura with 4 straps and the Velocity pouch looks like a polycotton ripstop with 2 traps… It looks like a very promising system but apples to apples…
It’s actually Duro LiteLok. The article is actually clear about this being different than a standard MOLLE pouch. In fact, that’s the point.
