The Arbor Arms Gen2 MOLLE Placard features their Frill Attachment System which allows you to attach your cummerbund buckles directly to the placard to improve the stability and security of your gear. The FAS allows you to attach the buckle regardless if it is a FirstSpear Tubes Buckle,TikTak, or Side Release Buckle (SRB).
This Placard option is perfect if you need a specific pouch configuration that is not available in a fixed version. With the Gen2 MOLLE Placard you can tailor the load-out to your specific needs. The Frill Attachment System will also give you the ability to integrate a NEW capability that will be available from Arbor Arms very soon.
Finally some places using G-hooks on placards. Especially when also using hook and loop, having those vertical SRBs is way more bulky than things need to be.
