Designed by Buzzworks and manufactured by Platatac, the Multi-Rig offers a 30% weight reduction over traditional MOLLE-based paid carriage systems.

Zipper, SR buckle, and Tubes modules can be inserted to create a split front or side opening rig. QASM buckles can also be incorporated into the modules.

Since there is no redundant material like that found in traditional MOLLE systems, there is a significant weight reduction.
