MOLLE Buttpack vs IIFS Training Field Pack | What's The Difference?

The MOLLE buttpack and the IIFS training field pack look quite the same, don't they? Well here I show what the difference is.

Corrections:
The Training pack has a woodland camo collar rather than a solid color, but I think that's quite obvious.

The "Odd" adjustment straps on the buttpacks are for when attaching it to a LBV-88, those straps are used to hold the buttpack up better.

The weird thing is neither one are compatible with molle.

[@3inTrooper]

Yeah, its very limited what can be done with the buttpack. It compatible in the same way the radio pouch is, where there is one or two designated spots and nowhere else. Only way to get more compatibility is by getting creative like adding slide keepers or cord to keep it in place.

@@3inTrooper yeah, i got the molle -alice adapters and just used alice clips. So much for moving forward 🤣

[@3inTrooper]

For real tho lol

Gotta remember, MOLLE is a full system that uses PALS webbing in part. PALS is what most people refer to as MOLLE, but it isn't. The MOLLE Rifleman Pack (original MOLLE pack) used a combination of PALS and slide lock compatible webbing for accessory attachment. I think the MOLLE Buttpack was just a stopgap until they could finish designing MOLLE. Notice that the MOLLE v1 magazine and grenade pouches were lifted straight off the IIFS vest as well, not just the field pack.

@@voraciousblackstn wasnt there a very proprietary belt for that buttpack that had like a hard plastic backing that also had a portion where the molle ruck frame clicked into?

[@josephdixon1827]

Both were in the supply system, both are the same type of buttpack, but by two different contractors I suspect.

Camo pattern is different

[@3inTrooper]

The colors tend to vary during the use of woodland. The IIFS one in the video has a different color top than the rest of it.

The MOLLE Butt Pack 1997 contract is made from 1000d Cordura Nylon, the Field Pack, Training, is made from 500d Cordura Nylon with some earlier made from Woodland Camo printed 420d Pack Cloth.
