A few months ago Matt began entertaining the idea of creating a new line of our MOLLE Tech Plates, with the specific objective of securing smaller, lighter-duty gear. Whether that's your EDC (every day carry), the essentials in your glovebox or the items you use most in your office or shop, this modular tool is a blank canvas for you to add more practical organization to your life!
Like many spacers and components in our existing kits, the panel is made of a glass fiber-reinforced nylon composite, which is shockingly lightweight and rugged. This is the first of many sizes in this product line, and the panel measures 5.25 x 7 inches, making it the perfect size for many applications - most being too light-duty and casual to put our steel line of Universal MOLLE Tech Plates to use. Those rigid steel tech plates are ideal for mounting heavier, bulkier gear and equipment wherever needed, but outside our five different sizes of them, we've seen a bunch of opportunities for a smaller, lightweight and transportable Composite MOLLE Tech Plate. Compatible with small-diameter shock cord and up to 1" velcro or nylon strapping, there are countless possibilities when it comes to securing your gear.
We're no strangers to the term EDC - no, not the festival of concussive bass music and drugs - your every day carry. The essential items you keep on your person day-in and day-out that you don't leave the house without for some reason... This could range from your wallet, phone and keys to your wallet, phone, keys, multi-tool, pens, radio, sidearm, extra magazine and lip balm... who knows. What you keep on you is YOUR business, and how you keep it organized throughout the day is what we do best. Whether tossing essentials in a backpack, briefcase, gym bag or truck for the day, we look at this new Composite MOLLE Panel as a headquarters for your most important light-duty gear.
In this Composite MOLLE Panel kit we are including a hardware kit with composite MOLLE nuts and standoff spacers so you can mount the panel to a rigid surface and still have space behind it to secure items. The hardware kit is also injection-molded and comes on the sprue, partially to keep things easy and organized on our end, but mostly for a fun, interactive feel (remember when we were kids running around with cap guns breaking off rounds?)
We will most likely offer more composite hardware kit options in the near future, opening up even more modular mounting opportunities with this system. We can't wait to see how you guys use them!
We're SO excited to get the Composite MOLLE Panels out there and see how they're put to work, we've set 100 of these panel kits aside for anyone who comments, emails or reaches out with unique or creative ideas on how they plan on using their Composite MOLLE Panels. Reach out and let us know to possibly receive a FREE Panel!

I was looking for a way to add a small MOLLE plate to the lower center console of my 2023 Super Duty to secure a mic for my already-mounted ham radio. I used other BuiltRight products for the initial ham radio installation, and these Composite MOLLE Panels will complement that installation. Of course, many other items will eventually mount on the Composite MOLLE Panels, such as a Safariland Quick Locking System holster mount, high-powered rocketry tracking devices, etc. Well done!
The center console area in front of the cupholders on my ’24 Silverado HD would be a great place to install one of these, allowing items to be secured and prevent movement/vibration/annoying sounds during transport.
Loving all these ideas, everyone! Keep em coming!
Create a lightweight mounting frame for seatback. Use these panels as modular components that can be swapped out. I have a 2024 Trailhunter, very modified, that I use exclusively for Search & Rescue. Have been patiently awaiting a seatback molle panel to mount an internal fire extinguisher and some other smaller gear – still need to use the back seat for team transport.
Your new composite Molle racks will open a lot of interest in the Adventure Bike World. Will be watching for some additional sizes in the future.
