The interior side walls of the pack have a series of attaching

webbing that allows you to secure radio pouches, magazine

pouches, or frag pouches.

On both sides at the top, there are two straps, which are ideal

for strobe pouches and other short pouches. Below them are

three straps, which are ideal for taller pouches such as magazine

pouches.

INSTALLING MOLLE PANEL INSERT (SOLD SEPARATELY)

The EXP 2100™ PACK allows the use of the EXP PACK MOLLE INSERT,

which can be connected via six snap attachment points on the

perimeter of the main compartment. For ease of use, attach

pouches to the insert before securing it within the pack.

With pouches already secured to the insert, center the insert on

the back wall of the pack and secure the snaps.

Ensure that all snap straps are tucked behind the pouches.3

14OPERATOR INSTRUCTIONS

You can also use the insert to stabilize your weapon by utilizing the

gear straps included with the insert. Place the weapon at desired

location and position and find corresponding bar on the insert that

the gear strap will attach to.

Peel open VELCRO® tab on the gear strap. Pass long end of the

strap through opening until the opened tab hits the bar and secure

in place.

Note: For a vertical install, be sure that the VELCRO® tab secures toward the

bottom of the frame, otherwise the weight of the item may disengage the tab.

For a horizontal install, the direction of the VELCRO® tab is decided by the

desired way to release the gear strap.

Ensure both ends are free to wrap around the weapon.
