Woodland M81 Molle ii Shoulder Straps
The Woodland MOLLE II shoulder straps were designed for the MOLLE II large rucksack and polymer frame system. Key features include:
- Thick closed-cell foam padding to distribute heavy loads across the shoulders and reduce fatigue during long movements.
- Adjustable shoulder harness that accommodates different torso lengths and body sizes.
- Integrated sternum strap to keep the shoulder straps from spreading apart and improve load stability.
- Quick-release buckles at the lower ends, allowing the rucksack to be dropped rapidly in emergencies.
- Load-lifter attachment points at the top of the straps to help pull the rucksack closer to the body for better weight distribution.
- Designed to mount directly to MOLLE II polymer frames, including both woodland-era black frames and later coyote-tan frames.
- Compatible with some ALICE pack modification projects ("Hellcat" style setups), making them popular among surplus users looking for improved comfort over older LC-1/LC-2 straps.
Compared to older ALICE shoulder straps, MOLLE II shoulder straps are generally considered significantly more comfortable due to their thicker padding, sternum strap, and improved adjustment system.
