A MILSPEC Standard For Wearable Technology

Wearable technology has usually involved custom-made garments with just a single embedded function. If you want to wear that function in a different garment, tough. If you want that function without wearing it, you are out of luck. Wouldn't it be nice if there were a standard attachment system with which to attach one piece of wearable kit to another to build your own customizable dream kit?

The wearable standard exists and it's called PALS. The Military put a lot of battlefield testing into developing it for us. PALS is basically a grid of 1" webbing in 1.5" loops with which you attach one item to another using quick-detachable flexible plastic MALICE clips.
