MOLLE Sleep System carrier...

[The Big Lebowski]

Could any of you gents (or ladies!) kindly point me in the direction of someone in the UK that stock the MOLLE Sleep System Carrier (SSC)/Woodland.

I can only find stateside stockists, but i've no doubt surplus stores over here would sell them.

Cheers, TBL.

I've only seen these on ebay and they come from the States. Nolightweight just sold me his, I won't tell you what I paid as it would just be rude!:tongue-ti I know this isn't helpful but I don't think they're something you see very often over here. If I do I'll let you know though!

I'm guessing you got a bargain

Cheers for keeping an eye out... i've just bought a molle backpack that i like very much, the SSC would make a good edition and allow me to roll my bag in bivi and sling it under the pack.

Have you had the chance to use it yet? they look simple- but decent bits of kit as far as pouches go.

Regards, TBL.

Surplus and outdoors, On there site they have it as part of a full pack (out of stock tho) but give them a ring you could get lucky.

They work pretty well. Used mine a couple of times and it can certainly swallow sleeping kit ie doss bag and bivi, and a bit more besides.

No not had a chance as I won't be collecting it until November when I see Neil next. I'm kind of interested in a molle pack now to be honest, where did you get yours and was it dear?

Not really... it was a clone of the camelbak motherlode 40ltr, one large outer pouch i use for sharps, FA kit ect,
one smaller outer pouch that takes a brew kit perfectly (1.1 litre ti potset) and one large compartment in the main section... also an internal sleve for a hydration pouch.

hammock, tarp ect are secured with sidestraps.

similar (near identical) to this, but £110 cheaper! (around £45 posted) same spec, material ect. carry's everything i need although i do like minimal/light kit.

Word of caution. That's not a modular sleep system carrier.

Looks like a woodland camo version of the old OD butt pack which is a lot smaller than the MSS carrier.

Hope that helps...

Just noticed that too, but it may still be just the job! i really only need space to fit a down bag fairly compressed with a bivi over it.
with the bag out the main compartment, i would have some space again but i'll have to think about it!

Grateful for pointing that out

Regards, TBL.

I could probably pick you one up from my friend who deals in us militaria..im sure i saw one the last time i was over his....in woodland camo it was.

And those training packs are tiny btw.

 

[The Big Lebowski]

Ahhh... difficult to judge from piccy.

If you are passing and dont mind asking/seeing if your mate has one i would be grateful, Regards, TBL.

P.s do they have any type of compression system? or is it just the two straps...
