Eberlestock RECON Additional MOLLE Panel — Dry Earth

The RECON additional MOLLE panel is a compact expansion designed by Eberlestock to increase the usable surface area of a compatible plate carrier or chest rig. It measures 15.24x8.25 cm and attaches via hook-and-loop velcro: the loop side is integrated into the panel, the hook side is on the receiving carrier. Designed for the Eberlestock RECON system, the layout is universal and works with any carrier that exposes enough loop surface — it's worth checking velcro type compatibility before purchasing for use with a different brand's system.

The outer surface is fully covered with MOLLE webbing in durable material, allowing you to mount magazine pouches, medical kits, holsters, or any accessory with a standard MOLLE attachment. Unlike a fixed panel sewn onto a carrier, this one adds and removes without tools: useful when you want to reconfigure your setup between missions without stripping all the gear already distributed across the main carrier.

The trade-off to consider is the velcro attachment system: it provides fast and silent mounting, but under heavy loads or with prolonged use it may offer less lateral stability than a panel secured with woven MOLLE straps. For lightweight pouches and frequently accessed accessories, velcro is a practical solution; for heavier loads or demanding operational environments, it's worth checking whether the carrier offers additional mechanical fixing options.

Key points

• External MOLLE surface of 15.24x8.25 cm, adding mounting positions without replacing the existing carrier.
• Removable hook-and-loop velcro attachment in seconds, no tools required, for fast setup reconfiguration.
• Compatible with any carrier that has a loop surface — not limited to the Eberlestock RECON system alone.
• Built in robust tactical material for extended field use.
• Velcro attachment suited to light and medium loads: verify carrier compatibility before purchasing for use outside the RECON family.
