Reliability and the possibility of adapting the equipment to different missions are primary needs: for this purpose we have developed this range of panels which allow the correct organization of the material to be transported. The patented 8-LOCK technology , which takes its name from the particular "eight" shape of the holes, allows you to lock the elastic cord once the buttonhole of the desired length has been created: thanks to this simple solution the cord will no longer be free slide into the holes, thus creating independent slots, which will not lose their retention force when the material is removed. The panel is equipped with a Velcro hook to be installed inside backpacks, bags, pockets and chest rigs that have a Velcro loop surface. Available in 9 and 4 inch sizes.
Includes:
1 x 8-LOCK Panel
1 x 0.8m bungee cord
MODULARITY VS RELIABILITY
The current panels offered on the market, very popular in the tactical world, present a serious problem linked to use: by removing the material from the panel, the slots lose their retention force because the cord is free to slide in the holes, with the consequent risk of losing the remaining material. We worked hard to find a solution until we achieved the patent called 8-LOCK. Thanks to the particular "eight" shape of the holes it is possible to lock the cord in position, without the aid of hardware or knots, thus creating independent loops.
KISS (Keep it simple, Stupid)
The operation of the 8-LOCK system is very simple and does not require any tools to be configured:
1 - Pass the elastic cord through the large portion of the hole (A).
2- Adjust the size of the loop based on the object to be secured and the desired retention force.
3- Pull the elastic cord towards the small portion of the hole (B). You will hear a “clack” and the lanyard will be locked.
4- You can continue to create other buttonholes following the same procedure. It will be possible to return the panel to its original state by retracing the procedure in reverse.
ADAPTABILITY
The EDC-Utility 9 has a single row of holes: for this reason it is recommended for storing small objects such as pens, torches, batteries, knives, medical bottles etc. etc. that do not need to be constrained on multiple points. If you prefer to have two constraint points see MAG-Utility 4 or MAG-Utility 9.
