We originally created Retainers as a solution for keeping a headlamp in place on a plate carrier. What they've turned into is a simple, effective way to retain just about anything on your kit. Some of the common use cases we've seen include retaining: Headlamps Push To Talks (PTTs) Flags Chem Lights Tourniquets Antennas Retainers are threaded through a MOLLE/PALS row and then the ends are looped over anything you want to secure. The shock cord in Retainers is a continuous loop meaning the sides are adjustable to fit around any object. We've also constructed the Retainer body from Squadron® laminate, which is extremely durable and will not wear out from extended use.
