Tired of having those pouches get in the way when you're trying to climb, roll, crawl, or move stealthily?
If these aren't problems you run into op after op, then get the fuck out, this thread isn't for you.
For the rest of us who have gear stowage problems, allow me to introduce you to the universal answer:
The drop leg platform.

The platform is essentially just like the name implies - it's a modular platform that is worn on the upper thigh, completely covered with molle webbing. The webbing allows you to attach hundreds of different sheaths, holsters, and pouches to the platform however you choose. The only limitation is the amount of webbing you have to work with, and how much is needed for your accessories. In the above picture, you can see how he's attached three large pouches to his platform, evenly spaced apart. Obviously not the best configuration for opping, but easily modified to become the perfect gear carrying device. instead of three large pouches, picture something along the lines of: a sheathed opping knife where the first pouch is, a small flashlight pouch and multitool pouch side by side in place of that middle one, and maybe some lockpicks, a first aid kit, or even an extendable baton in place of the third one. There are literally molle compatible pouches and sheaths for just about any type of gear you would want to bring on an op, and attaching a new pouch, or removing an old one from your molle straps takes literally seconds.
If you're fed up with having your gear sliding around on your belt between belt loops, or getting in the way while you're doing a parkour roll, or low crawl, then the drop leg platform is something you should seriously consider. I'll update this with some pictures of mine carrying my standard opping load sooner or later, but until then there are plenty of videos online showing how the pouches are attached, and examples of different loadouts people prefer to use.
