Genuine British Army MTP MOLLE Hip Pad
Used Grade A
The British Army MTP MOLLE Hip Pad is a core component of the current issue load-carrying system, designed to provide enhanced comfort and stability when carrying heavy tactical equipment. This "Hippo Pad" acts as a cushioned interface between the soldier’s waist and the webbing belt, significantly reducing chafing and pressure points during long-range patrols or tabbing. Constructed from heavy-duty 1000D Cordura in the official Multi-Terrain Pattern (MTP), it features multiple rows of PALS webbing, allowing for the modular attachment of any MOLLE-compatible pouches. This is a professional-grade load-bearing accessory designed to distribute weight evenly across the hips, improving endurance and mobility in the field.
Tactical Specification & Comfort
-
Ergonomic Padding: Thick, high-density foam internal padding provides a cushioned barrier, protecting the lumbar and hip areas from the weight of loaded pouches.
-
MOLLE/PALS Compatible: Features three rows of heavy-duty webbing loops across the exterior, allowing for the custom configuration of ammunition, utility, and medical pouches.
-
1000D Cordura Construction: Manufactured from genuine, infrared reflective (IRR) material for maximum abrasion resistance and durability in harsh environments.
-
Breathable Mesh Lining: The inner face is lined with a moisture-wicking spacer mesh to promote airflow and reduce sweat buildup during high-exertion tasks.
-
Standard Belt Integration: Designed with internal loops to accommodate a standard 50mm (2-inch) PLCE or tactical webbing belt.
-
Stability Points: Includes multiple D-ring attachment points along the top edge for the secure integration of 4-point or 6-point yoke systems.
Realistic Use Cases
This hip pad is a practical upgrade for anyone requiring a customisable belt rig, including forestry workers, estate managers, and site surveyors who need to carry tools and equipment hands-free. Its ergonomic design also makes it a preferred choice for airsoft players, hikers, and outdoor photographers who require a stable platform for heavy gear that won't cause discomfort over long distances.
Condition & Authenticity Note
This item is Grade A used genuine military surplus. It has been previously issued to British Army personnel but remains in excellent, fully serviceable condition. As is standard with wholesale surplus UK equipment, you may find minor signs of field use, such as light fading of the MTP pattern or names written on the internal labels. However, all MOLLE loops, stitching, and D-rings are 100% intact and functional. This is a legitimate piece of service-issue kit, manufactured to Ministry of Defence specifications.
