i have used both
but old habits die hard.
What kind of PALS/MOLLE based kti did you use and for how long?
I used LC2/ALICE gear for 3 years in Search and Rescue when I was a teenager.
I used LC2/ALICE gear for 9 months in Basic and AIT.
I was issued an ELBV and ALICE pack in my Guard unit.
I only wear my MOLLE kit to play airsoft in, and I can tell you that, in the short time I have used it, I can tell it is far superior!
Issue MOLLE gear is not the best.
One point I would like to make is that it's not the style of LBE I dislike, it's simply how the pouches attach. I'm actually quite fond of the suspenders-and-belt kit, as I mentioned above. I found myself re-arranging my kit alot for SAR, and the ALICE system was a giant PITA. PALS kit is not easier to arrange, but it's very easy to calculate EXACTLY how mch kit you can carry, and where you can carry it on your rig. With ALICE/LC I wasn't able to customize my kit enough. It is more customizeable than an ELBV, but I'll take PALS over it any day.
That said, I respect you for using that kit for a reason. If you have indeed given PALS a chance in different environments, and still like LC then it works for you and you should continue to use it. I do not think buying a new kit because it's the newest and latest is ever a good idea if you continue to use it even after you find it may not be the best for your style.
