Have you seen MOLLE panels? Any particular opinion on those?

Seems like there's a huge range of accessories available for them, 24*36" panels available for $35, and a lot of devices could be held on by weaving a buckle strap, screwing on a pocket clip, or even just attaching a zipper pouch.

There's also strap pad eyes that could also be used to run the straps through, for smaller things where you don't want a whole panel. It seems like there should be some kind of system you could build with soft attachments, at least for low cost DIY type stuff.
