I like (these)[https://www.amazon.com/Maxpedition-Grimloc-4-Pack-Black-MXGRML-BK/dp/B001LX8DYK] .. they attach to the molle in the inside and work like a carabiner... during events I like to use (THIS)[https://shaddoxtactical.com/shop?olsFocus=false&olsPage=products/padded-weight-plate-pocket-regular] to secure my ruck plate .. and it has molle to attach the first item as well
