Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Fast MOLLE component attach and switchout
Cons:

I first came across these at Shotshow 2007 and noticed they were finally on sale towards the end of 2007. I decided to get a couple of diferent sizes and see how well they worked out. I bought the 3 width and 5 width sizes, since they work with most of my gear. These clips come in 3,5,7 and 9 width sizes, in colors; Black, Coyote Tan, Olive Drab and Foliage Green.

Speed Clips are made of a modern carbon-fiber polymer material that is strong, flexible and durable. These are the most versatile new pieces of MOLLE hardware available. Developed by BlackHawk's R&D staff, these clips quickly mount or disconnect pouches and other gear quickly and efficiently - no more tedious weaving of bulky straps or hesitation at rearranging your kit for better ergonomics. These clips make that task easy. Tested in combat, they have proven to be both reliable and secure.

Just like the name, they are FAST!

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Strong, better than MALICE clips
Cons:	Expensive, another part to have to buy, not all that innovative

I'm not the hugest fan of SPEED clips because to me they don't serve a real purpose that wasn't already handles by the integrated straps on the backs of most MOLLE pouches. The MOLLE straps bend with the pouch and user and don't cause pressure points when laid on them. The SPEED clip however, does. I found when mounting my MCAP with them on mid side, when I would bend down or go into the prone and lay on my side they would be much more uncomfortable than cloth versions or similarly the normal strap type.

I wouldn't recommend using SPEED attached pouches as they really don't solve a problem that exists however if you do need them, for instance with an MCAP pouch, I would suggest these as at least their easier to remove and move the pouches around.
