Holds well to gear and pack

Maxpedition makes great products. The TacTie is a simple concept, but proves to be the key enabling one to combine different Maxpedition products conveniently, easily, efficiently, and securely. I was a bit skeptical at first; I didn't think that a cloth tac tie would provide a secure fastener.

But, Maxpedition TacTies actually hold pouches quite securely to other pouches and packs. They can take a lot of normal stresses, and will hold securely as long as the end that goes through the loop ring is pulled through all the way so that the latching part of the end catches on the edge of the loop ring, and rest between whatever components it's attaching together. I've had no problems with using them.

Very well designed!

This type of design will hold something that is not against a lot of stress, but if you really pulled against it, the ties will give away. They serve their purpose, but keep in mind what you're attaching them to.
