WHY MATE DESIGNS?
WE ARE MORE THAN JUST A MOLLE PANEL. OUR CORE PRODUCT WAS DESIGNED TO BE THE MOST VERSATILE STORAGE ECOSYSTEM.
WE WERE FRUSTRATED THAT ALL THE GENERIC MOLLE PANEL SYSTEMS REQUIRED YOU TO WEAVE YOUR ATTACHMENTS THROUGH A GENERIC SQUARE / RECTANGULAR PATTERN, SO WE MADE OUR OWN, UNIQUE HEXMATE ECOSYSTEM.
BUT WE DIDN'T STOP THERE. WE WENT AND STARTED BUILDING OUT THE ACCESSORIES TO GO ON THE PANELS, BECAUSE YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO GO TO THE DRAWING BOARD FOR YOUR SETUP...

Testimonials
“I set this up in my Silverado to optimise my daily work gear, and it’s been unreal. Everything I need for the day is right there within arm’s reach, and when the weekend rolls around I’ve still got all the essentials locked in and ready to go. It’s hands down the smartest tub setup I’ve run.”
“I saved about $30k by not needing a full canopy because the Mate Designs tub setup let me put all my important gear in the right place and actually use the dead space over the wheel wells. Now I can tour Australia in a lighter setup without losing any of the essentials. It’s been a massive win for my build.”
“The HEXMATE system just makes sense. I’ve got all my camera and drone gear organised properly now instead of rattling around in cases. I can grab exactly what I need for a shoot in seconds, then clip it all back in when I’m done. It’s honestly changed how I run jobs on the road.”
