Abstract
A personal webbing system includes a novel coupling for connecting components of the system. For each two components to be connected, one of the components has at least two apertures through it, spaced apart a fixed distance. The other component is equipped with a hooking element having a resilient base and a pair of hooks projecting from the base. The spacing of the hooks is such as to permit the insertion of the hooks into the apertures when the base is flexed and to retain the hooks in the apertures when the base is relaxed. The apertures may be arranged in two parallel rows along a belt and otherwise in pairs on other components of the system. The hooking elements preferably are combined with straps carrying "Velcro" fasteners for securing the connection between the two components.
