Pros:
-Fits snugly when adjusted, which you might need a friend to pull the back straps for you.
-The mag pouches have a strip of velcro on the front and lid to hold them shut, in addition to a strip of velcro with a smooth back -inside- the pouch that you can fold forward to make the pouches faster and quieter to open.
-Side pouches are pretty big.
Cons:
-Doesn't vent your skin well and soaks up sweat.
-Mine came with a broken map pouch snap.
-Came with the straps NOT crossed. Not a big deal but I was annoyed when I tried it on and the straps just fell off my shoulders.
-Straps are VERY long, I had to roll them up and tape them in place. Also don't have a good way to really hold them, they can slip out; Hence why I taped them.
-Map pouch is actually the size of the entire rig... kind of an issue when stuff moves all the way to the corner.. you just cant get it out.
All in all, it works exactly as you'd expect, with a little duct tape that is. Pretty awesome for the price. | |
