BLUF: It’s clunky and can use some improvements, but it isn’t designed to be fast and improvements are simple. This is a good inexpensive macro rig.
Cons: Mag pouches don’t really fit 2 polymer mags without fashioning some velcro extensions. The pistol pouch fits metal mags best, but not extended mags without more extensions. The map pockets use elastic tabs to pull open and these can be difficult with the velcro holding the map pockets closed. The horizontal adjustment for the integral harness leaves the hook side of the velcro facing in, towards the wearer’s clothing or skin. Long term use will wear on clothing, including the $300 dead bird jacket you wear when it’s cloudy.
Pros: Besides the basic layout, the pouches are easy to modify. The whole rig is made of quality construction and quality material. There are buckles included on the harness that can be used, with a bit of work, with an Arbor Arms Tradesman or Tactical Tailor Removable Operator pack or the like. I ordered a used khaki version and could find no evidence of wear on it.

I purchased this rig for a particular purpose. I wanted a travel rig that was light, durable and would also accomodate any additional geat that I would want to add- IFAK snack pouch, ya know the essentials. The version I bought was khaki and in great shape despite being used. It shipped fast and was well packaged. Overall, I am very pleased. The split front is perfect being able to store the rig in my bag fully loaded, and easy to slip on without removing my hat or messing up my hair ( which when operating is essential to look great, right?) Witho mags and ut the sarcasm, the rig is very easy to get on and off- it also has additional straps for the placemnt of a hydration pack if you want. Total of I pistol mags without adding any addtional gear- not bad at all. The side had molle webbing as I mentioned earlier which is a perk. Out of the box this is range ready- or larping, or whatever it is youre into. The pouches secure with velcro and buckles. This isnt a tactical, im about to go speed load rig. However, you can tuck the flaps out of the way and have quick access to you magazines. Just keep in mind this piece of gear has an intended purpose, and it will work if you know what youre doing. The straps are padded and are very comfortable. Being H design and not cross or x pattern is a perk to me, again, easy to spilt on and off and over clothing or body armor if that is your thing.
So far, I can not find anything to complain about.
