Helpful but restrictive - BlackHawk Ergonomic Duty Belt Harness

My back had become increasingly sore and tired so I wanted something to help take the weight off my duty belt off of my hips. The Blackhawk harness is helpful and I did feel my back pain decrease, but there were drawbacks. I like that this harness system is quite adjustable, and the material and craftsmanship is good quality. But this isn't a system I've been able to use daily. Perhaps it is this way with all suspension/harness systems but when I wear it, my mobility is noticeably restricted. I can't reach across my body as easily. Even reaching for my flashlight or to even turn the channel on my radio,( left hand to my left hip) is difficult because the belt is simultaneously pulling down on your shoulder while lifting the equipment on your belt upwards. Reaching back and to your side elevates your shoulder pulling the belt further upwards and making grabbing items very awkward. Since getting this product I've only used it comfortably when I'm standing for long periods of time, such as OT work at events and concerts.
