Reviews & Ratings for Shellback Tactical Banshee 3.0 Quick Release Cummerbund — 4 reviews — Page 1

The mag holders are a bit too tight but I snipped mine to make 308 mags fit otherwise great setup

The default cummerbund on the Crye JPC (2.0) is pretty basic, I was seeking a cummerbund option that has a provision for soft armor insert AND built in magazine slots. This Shellback Banshee gave me those two options in addition to quick release buckles.
The modularity of being able to weave this into my existing carrier just with shock cord was nice without too much jerry rigging. Total capacity is 8 on the cummerbund, plus presumably 3 on the front carrier so upwards of 11 magazines in a relatively slim package, without feeling like you have a floatation inner tube around you. You are able to put a radio into the mag pouches without getting too bulky with add-on pouches.
The only small gripes I have are the buckles are quick release, not so much quick donning, it's a small effort to align everything snugly and click in. The second small gripe is the cummerbund magazine pouches are pretty much AR magazine sized only, nothing bigger like AK style mags or 7.62x51. Lastly, fishing out the 3rd and 4th mag from the front is pretty much impossible. Those will likely have be for your battle buddies to access.

So i actually have a 5.11 carrier and use this cumberbund. It fits great, holds great, and feels great. Durable and dependaple.
