Awesome rig with a well thought out design. I love the equipment rings on the bottom, the internal magazine pouches, and the built in hydration pouch. I bought this for wear without body armor or hard ballistic plates, and it wears and fits well. Even when worn with body armor, it is very comfortable and snug. One drawback of the built in hydration system is that as you drink from the bladder, the weight begins to shift to the front of the kit. After long patrols, I can see that this could cause some problems if the hydration system was not topped off. Overall, this is a great system and fits my needs perfectly.
Pros: Great design, super comfortable to wear with or without body armor
Cons: Weight distribution relies on a full hydration bladder, bib uses only velcro to secure it in position
