It can be hefty, at least compared to the inner/outer belts common these days, but I've never had a problem with it. I've got pretty wide hips for a dude, and between them and the sure-grip material, it stays right in place. |

It works for the system, it's just a tad bit longer than I'd prefer. If it's oriented correctly, it gets in the way of my arm, and if it's upside down like this, it occasionally catches on my battle belt's mags. Still working on it. Probably work better for someone that has a longer torso than my short-ass does. |

You don't even notice it. Almost gives your low back support when seated too. I don't do (and have never done) work in and out of vehicles, but based on sitting in a chair in my kitchen, the roll 1 is nice. Especially when compared to a bulky/conventionally placed ifak. |

Ah shit, I just ordered the chinese knockoff of the roll1 on amazon for $20, didn’t even know who made the original. Very nice setup compared to a non-QD med pouch on a belt. |

Bump from the grave. I'm going to start disliking some of you, particularly Hoody, because I broke down and ordered a SLEDS in MC Tropic with a matching H Harness. It'll double as my placcard on my green PC I'll piece together throughout the year. For now it'll be my chest rig for an upcoming DMR class or hopefully classes. Almost bought the Haley Micro, but all the love for the sleds pushed me that direction. Plus the Haley costs more at the end of the day. |
|
@CJ47 yeah the Sleds are nice af. One thing I discovered a dislike for are the chassis style placards like the spiritus mk4/5. They don't follow the curve of the plate and force all the weight to be carried by the center of the velcro. 3 mag placards can actually be 'curved' and retain connection with all the velcro. I loaded by my mk5 as an experiment, sides, and ccs pouch up front and bent over. It literally came dislodged from the weight Attached File Attached File |
|
@hoody2shoez interesting. I've never noticed or thought about that. Is the Sleds curved? Because what you described is how I generally keep my current PC. Attached File While I don't always keep much weight in the dangler or ccs, I still don't want to risk overloading it now. |
|
@CJ47 They are not curved. But the 3 separate cells connected by elastic allows you to curve them. To be be fair, I super loaded the front as an experiment after I noticed it the chassis placards weren't form fitting to see if it would be an issue. A light load should be no problem though |

But there aren't many reviews out there of people actually using them in the real world. Does it work well in use and such? Easy to maintain? |

If you need this type of cummerbund, yes I love it. It's the best at what it does currently. My next carrier is going to be perroz's gen 2. Spiritus royally fucked up the lv120 so there's that |

What inserts are you using for your magazine pouches? I see a few of you guys have these. My BFG 10 speed pouches barely have any retention anymore, and I was wondering if there was some aftermarket fix like kywi inserts. Sorry if I missed it posted earlier, just jumped into this thread |
