Quoted: How tall are you and how much do you weigh. I'm pushing 190lbs and 6'1". Wondering if I'll have the same problems.

I'm 6'2", 190. Unless you're wide through the shoulders & chest, your experience will probably be similar.
The other thing I'm wondering is the bottom looks like it sits kind of high in relation to the wearer's waist. When you start attaching mag pouches to it, if you attach them as far to the bottom as you can is it still awkward reaching to get them?

like the fact that the Eagle PC can be made to ride high. My philosophy is to dress my long gun rig around my everyday pistol CCW gear, which is a strongside holster and mag pouches on the belt. When training, I also wear a dump pouch on my belt, behind my pistol mag pouches. A lower-riding chest rig would interfere with this stuff, while the Eagle PC as I have it set up, does not. This is also one of the reasons I run the old-school PC and not the newer style with the cummerbund. I have my long gun mag pouches mounted so that the bottoms slightly overhang the bottom edge of the front panel, and I have no problem accessing them. Note that there's
plenty of adjustment in the shoulder straps, so if you want to run it lower, you certainly could.
