This is a great rig I have tried a lot of different styles over the years, and found this to be the best fit. It has worn quite well on my last deployment to Iraq in 08-09, I have used this for 2 Air Assault missions, and plenty patrols and raids. It is comfortable to wear dismounted as well in M1152, and MRAP’s. I carried the following items in the Rig Chem Lights, batteries, IR strobe, AN/PVS-14’s, MRE parts, FRAG’s, CLP, loose ammo in a bag, spare medical supplies, and several other items dictated by which mission I was going to run. My Scout PLT wore IR flags on the front and it looked really good and very fast to ID. The front internal pocket is just great and very efficient to open and grab my map and markers out using one hand. I am very rough on gear and this has lasted very well, only the lower left hand side buckle broke but that was me falling with my gear and plates on it against metal. It is well worth the money and has paid for it many times fold. Last it is a great asset to have in a leadership role

I bought this for my 15 motnh deployment to Iraq. As an infantryman in a stryker unit space is limited as this was just what I needed to carry mission essential items in a small amount of space. It held up through all the crap I put it through and the only wear has been a rip in the webbing on the back panel.
