Excellent!

I wish the back of the cummerbund attached via Velcro instead of having to lash it to the rear of the carrier via shock cord, but otherwise a great carrier!

Overall awesome quality but issues with padding

Best carrier I’ve ever put on! Only issue is that the adhesive attaching the Velcro to the torso padding is very weak and didn’t hold up to my profuse sweat. A couple pads fell completely off after taking the carrier off and all others were peeling.
I was very disappointed given the price point but for now I’ve reattached them with some gorilla super glue. Hopefully that holds!

Good quality product.

Very clean laser cuts, no frayed stitching, light weight and solid hook and look fabric. Arguably on the middle to higher range in price but so far initial load out and fit is good. Looking forward to long term durability and comfort. Highly recommended if this is in your budget.

Phenomenal Fit/Performance!

I’ve had it all set up for about a month now and put it through the wringer and am extremely pleased with this purchase. 6’00” 190 lbs - S/M with Medium SAPIs is a perfect fit - like other reviews, I’ve got the cummerbund at tightest setting without overlapping. Fits great, function is great, comfort is great. Yes, it’s pricey, but I believe the hype after purchasing for myself - great people building a great product to meet the warfighters’ needs - worth every penny! Thanks SC!
