The OmniSert is the exact solution I’ve been looking for to set up my CLS bag the way I want it to be set up. Before I discovered this product, my plan was to sew in retention for my medical items, but now I have a fully customizable CLS bag that can change to fit my mission set. Pairing up the OmniSert with the plate carrier pack (PCP) has also been a game changer. Since my CLS is on my back and easy to remove, I can provide care under fire from my belt and keep my hands free until I need to move to tactical field care. Truly a great set of products.
There are only two changes I’d like to see. First, the OmniSert only has one row to run the band through, I’d like to see some different sized OmniSerts with different configurations for retention. The current configuration works, but I feel like I’m pretty limited to the size and orientation of items since I can only fit 2 side by side in the PCP. Second, for the PCP, the padded covers for the straps are nice, but they should be more easily removable. It would be nice if the strap covers had a Velcro seam to take them off and put them back on. This way it would be easier to adjust the straps, and fit the hoses for hydration systems or other items.
Even with the few changes I’d like to see, I have still have to give this 5 stars. The product line that Shaw Concepts has put together works together seamlessly, and I would absolutely recommend any of their products to guys that are trying to improve their kit. I’ve already grabbed the Arc Carrier, PCP, and the OmniSerts. Once I get a set of side caps for my plates I’ll be fully set to go, but I’ll be sure to keep an eye out for whatever comes next.
