Farmboy - first sorry for the hijack bud
and for Infanteer
Dude - that the wonderful thing about MOLLE = pers pref.
Patrol vest are good for something - and I agree with Pappy we need both. - I had to ditch my vest and go to a chest rig /then RAV 8) since I could not drive and do shit with the vest it was too bulky on the sides.
FWIW you can wear the Pac Safety Chest rig higher up if you like.
The big problem in adoption positions is not nec just the vest - but the soft armour and the hard plates.
Brandon M (he was on Combat camera on patrol so I know he is not camera shy and he is a buddy of mine.) wearing a LMG vest (4 box vest)
Me wearing the first vest I tried
I had 16 mags ( 14 x 28rds ea.
and 2 20 rds mags one of 77gr Mk262 (mooched) and 20 of tracer) in the vest at that time - a wee bit overkill
Me playing MasterChief (HALO guys...
) in the yard :
and some prone at the range
and kneeling
biggest problem is getting out and using your kit so you know your limits while wearing it.
I can shoot both the MEUSOC pistol and carbine courses in my gear (I sometimes pass too ;D )
I know I can't get to the ground like I can unarmoured - One of my biggest pet peeves is the prone for rifle colony guys doign attacks - fine wearing webbing - but try it in full 'sunday go to meeting' kit
and for Infanteer
