Its a Condor. There was an Officer in Discover or Times wearing the ACU version of it. I don't remember which.
I don't have any problems with it. It has a wide waist clearance so it doesn't ride or chaff. All the weight is placed on the shoulders.
Do you like all the weight on your shoulders?
It's one thing I hate about my armor. Loaded with all 4 plates, a basic load of 5.56 and 40mm, IFAK, and other shit gets goddamn uncomfortable strapped into a Chinook for anything over an hour. Footin' it is a bit better, but still shitty. I'm talking about my Interceptor, btw.
I've found that rigs with an internal cummerbund that places a good portion of the load on the hips is the most comfortable way to go. I actually run with my MARCIRAS w/plates for 3-5 miles with a good bit of comfort (on my shoulders, anyway!). Granted, there's nowhere near as much stuff on it versus the Interceptor, but you get the idea.
I agree, that if the rig doesn't HAVE a cummerbund, then it's more comfortable loose on the sides, but then it's not very stable.
I really don't see why anyone would run an armor carrier without a cummerbund given the choice.
