    What tactical vest/LBE do you favor?

    Been having this conversation with several of my prep buddies and so wanted to ask here. What is your favorite tactical vest or Load Bearing Equipment ? I personally am a big fan of Condor which is what my vest is, I was slow to warm to them but once I got my hands on some of their equipment I was pretty impressed.

    So was curious to see what y'all are wearing. Thanks

    BCM03: for shorter term, training classes, etc
    Blue Force Gear LMAC: plate carrier
    London Bridge Trading Company: heavier chest rig with tons of pockets and built like a tank.

    For pouches I prefer: Eagle, USGI, Endom, London Bridge, Marz, Tactical Tailor, etc

    I currently just use a old Vietnam era h harness LBE set up. Nothing to brag about. I really need to go to a more mission specific set up. The BCM o3 Stig mentioned is on that caught my eye. Its not an all around rig but would be super for short term use.

    Kifaru http://www.kifaru.net/ for packs and some pouches, FMCO http://www.antipersonnel.net/fmco/ for vests and pouches, Tactical Assault Gear (TAG) http://www.tacticalassaultgearstore.com/ for MOLLE belts and pouches, plus there are several other companies with specific items that I like, such as the HSGI dump pouch/respirator pouch. http://www.hsgi.us/

    for right now I went with a battle belt, chest rigs look like a bra on me, Size 62 long jacket, think silver-back gorilla , but once the weight is on it, is sags cause I have no ass, I really need to find some sort of suspenders but they are gonna have to have some length to adjust, most of what I have tried doesn't

    Have you tried the HSGI suspenders? They're not only adjustable, but shock corded, so they move with you while also supporting the weight of the belt. I highly recommend them.

    As for my kit, I've had an SDS FLC for years now, and I have an ATS war belt with (as I've just mentioned) HSGI suspenders.

    Eagle Scalable plate Carrier with TAG pouches everywhere on it and a assault pack ready to roll if I need it.
    RELIGION IS LIKE A PENIS
    Its fine to have one,
    Its fine to be proud of it,
    But please dont whip it out in public and start waving it around,
    And PLEASE dont try to force it down my children's throats.
