Always have a question about the guys with belts, so I'll ask it here. I don't mean to pick on you
I started out in the Army in the days of LBEs, then LBVs....then finished with IOTVs etc.
In my civilian job I've worn a gun belt for years. Nowadays I wear the gun belt with suspenders to take the weight off my hips
Bottom line, why do none of you guys with these belts wear any sort of load-bearing suspenders....I see a ton of gear on a wait belt, and all I can think of is the long term effects of that weight without any of the burden being taken up by the shoulders.
My car kit has old school LBE , plus a work plate carrier that I can throw on if I needed to.
Not sure I'd want all that weight on my hips alone over a prolonged period.
