Tried it out the other week at a CATC shooting course put on by AWG.
Got my own and am bringing it to the field this week. I'll post more then.

Just because I love to read reviews about shit I have no use for and wont ever own, that is supposed to be a good piece of kit, only down side I have heard is from folks trying to run it without plates and then it was prone to sag in the front. But that’s just from what I read on the internet so looking forward to your review

Guys, for your own safety, don't go with something like this. How many of you really want to have separate soft armor (IIIa minimum), and have your ammo attached to another piece of gear that oh, by the way, has your level V plates in it. Wearing either one by itself is asking for some rather serious problems should some metal come flying your way.The Wasatch was designed to be worn over other soft body armor .
I recommend the Alauda Centurion TAC SF. Made of Dyneema, it is MUCH lighter than the Interceptor with plates, is Level V (newer version that is coming out is level V all-round not just on th plates) and has a fantastic cooling system built-in.
Angry, I think he's just calling his new cell-phone sized GPS a plugger because he's an old fart who can't change his ways.... :D

Ranger B2/75,
Can you explain your point a little more.
I guess I don't understand if you are wearing them together and the plate hanger holds the plates in the same position as the IBA and you wear it over the IBA, as G&G suggested. What would be the problem?

I think he's saying that he doesn't see a reason to wear two vests when one will do just as well.TxBowhunter wrote:Ranger B2/75,

More pieces of kit means more things to screw up.
