01

Separate the carrier from protection

A carrier or rig is load-bearing equipment; any protective capability depends on the exact compatible armor, fit, and configuration.

02

Fit the platform before adding pouches

Set shoulder adjustment, ride height, cummerbund fit, and access to essential controls before deciding where additional equipment belongs.

03

Every attached item adds bulk and fatigue. Keep the load task-specific, balanced, and tested through normal movement and vehicle use.
