If you could only choose between a battle belt or a chest rig to hold all your mags, sidearm, etc. which would you choose?
the chest rig makes getting in and out of vehicles alot easier. Also the belt makes you WAY harder to drag if you're wounded.

i like the idea of having my essentials (IFAK, field knife, comms, up to 4 mags and pistol) in my belt and then put everything else over it in my body armor that i can ditch if needed. That being said, if you plan on using a battle belt, i think suspenders are a must, i wonder why so many people don't run any

I worked construction for 8 years with a belt that could end up weighing upwards of 40 pounds depending on the job. Even on light jobs that shit was still hindering for daily activates. I could climb a ladder, shimmy a ledge, and crawl but doing anything like sitting down or moving fast was a no go. Having everything on a belt is an immobilizing cluster fuck not to mention a fuck all to balance and the center of gravity your body needs to function in real world tasks.
Besides clip and flip pouches are made for this exact reason. So you don't have to wear a belt, but still be able to carry shit like a belt.

Because wearing suspenders under your armor chafes, and wearing suspenders over your armor means you can't get out of your armor easily.
And everybody that matters wears armor.

Chest rig
>rucksack compatible
>easier when playing around with vehicles
>depending on issued BA a belt might not fit properly

well it just really depends how much gear you are running, if it's just a couple mags, ifak, holster, knife, and utility pouch, you might be good without them.

That joke was old and lame when I heard it 15 years ago in middle school, and it's still old and lame now

I've worn my H suspenders under my IOTV and plate carriers plenty, never chafed
But I wear my shit tight so I think that factors in

fuck off and die
I go up the middle here and run a set of Canadian Pattern 82 web gear; you've got all your shit on your hips, and the weight is distributed pretty evenly, plus you get the neato butt pouch, and that Cold War asthetic.
