Sizing is based on standard BALCS soft panel sizes. It also, obviously, accepts hard armor plates. The plate pockets allow the ride height of the plate to be adjusted.
I like that the inner cummerbund can be removed. I've found that this makes the vest much cooler as it is one less strap hugging the wearer. Airflow is improved dramatically.
The side flap style allows all the pouches to be mounted to the front panel as opposed to mounting them to an external CB like on the LAND version. When heavily loaded pouches are mounted to an external CB, donning is slower. When donning the vest in a hurry, the CB tends to flop all over the place due to the weight of the loadout. Of course, once it's on, it's stable, but, the side flap style doesn't flop like that, so we've found that donning is quicker. That may or may not be applicable for all users, but for LEO work it's relevant.
I've used this carrier during some very strenuous training evolutions and have been 100% pleased.
