Arbor Arms has just released an adapter kit which retrofits their popular Flex Releasable Cummerbund to fit the Army issue, Improved Outer Tactical Vest (Gen 2 & 3).
The FRC kit replaces the standard cummerbund with improved MOLLE Elastic while the Front Hook/Loop closure system is replaced with the FLEX Cobra Buckle by AustriAlpin.
Additionally, the FRC improves ease of access for combat medical treatment.
The kit integrates with the current cutaway and offers the wearer a quick and quiet doff and don.

Can you even “Shoot, move and communicate” (*effectively) in that rig??
With the IOTV? Heck, I could barely get a proper sight picture. Lucky for me I was issued a IBA at the same time.
Please tell me those Slik Cips are bearing no load.
I was thinking the exact same thing……
Thought the extact thing when I saw the last picture, thats failure waiting to happen.
cobra in front, then those weak links in back… huh…
According to National Molding the SLIK clips are rated at 50lbs each making each cummerbund attached with 150lbs. even using the shoulder strap as drag handles during intensive TCCC training we have yet to have one fail on us.
