I was hesitant to purchase "blast belts" or combat harnesses because the original design left a lot of imperfections in In terms of comfort and functionality leave a lot to be desired. Condor doesn't particularly like the tactical gear brand, but they hit the nail on the head with this Gen II belt. It has many functional improvements including improved stitching and where flip leg holsters should be (both sides) there is a new built in mechanism that helps prevent slippage which other harnesses don't. I am currently in a trial period with a part where we overload the system by tightening more parts than an operator would ever need just to see if the stitching along the Molle webbing will hold or not. So far, so good! Molle straps do not deteriorate, the seams do not tear. The belt is very comfortable even when overloaded with equipment. It's certainly a vast improvement over the original combat belt designs. This item is a must have for operators who need lower back support for the ever increasing demands of the field. Sorry, I don't promote tactical, so this review isn't accompanied by photos or videos. For your health
