First of all, I want to say that I searched for this question here but didn't find a thread that specifically answered my question.
I am planning on attending one of MVT's HEAT 1 courses this fall and am assembling the necessary gear. I began with good old ALICE web gear, with the LC-2 belt and H suspenders, and USGI mag pouches, followed by a german surp rig, and then various setups from prepping supplies, lastly by a blackhawk setup. All were cheap, but thoroughly uncomfortable, and it tends to bounce around during any movement other than regular walking. You get what you pay for!! This has left me doing a good bit of research into chest rigs and such.
I think I have narrowed it down to 2 choices: an ATS M4 chest rig or Mayflower M4 chest rig. I don't plan carrying a radio on the rig at the moment and I can attach an IFAK if need be the ATS rig. Thus, I am leaning towards the ATS because the it is a little cheaper. Before I make my final decision, is there a reason why I should choose the Mayflower over ATS? I get the impression that both would serve me well. Thanks guys!
