Thanks.

-I use a TAG Banshee.

-I chose it due to good reviews and the Cost:Feature ratio. The 35% off on Black Friday sealed the deal

-Strengths
Made well
Comes with cummerbund ant no additional cost
Rides very high
Can be used w/o cummerbund for more low profile deployment
I am only 5'7 and it works even for my short torso

-Weaknesses
TAG customer service resulting from Black Friday fiasco


Overall a great product.
Invest in the Shoulder Pad Accessory Set. They are tits.
Can be used with the PIG Kangaroo Pouch Mag Insert . The TAG kangaroo zipper pouch is also useful.
Not as padded as the SKD PIG, but I wear mine with soft armor underneath.
I have worn this for a few weeks on 8 hour shifts. I wore it on an 11 mile hike. I am impressed with the comfort.

I still want an SKD PIG, but for the price you can not beat the TAG Banshee.
