it does not need to be a plate carrier as it will carry no plate. i am just looking for a molle vest that sits relatively low so i can have my mags lower across my gut than higher. plate carriers often look they suit my needs best for some reason. i want some thing with alot of possibility so that if something isn't working out i can re-position it....so vest style riggs seem to be better for me than open-back mag carriers. but in the same respect mobility of my arms is paramount. i have watched all the you-tube videos and read all the reviews i can stomach so i thought id ask you. right now i am looking mostly at voo-doo tactical, black hawk, and condor. most seem to sit pretty high. any suggestions? what has worked for you?

Trust me, you don't want to wear mags accross your abdomen.
There is a pretty good reason that no chest rig sits that low.
If you don't want stuff on your chest I would recommend a belt system instead.
FWIW- "Chest" rigs actually sit a bit lower than most seem to think.

thank you. yeah, i was just watching all the you tube videos and review pictures and the mags looked a little high. i do want them on my chest, well slightly below my chest, i just don't want to develop a case of t-rex arms when snagging them out.

I'm not pimping US Grunt gear, I don't own a single piece of their gear or have any tie to them whatsoever, it's just a handy link and shows general placement.
