Not to necropost the absolute sh*t out of this thread... but I still haven't modified the PC to accept a different cummerbund, or purchased the quarter flaps. Not currently working in LE so the main purpose of the plate carrier now is SHTF / training use unless I go back.
Dug up this thread on Google, of all places, and decided to say I'm going to check it out when I get home and see if I can modify it myself without compromising the integrity of the back portion of it. I don't intend on ever using the zip-on backpack Velocity offers, but I'd really like to get a CB like this so I can at least run soft armor inserts with it because I'm no longer regularly wearing concealable soft armor:

That's what I use.

Received the Mayflower cummerbund I attached the photo of a few posts ago and said "F it" and modified the carrier.
Initial impressions: it feels WAY more secure on my body than the old Velocity finger-style "light" cummerbund, although I would have probably ordered that specific attachment style had I seen it before I placed the order just so I didn't have to cut threads on the carrier itself. I have access to heavy-duty sewing equipment at my dive buddy's house and his wife is going to make me a handful of elastic loops from the yard of 1" elastic I ordered for securing comms cables and the hose to the small hydration bladder I'm waiting to receive (along with a couple other things) from USMC_03.
That said... I am going to have to lose some chest/waist girth in order to fit comfortably into this thing in any position, or to stuff the 6x6 side plates I ordered in it. I've always been barrel-chested and I have some weight to lose but I didn't expect this thing to be this damn tight. LOL
