    Worth every penny

    Fantastic piece of kit. I was a bit weary of the price tag until the moment I had my hands on it and got to setting it up to expand my microfight MKV. Being able to size up or down my rig in a few minutes depending on my day ahead is incredible. Having Molle/pals/whatever webbing on both the front and back gives a ton of potential for bringing as much as I need without getting super bulky. It takes spray paint very well for covering any exposed real estate for a bit more concealment compared to the rather bright coyote fabric (for my environment at least). The material is plenty rigid but still wraps around the body well. I’ve found that running shock cord through the laser cut holes is great for securing bangs/smokes/TQs with good retention without the bulk of a dedicated pouch. After a couple months of use I’ve been waiting to find something that I feel could be improved, but so far I’ve got nothing.

    Supremacy… achieved.

    I’m not a Spiritus Systems fanboi, I think they make great stuff, and specialize in making top notch gear (material, process, R&D, etc) that can be pieced together to flex with different weapon platforms, job needs, etc. This, however, means instead of single piece total systems (think Haley rigs, LBT, etc), which have lower costs, this has a higher cost as each piece is an individual process, batch, unit, etc. All to say, the price matches the material, process, and their business costs (employee benefits, wages, etc), so get over it…. Now, the thing 3… it is supremacy achieved. 4 columns is able to handle almost every pouch on the market, and depending on pouch size, multiple pouches on each side, even. Traditionally I’d opt for a placard with Lunar Concepts Wing Expanders, but this is that ins. Single piece unit, keeping things together and sturdy. And the price point is excellent. Additionally, the thing 2 would separate a bit in between the front and rear of the center placard portion, which annoyed me, OCD here, hi, but this does not have that issue at all. Punch line: if you need wings and want scalability, at a great price, this is it… SEND IT.
