IOTV Review
About mid way through our deployment we recieved our IOTV. And of course our unit made us where all the extra adapters. But eventually you get used to it.
So here is my final review of the IOTV.
Fit and Comfort: On the intial wearing of the IOTV it was very comfortable. The way it is designed it stays off the shoulders. There is a cumberbund that wraps around your waist that makes it very hot and uncomfotable. For me at least it seemed to long (I wore a medium and Im 5' 7" and 150lbs).
Pouch Placement: To be honest it sucked. If you like to wear a rack the shoulder straps on it will ride up and rub against your neck. If you prefer to mount your pouches directly to your vest. If you prefer to wear them high (like I do) the molle straps will place the top of the pouches right at your neck. other wise you have to wear them on your waist on a very thin flimsy peace of fabric that to put on the vest you have to lift it up and fasten the side straps to the front of the vest. Which makes it hard to properly fasten them because your holding up a 10lbs flap (with fully loaded ammo pouches attached).
Hope this helps and I went back to wearing the old vest.
Just my .02
