Flexible bladders allow the "squish" factor which may be the difference in your kit giving way and you moving through the breach, or getting hung up by something hard in your kit.
I personally keep as slick-sided as possible. I was issued the rifleman's MAV from TT by my company supply, and added on stuff I have had in the past. I keep a 3L camelback backpack as well as a 70 oz camelback on my back. The backpack is typically snaplinked as a headrest inside my stryker while the 70 oz'er stays on me. I grab the backpack depending on what we're doing if dismounting.
5 3 mag pouches from TT and one 3 mag panel (testing product never given back to the same company that made the RACK and MOLLE) comprise the immediate front of my kit. 3 pouches and the panel center mass, 2 mag pouches going to the left as worn. My medical pouch is to the right of center, followed by the large pouches on the sides. Those pouches typically carry markers, nods stuff, and any mission essential BS. Inside the MAV I keep my cap crimpers, strobe, tied off whistle, etc. 2 grenade pouches are on the left large pouch bottom portion, and a multiple shit carrying pouch is on the right. That's where my SH 21-76 stays in a MRE bag folded over. I also have multiple "idjit" cards for call for fire, medivac, etc.
I'll take a couple shots and post them up tomorrow.
