Which Chest Harness?????
Which Chest Harness for 2nd line gear would be a better buy....the HSGI Denali or BH Commando Recon CH? I guess each one would have its pro's and con's, but what do you fellas think?
Grazie,
A8

I really like HSGI gear, and only use BHI as a last resort.

can you be a bit more specific as to your 'need' and 'requirements'
are you looking for modularity or fixed pocket?
what weapon? - over Body armor?

Generically, I would say that if you buy the BHI version of anything, be prepared for it to fail at the worst possible moment, and plan accordingly.
OTOH, Gene's HSGI stuff is virtually bulletproof, and not that much more money.

again both rigs satisfy differing groups - there was still a bit of animosity between SOTECH and HSGI (well mostly from the SOTECH camp) about the similarity between the rigs.
That being said, you cant go wrong with hsgi, however if you not EGGROLLsized, then youll run into sizing issues with the wasatch, that is if you dont run plates and arent wearing this over IBA
Again you arent giving us much to go on.

Just planning on using Stand-Alone Level IV plates (No IBA).

Okay, Ill bite, what if you are 6'2" 210 and want a vest that either can be used in conjuction with IBA or (the more expensive option) is there one that accepts SAPI plates and offers ballistic protection to the areas not covered by the plates. It should be modular and I carry both an M9 and an M4. Any advice would be appreciated.

I have and used a Special Operations Technologies Callahan 3 for about 6 months in A-stan. Worked great for me as a Driver. Standard issued BA didn't allow me to move i(get in & out) of the drivers seat. You need to think about that if your in a M1114 or whatever your driving.
Which ever one you get; try to "test" them out. Look and ask around to see if anyone has one on your base. Use it and Jump in your seat or where ever your going to be in. Don't jump think about it in the dismounted mode, use it in as many "jobs" as you can.

It is a bitch to put on and adjust, and it is not the most confortable I found! Plus pretty much all the front tension and weight is supported by just two plastic clips. I wouldnt put my safety onto those two clips.
