As for the thread theme, not everyone has bought into modular, and rightly so. Many units, especially SWAT type do not need loadout flexibility, do not operate in denied areas and really only need something to carry mags, bangs and a bladder. A lot are using vests bought years ago when Eagle was pretty much the only company making them, and prefer to spend money on ammo, training and updating weapons.
One thing I have noticed about this site, and don't take this the wrong way...you guys dress better than any team guy I know. Most of us use issued gear, have riggers belts made by riggers from old parachute harnesses, and simply don't spend that much time on what we wear, to us it is trivial, all we give a fuck about is mission accomplishment. Looking cool, being super comfortable, that shit isn't even in the top five, well maybe looking cool is, or just not looking fucked up. When you see these guys who are SF who post about having gucci gear and all that bullshit what you don't see is that most of their teams think they are pieces of shit because they don't do their jobs and spend more time looking in the mirror than at the training schedule.
So, if the shit fits wear it, if a SWAT team has been wearing the same Eagle tac vest since 98, they will probably continue to do so. I know dudes who still wear the canvas H harness on their LCEs, I've never seen an impression of one of them, it would cost you about $100 to do that, I know guys who wear Brit kit (PLCE) and love it, never seen an impression of one of them, and if you saw the way some of my friends have their assault gear set up you would flame them off of your board for having black, or using the wrong gloves, get real. Not many people in my line of work wear a fixed rig such as a tac vest, granted, but there are also a large number who don't know nor care about their gear other than how they can do rapid mag changes in two seconds, or where to put bangs, charges, and having a happy spot for mags.
I am an acception to the rule, since I own a store that sells the stuff, and I have had a self admitted gear obsession since before I joined the military. How much time do I spend setting up gear, or changing it? That's simple, I lay out what I am going to carry, them build a rig to match it. The setup I have now will not change drastically until I go to another team 2 or 3 years from now.
Probably more information than you need, but don't by any means think that what you see in the few released pics out there, or read on some forum from a guy on an ODA who doesn't do his job and acts like Joe Cool actually reflect the majority of the subculture they are a part of. Most of us have house payments, car payments, and families that we direct our attention to as well as our money, work is work and as long as we get the job done, that is all that matters.

), però in linea di massima,facendo un semplice ragionamento il materiale dovrebbe essere simile (tranne per cose come esplosivi, radiolone e quant'altro). Cosa ne pensate?
