    Indeed.....Last year i had to take my rig off cause it kept filling up with water evertime i hoped out for what ever reason..It was like having 5 gallon buckets hanging from me...All in all i hope it comes in handy especillay if i tip it. Im pretty light so i guess it will holdk me afloat..

    This is just a bonus as it wasnt my intended reason for getting the new rig..........

    if you think that is expensive:

    Crye Precision Armor Chassis:





    this puppy will cost you in the area of $3000 USD without plates. So if you added front/back plates and any pouches, you are looking upward of $6000 USD.

    Don't believe me?, trust me.

    Don't take a dump on their dreams Mough. So what this thingy is in fact as complicated as average Jansport backpack? You got to represent!

    Jokes Aside - Brandenburger, why you bought this rig? You have PLCE, its a superior to BHI (Im not their fan in anyway). Why not to just get a comfortpad and make some good pouches for your needed pourposes. Cheaper and better solution anyway. And use a damn flotation collar, I wouldn't count on my webbing, even with all that foam inside to serve as a life jacket.

    It ain't exactly a life jacket, it merely provides "extra flotation", and leaves the rest up to the end user to say "um, how much can we do with this thing?".

    The LBT model is apparently US Coast Guard approved as a flotation device though, and seeing as they're the same design.....

    I know how it floats, friend of mine tried that trick with fully laden FSBE with flotation panels. I only managed to fell outa inflatables when in my gear - swimming with boots on sucks.

    Good question C22-

    I wanna see if i can get all my kit onto one rig and see if i can iliminate the need for a ruck in most of my outdoor situations or at least limit the ruck to a small patrol pack..Second reason is that i just wanna try it out..I have some extra ReichsMarks and its on sale so I figure WTF! PLCE is a good peice of kit but i can never get what i need on it w/o it turning into a cluster fuk of straps and half rig messes.........
