Designing a Load Bearing System

[Panzer Grenadier]

Flawed Design, it seems the Weesatch Carries fewer mags http://www.davesarmysurplus.com/images/aridwe.jpg than the Wasatch http://www.davesarmysurplus.com/images/aridwas.jpg, thats how it appears to me.  And secondly in regards to the Arid Cadpat or Tan, it will depend if you want to pay the bit extra to have the Arid Cadpat version or not.

Well my two cents is..... I like the US mod system that goes on the frag vest. It makes sense to have mod system on the frag vest. So it is one piece of kit. Like the CBT ENGR will require different pouches and placement then a infantry soldier. I don't think that the tac vest should all look the same. You should wear it any way you want to it is your life support system. If you can draw a mag or any other piece of equipment out faster to save your life or your buddies. Then that is the way you should wear it.

Panzer, yes it seems to hold less.
Weesatch holds 10 and the Wasatch holds 12, The latter rig looks to me like it goes too far on the sides. Maybe it's a comfort thing.

The decision between cadpat arid and tan, besides what looks cooler, is the availability of pouches in arid.  Having an arid vest with tan pockets might look a little weird.

I don't know if this gives you the wide selection of arid cadpat your looking for, if you scroll through it appears to have a large assortment of it - by my accounts that is.
