Well, after much anticipation I ordered the MOFOCR in Cadpat TW from CP Gear back in March. I wanted it before I reported for work-up training. I ended up getting the second one off the line! I managed to get it set up and had it ready for the field. We were out for approximately 5 weeks in Wainwright and Suffield.
This rig ROCKS!!!!! I wore it all day, every day with no problems. After that whole ex, there are a couple of frayed threads and that's about it.
The set up:
Left Side: TT Large Radio Pouch, HSGI Large EOD, CP Gear Lobster Trap and two ESSTAC pistol mag pouches attached to the EOD, two CP gear double mag pouches, above those are two ESSTAC single mag pouches, CP Gear frag grenade pouch and PRR.
Right Side: CP gear Triple mag pouch, ESSTAC Minimed, HSGI Smoke, CP Gear FA pouch, HSGI Smoke, Bayonet and CP Gear frag grenade pouch above .
Back: HSGI hydration carrier modified to attach to the rig.
Positive Points:
1. It has a lot of real estate for attaching pouches, I could easily carry a sect commander's load - 10 mags (we had 5), DAGR, PRR, 521, IFAK, 2 x frag, 2 x smoke, dump pouch, Surefire, Gerber, compass, map, water, batteries, etc
2. The front map pockets rock, I had my compass in the left one and the map in the right one, much easier to access.
3. It was easily worn over the FPV and was comfortable.
4. The MOFOCR doesn't bounce around stays tight on the body.
5. Easy to access the mag pouchs, even with grenade pouches above them.
6. Pricing is reasonable, especially if you get one of the packages.
7. I attached a couple of female fastex buckles to the sides and took two 'sleeves' with fastex buckles on the yoke in order to have a quick release system for my hydration carrier. It worked awesome as I could very quickly detach my Camelbak if I had to carry a ruck/small pack, radio. I just threw it in the pack and off I went.
Points to Improve:
1. The attachment Snapdragon buckles on the front took quite a bit to get used to. I could get my rig on quick, but it took a few seconds to get the buckles done up. The system I came up with was to unzip the two map pockets and do the buckels up starting from the top and working my way down. Then just ip up the map pockets. Also, you need to keep the rig a bit loose, that helps a lot as well.
2. Matt should extend the 'loop' strip that is under the shoulder straps the whole length of the strap, and come up with a sleeve with a buckle, or just attach a female fastex buckle to the shoulder straps.
Other than that I am very happy with this rig, I will be getting one in Cadpat AR for the deployment and have encouraged my soldiers to get this rig if they are going to buy a rig.
Pouches: The new CP Gear pouches are great as well. I also had a mix of some other pouches.
IFAK: Fits all the stuff we carry perfectly. Should have another strip of 'loop' on it though.
Double Mag Pouch: I have already done a review of this, Matt sent me the newest version and there are no concerns.
Triple Mag Pouch: Didn't get to use it too much with mags as we only got issued the basic EIS (5 mags), but it did hold the large smoke grenades we got issued (British I believe)
Frag Pouch: great pouch, they fit the M67 and the new C13 perfectly, easy to get the frags in and out!
Lobster Trap Dump Pouch: I've reviewed this pouch before, great pouch but could be a bit bigger. I encourage all inf soldiers to add a dump pouch, they have a 100 different uses.
TT Large Radio Pouch: Holds the 521 perfectly, but we didn't get issued any 521's
HSGI Large EOD: great all round utility pouch, I had my mag charger, extra ammo, snacks, etc in it.
HSGI Smoke Pouch: Don't lke this pouch, too hard to get the smoke out of and only takes up one channel of PALS, I am going to try the CP Smoke pouch
ESSTAC Minimed and Pistol mag pouches: What can I say about Stu's stuff, absolutely bulletproof. The Minimed holds the DAGR perfectly. However I think someone should make a dedicated DAGR pouch.
Overall, Matt has really brought CP gear around.
Pics: I have one pic but had trouble getting it up due to bandwdth problems at the 5 star hotel :they have us at. I will try and get it up later.
