I have briefly tried the 417 Chest rig. I liked it but I don't like the price. For my need though I prefer to attach my pouches directly to my carrier. I use a Paraclete 3 M4 Mag/3Pistol Mag Shingle, a Radio Pouch, and a Flashlight Pouch. I have a very lightly used lo-pro carrier in Coyote that will be for sale next month
