I bought one. It was well made.

But here's what I don't get. The platform is an expensive piece of cordura with PALS on both sides. On one side, you use MALICE clips to mount it to your rig. On the other side, you use the bendy wire stuff to mount the med pouch to the platform. I'm sorry, but that is dumber than a box of hammers. Just use the wire to mount the pouch directly to your rig in the same manner that you would to the platform and you will really cut down on the bulkiness.

In addition to doing this, I hated the "pillow" on the quick release, so I cut it off and made the ends of the QR wire secure with 100 mph tape. Then I took a piece of strap from the riggers and made a nice, small loop that I could pull to release the thing. Much better again.

Version 3.0 has been to DX the DBT pouch and use the bendy wire to mount the far superior Emdom med pouch directly to my CIRAS.

But I am just an intel guy who likes his gear to work. Some of you guys that tend to play rougher should try this for yourself and see if you like it.
