Gentlemen,
I'm leaving shortly for my first deployment in the sandbox (Kosovo was a little slow, a bunch of buddies and I volunteered for another rotation). I've been hearing that the IOTV is great, but is a hassle to get on and off with everything attached. I've been looking into different plate carriers and reading reviews reviews reviews, but I have one question I thought you gentlemen would be able to clear up. Barinig any restrictions on CoC permission to wear personal gear... what is the difference between something like the CIRAS and Eagles plate carrier with Cummberbund?
(I was shopping at
http://www.optactical.com/eainveri.html ).
Team Sergeant edit, we know the guy that owns optactical..... 
it's fine to "hot link his website with ours.
Both are similiar in make as far as I can tell, both require SAPI plates as well as additional soft armor (unless I'm mistaken, the SAPI plates are not stand alone and need soft armor to be effective). Aside from a few costmetic designs, am I missing something that makes up for the about $200 price difference? I already messed up and bought a TAG Plate carrier that I'm in the process of returning ... I'd appreciate any help.
