The thing with webbings and assault vests is they are meant to sit above the hips to allow full hip rotation in all directions.
The pouches are meant to sit around your backside area not the frontal area so you can change mags when prone. And you can use the front pockets on a combat jacket as mag dumps.
Some tips ......
Tape the rings and straps so they dont clink and flail about.
Use 2 small piece of tape on the female belt connection to stop slipping (alternatively you could swap it out for a modern clip design)
Other info which could be useful to you...
There are several different manufacturers as they were copied by a few other countries.
American/dutch Alice clip type pouches will fit str8 on but will need abit of paracord to keep them steady but if you use (m4) stanag mags it is worth changing over to alice pouches.
Cut the shovel hoops off the back of the yokes to reduce weight.
All in all very exceptional set of webbing. Had mine 16 years and not once let me down or broken.
You will not have any issues using this gear and i rate it over the modern stuff.
Only niggles are the metal parts rattle abit and the male femal clip can unclip sometimes but bit of tape soon stops both problems.
Best of luck with it all
