Regarding the belt, pockets & braces.
Are they any good or are they just over the top? It looks like a good idea, for the braces to take the weight of the belt, pockets, boab etc. can't help thinking it all looks a bit big, bulky & stiff though. Do the ergotec pockets fit this belt? can't seem to get a difinitive answer to that.
So, anyone use them/rate them or is it just over-engineered tripe?

I used eslastic builders braces on my belt and pockets for a bit. The braces where a pain to put on and off with the belt, like trying to wrap an octopuss around you from the back. I went with a velcro winspray belt. The unger system does look 8) though.

i have used the unger belt and braces for years the braces can get a bit fiddlerly ,
i sometime carry all sorts of bits in the pouches a lot off weigth at times the strain is taken on the shoulders not the waist which i find better as i have lower back problems,
i have used waist coats with pocket,pouches with just a belt but i would always go for this system know and it looks a lot more professional

great when you get use to putting them on the braces can be awkward to fasten other wise good kit for trad cleaning and internals.

Well I have to say, the quality of this stuff is second to none. I'm so supprised this stuff is so cheap, no more expensive than other kit. Very comfortable & pro' looking.
However, the braces I have hooked up a different way because IMO the way they should be hooked up doesn't work, especially when you have the scrim pouch on the belt. The boab can be positioned anywhere & is higher up so it doesn't bounce off the back of my leg anymore.
So, hopefully, no more heavy belt pulling my trousers down anymore :D
Only the coming weeks will tell but it looks good so far.
