Used an issued tap in darby. Fucking thing didn’t fit, sagged, chafed, couldn’t really put enough shit on it. Bought one of these on darby pass…. Never looked back and saved my life in mountains when the rucks got heavy. When I got to Florida I could open it up while digging fighting positions and when it got too hot. Laying prone pulling security I just popped open that front and I was comfortable. Definitely a great purchase.

[@TheGruntPerspective]

Yeah I like it quite a bit

[@personalaccount8914]

To be fair the reason your tap sucked ass in darby is probably mostly because the harness that comes with the tap is ass. With any H harness or X harness it works fine.

“Some people think it’s silly.” I don’t. In fact I think a person is not very experienced when they don’t have some type of water container (like canteens) on their person at all times. I have had a couple of people tell me “My water bladder has never failed” but when I ask them what their MOS is they never respond. Hearing “we’re out of chow” does not affect you like hearing “we’re out of water.” The former makes you shrug your shoulders. The latter makes you want to cuss a blue streak. Always, always carry more water than you think you need cause you never know what’s going to happen. OK. Rant over.

I will not run out of water

Our Stryker Brigades up here at Fort Lewis have also been issued these now. I like it so far. Better than the TAPs in my opinion. But I’m also a salty old Platoon Sergeant who grew up on web gear.

For anyone interested. National Parachute Test Center (NPTC) is authorized training center for Navy (USMC) to get your airborne wings. Had one marine, couple of sailors in my training/refresher group. They completed my DA Form 1307 (ex-Army).

[@apamburn]

I'm glad to see some decisions I made with my own LBE echoed here and validated. First, those tactical tailor mag pouches are absolutely perfect for this application. For all of the reasons you mentioned. They also come with shock cord to restrict them down for fewer mags or other smaller items. I also found that dropping canteen pouches a little lower makes it easier not only to wear a pack but also to access the canteens when the belt is worn around the waist like it should be. I pilfered the inner belt of a FLC and married it to m1967 h harness suspenders to make my own MOLLE LBE and it shares some of these ideas. General purpose is the name of the game here. I use four tactical tailor UMPs. The first two for mags, the second two for radio, IFAK, could be an expedient holster, a m18 smoke, whatever. Along the back I have four GP canteen pouches. The outer two hold canteens and the back two are for sustainment though that could be changed around depending on needs.

[@af22raptor23503]

Bravo-Zulu on your OUTSTANDING Video on the A-TAP and your Setup! I purchased an A-TAP at the End of December for Venture Surplus along with the Eagle Industry HG-VS-MS-5KH H-Harness because I wanted to compare the two and I had read good and bad things on both but I have been setting up individual Chest Rigs for different long guns I own and I wanted to try something a little different since I already have two USMC TAPs setups: 1. Standard Combat Load of SIX 30rd PMags plus one 20rd quick reload pouch w/77gr MK262 Mod 0, Three Pistol mags Glock 20/21 w/2rd extensions, IFAK and Tourniquet this Rig is for my MK12 Mod 0 rifle or M16-A4 Clone and I would carry either my Glock 21 or 41 MOS pistol. 2. Combat Load 6 PMags plus 16rds of Service Grade 00 Buck, 16rds of 1oz Slug plus 20rds of Door Breaching Round, plus Three Sig P226 9mm/40sw Extended Magazines, IFAK and Tourniquet this is for my CAR-15 and Mossberg 590 Breaching shotgun. I started looking into the USMC TAPs after a visit from a old Devil Dog buddy that meet while the Navy had me stationed in Norfolk VA and he visited me last summer with his family house shopping because he is retiring this summer. He had a couple of the USMC TAPs with him setup for a couple of his long gun and he showed me how good they were and also told me that they were EXTREMELY Reasonably priced specially in comparison to the Velocity System UW Chest Rig Gen IV and the Haley Strategic X Chest Rig and Heavy Chest Rig. Velocity System UW Chest Rig Gen IV is for my Bren 2ms Haley Heavy is for AR10 that I built Haley X Chest Rig is for a AR15 300BO I build The Great thing about the USMC TAP has been that I can build two for the price of a Haley or Velocity System and still have money left over but retain a quality Rig that is made in the USA. The TAP and the A-TAP are ALLOT better than the gear I used back in 2003-2006 when I was part of a Harbor Security Team and we were issued Blackhawk Omega Tactical Vest with flotation device attached to them by the Parachute Riggers and we had body Armor under the Vests but the Salt Water and Air killed the Vest within 9-18 months even if we took real good care of them like I did mine, I used to let mine soak in cool fresh water with a little dawn dish soap which was we were told to do but the Salt Spray from being on the Patrol boat manning the M240B while going 40MPH or faster was lots of fun but got the salt all over the gear and then we had to CLEAN EVERTHING specially the weapons that is why I preferred to work from the helicopter which was my secondary position because in the Helo I was either manning the M240B or the AR10/SR25 7.62NATO rifle which was allot of fun to shoot from the Helo. You are 100% correct on the amount of real estate available on the A-TAP and your Video is going to help choose the pouches I need to get since I have not gotten them yet but I will say that the Eagle H-Harness is a little more generous with the amount of space considering that they give you 10 columns of MOLLE on each side panel and 6 columns on the rear panel I put 4 of the Eagle Industries double two mags per pouch and still had room on the side panels and the back was clean which I am planning to put a butt pack since I have a Molle waist pack inbound for the A-TAP in Multicam for the rear panel.

The ATAP is one of those things that looks great at a glance, but the closer I look the less I like it. Just some rearranged hardware and slight dimension changes and it would be amazing. But the most shocking thing was the story about how some Marines don't carry water on their person in training...? What...!? That actually sounds insane to me, some senior NCO has seriously dropped the ball to let the idea of not having water even form in someone's mind.

If it’s coming apart without you pulling on the release that’s a a problem, if not I think you’re good

[@personalaccount8914]

Theoretically - this might look a little dumb - but if you're using a Malice frame - you could probably put a dangler on the back of the ATAP, and it wouldn't be any more problematic than the pouch you've already got. Could plus up what you're able to carry on your kit vs. what has to go in a pack - maybe some additional fieldcraft and survival stuff or a few extra mags? Sort of like a mini butt pack. Could possibly use the USGI waist pack for this purpose. Only real issue would be that when you're not wearing a pack, it might flop around. Probably at least worth experimenting with, could potentially move the whole survival kit from the ruck to the kit.

[@TheGruntPerspective]

I’m having a difficult time picturing what you’re talking about

[@personalaccount8914]

@@TheGruntPerspective I mean, could you use a dangler, dangling from that back panel on the ATAP? That way, you have two pouches for survival stuff instead of one. That would increase the amount of stuff you could carry.

[@personalaccount8914]

You're a lot more experienced than me, but one question - if someone was running up to you, and you were a casualty, how would they know where your IFAK is? Do you have a unit SOP on the placement, so they know the mutant pouch is the IFAK? If not, they're either fiddlefucking opening pouches until they find it, or they're gonna use their own stuff. I would consider sewing in a big red medical cross to make it stupid proof, or using duct tape, clear tape, and a sharpie to make a medical cross if you don't want to permanently modify the pouch.

[@woodsghost9088]

My opinion is he has already done that. Have you watched his armor vids? Are there points which are unclear? From my own experience: Don't wear armor when on long movements, enemy contact is unexpected, and you can stash it in your pack. When contact is expected/likely, wear armor. It's nice to not front load armor. But you have gear needed for YOUR personal mission(s). If you have so much gear you NEED that you have to take advantage of the space on your front, do it. If you can slim down gear and keep the front slick, then do it. A consideration: if you can move pouches off the carrier and onto a belt, and that actually covers all the gear you will need, that is sweet. Keep weight off the carrier if possible. But if it's not possible to keep the weight off, do what the mission requires.
