This is my favorite rig so far. I own several condor rigs and plate carriers, and the recon suits me best. Its integrated mag pouch holds 8 m4 mags (6 in front and 2 secret side pockets) and 6 pistol mags. No messing with molle straps/buttons, and everything fits tight and secure. Im 5'9 160 and I have to adjust straps way down so there s a lot of loose strap which you have to figure out what to do, but i was able to secure the looses ends with all the velcro involved. I could also trim the straps nonetheless I can see this fitting a 6 foot 230 person no problem. I should mention I use this for paintball and the mags are polymer, but I've had no problems losing mags diving through windows or crawling through brush. I attach a molle dump pouch and when I went to attach a single mag pouch in the side, I was pleasantly surprised to find each side has a built in hidden mag pocket for one m4 mag. I love that there are no molle buttons popping off here and there. And its more low profile and lighter than anything else I own that can carry 8 mags without extra attachments. I wanted to mention that I can throw this either over a t shirt or a winter bdu setup. The velcro in front is exposed once you remove the pistol mag covers (which I dont use) leaving a 2" velcro bar for patches. These also help keep the whole rig more secure. Great product. If your much smaller than me the condor chest panel runs a little smaller, and you attach your on molle to that.
