Blue Force Gear SOC-C Padded Belt System

Recently got the armor package for the SOC-C belt, as I was changing out the foam I pull out my digital calipers and here's what I found:

Foam - .371"
Armor- .264"

I can notice a slightly slimmer profile with the armor (over the foam pads). The armor also makes the belt a little more rigid, which should support heavier loads better, the armor doesn't seem to have any effect on comfort (but this is just my initial impression of the armor insert) ..... overall I prefer the belt with the armor inserts.

I have been running the SOC-C belt system for a while now and personally love it. I have found it to be the best belt system I've ever used. Great pics!

Good review. Glad people are warming up to belt systems. I haven't used the Blue Force but I did use an ATS war belt as well as an Emdom this past year in A-stan.
