Pros: Modular!; great quality, holds plenty of mags, plenty of webbing space
Cons: Does not have integrated hydration carrier

This chest rig is superb in my opinion. It allows for plenty of mag space and even more pouch space. Modularity is, of course, great, as I can configure this chest rig to a specific role or weapon very easily.

As expected, the quality of this chest rig is top-notch, and it is a given that it will not break down over time.

The only downside is that an integrated hydration pouch for CamelBak-type bladders is not included. However, SOTech does sell a hydration/shoulder strap option that is a nice add-on. It has padded shoulders with additional PALS webbing, along with a hydration carrier with webbing on the back as well. A drag handle is also featured. I highly recommend picking up that piece, but it adds to the total price quickly.

Overall, I think this is a very nice, versatile rig that can fit anybody\'s needs.

Pros: Holds six magazines internally, lots of real estate
Cons: No hydration pouch, can become front heavy

The Hellcat is a very good modular platform for anything from a field fighting rig to CQC.

The only problems I have experienced is that there is no integral hydration pouch. I solved this by purchasing the S.O. Tech hydration pouch with padded shoulder straps, which more or less mates directly to any of the Hellcat series. The pouch helps balance the rig if you have a lot of weight mounted at the front.

I really like this system and will probably be sticking with it for a while.
