At the start of the day the bottom two pouches on the belt held shot-shells and a GPS-radio . . .

What crossfit gym are you wearing your 'plates' at?

And I can't believe I am questioning this, but 20lbs of gear??? As a civy, how many iPhones and iPads are you packing to equal 20lbs of gear?

And if you're trying to impress everyone with how hard core you are, 20lbs of gear is less than a healthy #### for most Men of Action.

It's a military gym, anything goes really.
Carrier plates weigh in at 16.7 pounds with camel back empty. Not not a 'civi' bud! But I do carry my iPhone while working out, need the tunes!!
I'm not trying to impress anyone buds, except maybe myself, you know goals. I recommend you get some goals, it makes life away from the Internet more enjoyable. And most door kicker types would love to only carry 20 lbs into 'action' if you asked them. And 20 lbs is not heavy unless you are a pussy!! And if you are trying to take me to task GFYS!!

I wish I was half as bad ass as you man, srsly
 
got mine from hi cal, not as spiffy as some of yours but it works for me. I added a dump pouch for empty mags and I love the camelback.

For me it really depends on the specific application.

I have run massive rigs before - in one case I ran 8 mags on the rig and one on a belt just so I could spend as much time as possible taking notes and as little time as possible running back to the line for ammo. In that case it was pretty worth it.

Ordinarily my preference is to have a couple of mags on the rig and one or two on the belt. My current preferred chest rig set up is something very similar to the OSOE micro, although the layout I'm experimenting with at the moment is a two mag shingle (can't remember, might be ESSTAC? Not important) with a 10-speed double on top. That way I'm always set up to run up to 4 mags,but if I don't have to, taking out the front pair flattens the profile of the rig instantly. Next to that is a med pouch, which is really just there incase someone accidentally (or intentionally) shoots me, and there's a guy handy with enough knowledge to help out, but no gear on hand. If someone else gets shot...well, I could help, I guess. I actually shoot mostly with people I like enough to try to stop catastrophic leakage, so I guess there's some utility there. At the very least I can always pull out the gloves so I don't get whatever form of herpes they probably have.

On the belt are a couple of tacos. I usually use kydex for my pistol mags, because I have lots of kydex pistol mag holders.

I don't own a set of plates because I don't train enough, or around enough yahoos, to warrant the expense. If I was doing a lot of open enrolment carbine classes in a large market, I would DEFINITELY own a set of plates. But all the guys who take the courses I take are a pretty stable group of competent shooters. So as long as we never get Sonny Puzikas up to teach a class my odds of being shot during training are pretty tiny.

Med pouch is now a fairly large but shallow admin pouch which is holding both all my note-taking stuff (anyone who's been in a course with me will tell you I use this at least as much as my gun...probably more) as well as a stripped down IFAK.

The only thing I want to add right now is a red cross on the lid of the admin pouch so it's clear there's useful stuff inside.

The pistol mag pouch was an afterthought when I realized I had a TAG enhanced double that wasn't in use. It's in the same spot as on my VZ rig, so why not.

My O.S.O.E. 12GA Micro. My only beef is the gravity retention on the AR mags, and the "wasted space" of the pouch. The triple mag holder is only velcro'd on, so is good enough for range/competition use. I'm looking at picking up the HSP D3 next time I'm stateside.

love the shell holders! where can I find a set of those?
 
I have always liked the OSOE rigs and John makes good stuff. Like the above poster, a mix of the shotgun rig and mags works. . The admin pouch can be made into a med pouch.

However like Farmboy having the stuff on the belt is easier on the shooter, cooler in the heat and faster.
