Särmä TST X-Harness
The name should say this is not a complicated item. You'll probably guess most features already and if you do, it means we did a good job of designing a non-subversive X-Harness. Read on to see if we got it right!

The name should say this is not a complicated item. You'll probably guess most features already and if you do, it means we did a good job of designing a non-subversive X-Harness. Read on to see if we got it right!
The X-Harness can be used together with a Battle Belt or to assemble a Chest Rig. The heart of the Chest Rig can be a Placard or just a really wide utility pouch or triple mag pouch.
For increased capacity, add some pouches to the side, and you're good to go. Many Placards have webbing loops on the sides to support extra pouches on the sides. If necessary, linking pouches together side by side with some Paracord is easy as pie.
Thanks to the laminated 500D Cordura construction with laser-cut attachment slots the harness is strong, low-profile, and lightweight. You can wear the rig and carry a rucksack at the same time without interference. M05 Woodland material is laminated 500D Foxdura.
Made in Germany.
Modular and adjustable
The shoulder straps of the X-Harness are ready for any front attachment method you care to think of: G-Hook, QASM buckle, PALS strap on the back of the pouch, rock or something... You can tie down tubes, cables, or antennae to the shoulder straps with ease and nothing stops you from attaching more pouches higher up.
The rear straps feature Side Release buckles with a Split-Bar female for ease of attachment to the side of your base. They are compatible with some Battle Belts, but if yours doesn't have suitable loops it shouldn't be a difficult problem to solve. We're really talking about a length of webbing here.
The rear hub of the harness is elastic to suspend the weight and provide pretension. Adjust the size and amount of loops to your liking.
Finally, run the waist strap from one bottom corner to the other to secure the lower edge of your rig. The waist strap has a "Siamese" Slik Clip and elastic loop at one end (use whichever you like) and a split-bar buckle in the other end.
Specifications
The package includes the harness itself, Side Release buckles for the rear straps and waist strap, and a Slik Clip + elastic cord for the other end of the waist strap. Front attachments for the shoulder straps are not included: you'll find them on the pouches and placards already.

Pros are that it's easy to assemble and set up with an open-ended design for multiple panels for multiple weapons. Light and flexible. Even better for me is the joint customization with the Särmä PC18 plate carrier's front panels. The shoulder straps have good PALS cuts for further accessories and pouches (tourniquets for my rig).
Cons are few if any. The elasticated cords might not be the most attractive to some, but they're solid and replaceable. Shoe strings could take their place if need be.
I'll probably update further after I run it through it's paces should anything new come up. So far, Im impressed.
