TAPs chest rig straps are by far the biggest negative straight out of the box.
As anyone knows military surplus and gear is the cheapest, functional option. These straps are a great example of that.
They are super thin and flimsy. There was a purpose and reason because this set up as is was meant to be used in conjunction with other PCs, loadouts, and rigs. Thin straps typically are because you can use them under other pieces of clothing or gear.
The other immediate issue I see even without it being loaded up as a full chest rig is one single point on the sides of the carrier.
With weight I can see the single point not being sufficient to be able to comfortably keep it in place.
The Krydex H Harness strap set may be one of the easiest cheaper solutions to convert it to a better set up with two points on each side of the carrier. Along with thicker more comfortable shoulder straps.
As is, my stock harness straps are adjusted all the way up as far as they can go.
