Soldier AAR Comments
- The main advantage of the equipment was that it provided an improved platform to carry the required ballistic protection equipment, while providing spinal support and correct alignment that is nonexistent with current body armor carriers.
- Another advantage was the unit’s ability to accept carious types of MOLLE accessories with its adaptable mounting system.
- The added weight of the unit is not a factor, the ability to provide the ballistic protection required while reducing fatigue and potential back injury, was far more advantageous than saving a few ounces on weight.
- The frame was easily adjustable, which quickly provides a custom fit to the user, without tools or additional equipment.
- This product will save a lot of operators from developing back problems that are caused by loads that are placed on the body by the current equipment.
- The system is a manageable weight. Although the system is heavier than my RBAV, it feels much lighter when worn because the weight is distributed better. The inner frame holds the weight in place, preventing the system from slumping or moving up and down or side to side.
- Once the system has been fitted to the user, it remains tight and in place while also allowing for flexibility. The straps and connectors did not slip or loosed during he trail. With the flexible cummerbund, the system stays tight without limiting the soldier’s breathing, movement or flexibility.
- The Archangel System offers many advantages over the current system while still being compatible with them. In addition, the system offers much needed back support with an increased weight carrying ability, all while providing the necessary ballistic protection.
