Here's a related question: Do people have a preference for belt order style webbing or assault vest/chest rig type arrangements?

My personal preference is for webbing, though when wearing Osprey I attached my pouches directly to the vest for ease of carriage. I have several different issue vests, and all of them stay at the back of my locker where they belong.
The overall feeling in the British forces often seems to be that while assault vests are obviously excellent for operating from vehicles and the like, any time you are likely to do any kind of foot operation, the webbing comes straight back out.
Even the PECOC programme that is revamping all our personal equipment and clothing is sticking with a belt webbing system as the primary method of load carrying, although the pouches will be compatible with the body armour system.
