An honest review of the Arktis Smersh
Hello comrades!
So... usually when I review something, I typically put the product through its paces first, before I can give a solid review. To put it simply, this rig has been absolutely perfect and has been very good to me. However there have been a couple hiccups that are lil bit concerning if you are looking to use it for prolonged periods of time...
SO, there are only a couple minor negatives about this rig that I have had so far, that of which being stitching, and a buckle. The first thing that caught my eye was the stitching on id say the most important spot on the entire rig, THE BUTTPACK. There are two D-rings that are on the back and towards the top of the buttpack, and of how ive known to properly attach the buttpack is loop the shoulder harness straps through the D-rings on the padded belt, and then the buttpack D-rings, that way it'll hold the top of the buttpack close to the belt without the pack bouncing around and sagging down more than it needs to. Now, because of this, ive noticed the stitching on the nylon loops that secure the D-rings to the buttpack have begin to stretch over time and while under load, and the stitching on the far sides actually ripping apart. This poses a problem because one would assume after a lot of prolonged use, and maybe some abuse, that can be a failure point on the buttpack and its load bearing capabilities.
The other hiccup that happened to me, was specifically the smaller waist buckle that holds the magazine pouches in…
