Great Cummerbund

Been running the Equinox for about a week now. Once it's set up correctly it's incredibly comfortable. I've read online that people say that the Equinox is less supportive than the Crye SPC cummerbund. I can't speak for an incredibly heavy 30-40 lb load(MAYBE the Crye does better for that), but I loaded mine to 25 lbs and wore the SPC for an entire day and experienced minimal fatigue on my shoulders. The cummerbund when tightened supported most of the weight, and the shoulder straps just kept the setup from moving for the most part.

That said, I do believe AXL should remake their tutorial on how to install the Cummerbund to the SPC on YouTube. The method they showcase on YouTube requires setting the plastic clips into molle and letting them pull the cummerbund tight against the plate bag. This is bad for several reasons, first is it offers poor support, second is if you are between sizes it requires one to set the left and right side assymetrically. Instead I used the provided shock cord and tied them together like shoelaces, which allows for a tight but breathable fit. The configuration on the tutorial did NOT provide adequate support for me.

After all is said and done though I love the Equinox. I am betting it would still offer great support with heavier loads than I've tried, and the selling point is of course the tubes.

They are very robust and easily put together, if they also offer significantly more options than my previous cummerbund.

Terry Vanatta

Really comfy and versatile cumberbund. I was able to switch my velcro cumberbunds out on my duty vest, and these are far superior. Great buy! Just make sure you get the conversion kit if you're purchasing for a duty vest rather than a plate carrier.

Structurally sound

Leaps and bounds better than your run of the mill cummerbund, gives the entire plate carrier structure.

Was shipped and delivered relatively quickly being a made to order piece. Fits absolutely perfect on my ARC V2 and is a huge improvement over the original cummerbund. Super rigid yet comfortable and aids in spreading the load around the carrier rather than it all riding on my shoulders.

it has its pros and cons but does what I need/want.

Amazing Upgrade

Added this to my issued MSV in place of the original cummerbund absolutely makes a night and day difference

Ridiculous fulfillment times

Your guys' fulfilment times are insane. My last two orders , which were not too far apart , took multiple days , even to be fulfilled.
I had to order a Velcro radio insert from Amazon because who knows when my current order will be fulfilled.

Hey Good Afternoon Andy,

For our shipments, in the order confirmation email it is stated that we typically have orders shipped within the first 3-14 business days (depending on the seasonal que). Our overall goal is to get orders shipped out before the 3 day mark but our recent que's have been heavier.

While having your shipments be sent out within 7 days (5 being business) isn't our preferred timeframe we are working to get that que shortened.

AD Use with MSV issued system

Fantastic durability, adds structure to the MSV, makes it far more comfortable and fitting. Good in long patrols and long kit runs as well. Retains specialty weapons as well without flopping around, things like the 320, Mossberg 500, and radios.

super rigid, feels like it took 70% of the load off my shoulders. upgraded from the 3 band JPC cummerbund and its night and day.

Equinox Cummerbund on Spiritus LV-119

Can’t say enough about the equinox. Just like other products from AXL it greatly improves the end user experience. Going from the standard three band to the equinox added just enough support and regality to help disperse the load of the carrier. I’ve ran it slick, as well as fully loaded and it the difference is noticeable. Will see how it does once I add side plates but expect to be equally as impressed.

Shipped very quickly and the gear I ordered is higher quality than I could've hoped for. Thanks guys.

This is the stuff.

Installed this on my Crye spc and have nothing but praise. This cummerbund makes my rig feel far more comfortable.

Rigid and Reliable 2-Band Cummerbund

I’ve run most of the common 2-band cummerbunds on the market, and this one genuinely stands out. The rigidity isn’t just marketing — it actually carries weight without collapsing or twisting, and it keeps its shape even with side plates, radios, and pouches mounted. The versatility is also a major advantage: it interfaces cleanly with AVS/JPC setups, accepts different attachment patterns. Definitely recommend

N

Super structural cummerbund

This cummerbund is actually structural unlike others I’ve tried in the past. It helps disperse the weight better, allowing for the carrier to be worn more comfortably.

Great piece of kit

This cummerbund has a great rigid frame and awesome modularity. Highly recommend. This works perfectly with my JPC 1.0

D
David Sieler
Reliable so far

Added a lot of rigidity, I usually have an aid bag on my back that covers up most of the options for extra storage on my back. This has been helpful since I was looking to add some real estate. Depending on what I’m doing, it holds the weight of bangers, frags as well as side plates in the case I’m rolling heavy. All around they’ve been a solid upgrade from my OG elastic cummerbunds. I’m 5’ 10”, 190lbs, the small/medium fits well.
