I've been reading this thread now for an hour. I just want to thank all of those who have posted pics and their experiences. I've been carrying in an Alien Gear hybrid for a while now. I'm not sure what happend, may have been that I've lost a ton of fat and put on 20 pounds of muscle, but the more I use it, the less I like it these days. I'm 5'11" 175-180 now (but 30 inch waist) so now looking at the AIWB options and something else that I can wear from 3-5.
