At least when it comes to civilians, tactical cummerbunds, as well as their uses in operations, are regretfully overlooked. In all actuality, a cummerbund is not only something to make your plate carrier fit better, but can extend your tactical capabilities on its own. There are three main advantages that a good tactical cummerbund can bring to the fold:
  1. Better mobility
  2. Extended protection
  3. Multiple attachments
But, the main advantage of modular tactical cummerbunds is that they don’t need to bring any of these features if they are not necessary. Mobility can be achieved with a relatively simple skeletal cummerbund that weighs next to nothing and doesn’t encumber you in the slightest. The fact that this little piece can add so much to your gear optimization is why they need a special place when considering your mission layout. You can opt for more protection, or decide to have your dump pouch attached to it, which is the preferred position for most operators. Those in the market to buy body armor for sale, regardless if it is for military purposes of for civilian uses such as hunting, can find models that will fit all vests.

How to Select a Cummerbund?

Best cummerbunds are elastic and will neatly grip your plate carrier so that it presses down on your body just right, and they are also quite cheap. You never want to make the bund too tight, as that will restrict breathing with a hard plate, but you don’t want to have slack. For ‘’pocketed’’ models, the place for a side plate will be detached from the elastic itself. This might seem a bit flimsy when not on the body, but is the perfect way to ensure both protection and comfort. The leeway is there to allow you to breathe even when running. When picking out a cummerbund there are three aspects that you will need to consider. Primarily, there is the weight you will be adding on. A skeletal bund is just a piece of elastic string wrapped around in a durable fabric like Cordura® that won’t rip. This makes it as light as possible. But, if you will attach hard plates to the side, that will increase your overall weight significantly. Even light Level III+ models will add a couple of pounds that you might not need. Not to mention the gear and holsters on top of them. Once you know your weight restrictions, you should focus on your comfort. The way the chest moves in this area is tricky when it comes to design because you never want to restrict your diaphragm from moving. Make certain that it is comfortable. Also, make sure that the camo fits the rest of the setup. Finally, with modular options, it is easy to optimize your bund for the mission and take the attachments that you need. Combine this choice with the first two and you will have your answer.

Skeletal Cummerbunds

Although this can be considered the basic model when it comes to tactical cummerbunds, the reason you would pick it is not simply the lack of need for something more. The small weight itself is a feature and there is the advantage of adaptability to what is underneath. Namely, you can use the cummerbund over any type of clothing, making it ideally adaptable for civilian operators or suddenly dangerous situations. The strips of the skeletal cummerbund will allow for any type of fabric to be underneath it and will serve the same purpose.

Elastic Cummerbunds

This might be a slight misnomer because all cummerbunds are elastic. The reason why people call long strips this way is because the elasticity here will be very visible for anyone. They will form into wide stretches of fabric, usually with modular loops on them. The main advantage of these cummerbunds is the ideal comfort. Regardless of your body type, and even if you have some injuries on your ribs, the bund will grip comfortably. Additionally, they allow you to attach gear to the side without armor, which might be the perfect compromise for the mission you are aiming for.

Pocketed/Modular Models

These are the biggest and most complex models of cummerbunds, often called modular even though elastic bunds are modular as well. Their advantage is the large pocket on the side used to hold a ballistic plate. Pocketed bands are the army standard when it comes to both the army and the navy, as well as foreign troops like the Brisish Royal Army. They might be significantly heavier than their smaller counterparts, but the benefit of lateral protection of vital organs is often mandatory for a mission. Not only are there zones your center of mass and thus targets for rifle fire, but a piercing injury here from explosive shrapnel can also be fatal. For anyone who is at an increased risk from such attacks, the increase in safety is well worth the weight.
