Random thought when reading the opening of a trashy military sci-fantasy novel. The writer goes on at length in first person POV as the main character about how they can get smaller/lower than normal while belly crawling because they ditched some of their gear.
I had an idle thought about the potential ergonomics of canteens, ammo, etc. on the sides of your lower abdomen. No actual, practical experience with any of this to be clear. I can see how this would limit real estate and I’m wondering about load distribution, balance, and such.

Looking at pics of vests, looks like some designs to use the sides as pockets but yeah the majority of them don’t seem to have them. I can think of two reasons for this. First one being that it makes the most sense to place the clips or straps to tighten or losen the vest from the side. Second, when handling your gun it’s always going to be in front of you, weather if you’re aiming down the sights or if it’s just hanging by your chest. Either way your hands are going to be on the gun almost all the time. Moving your hand from your gun to your chest pockets is much quicker than if you were to move them to a side pocket.
