What are peoples thoughts on this? Do you really want to keep gear off your legs (and use a belt instead) or could dropleg platforms be another option for lightweight loadouts?
In my opinion subloads make no sense for low drag loadout.

you want light and low profile.. why would you bulk up and encumber your legs?

Add to this the fact that everyone that I have even known to loose a pistol in the field was running a thigh rig.

Here is the priority of loading...

Pockets - belt- body- pack

Subloads ( thigh rigs ) make sense in CQB where transition to a Secondary is frequent and urgent.. and where crawling / prone positions are less likely.

A light low profile chest rig ( 3-6 mags ) is your #1 friend if your are going low drag... and want the best bang for your buck..
