I’ve been using the Ricci ankle kit for years. The first one lasted a few years but newer manufactured models are lasting a few months before the Velcro fails. I do love the concept though and the Ryker is on my list as a replacement. I keep a Celox Rapid bandage, double chest seal, CAT TQ, and pistol mag in mine. It also helps balance the weight of the G26 on my other ankle.
When I wear shorts I typically go without a TQ but am always keeping my eye out for new kit and ideas. I do keep some Rat TQ’s around as they are said to work better on small children and dogs. I have carried a SWAT-T when in shorts but it’s not my favorite TQ for its lack of easy one handed application.
Oh and regarding the “ankle monitor” look referenced here... maybe we need a thread on pants that work with ankle kit? I tried buying new suits last year. The current trend of that tapered leg made it look like I had giant tumors on my ankles. The idea of having complete custom suits made doesn’t make me happy.
