K, when driving in an armoured vehicle the driver will only be wearing their body armour an a hydration pack(if they want it). If you have to get out in a hurry or you got wounded an your buddies have to get you out you do not want to get caught up in the driver hatch because your kit is getting caught in shit, etc
Wearing a chest rig, tac vest, etc is not worn
Now something like a CIRAS is a plate carrier that allows you to attach pouches onto it. Which is not a good thing for a driver of an armoured vehicle. A driver will need a seperate rig to carry their kit because it's something when worn while out of the vehicle not while inside.
And a CIRAS isn't something that will be very good when worn over the CF issue body armour.
