Suggest a garrison belt

A friend of mine - retired Marine and current deputy - is having some back problems. He's using a 5.11 version of a wilderness tactical belt as his duty belt I would like to get him a garrison belt, and probably some Tac plates to help him.

Any suggestions?

No. Not even a bullet proof vest.

Why is his back messed up, if I may ask?

Yeah - he's rather stubborn. I might give h a copy of an Egoscue book, but I don't know if it would do any good. I might see if I can get him to go to a yoga class with me, but he is a stubborn cuss.

Yeah, stupid is painful. So is stubborn. People want an "expert" to lay hands on them and eliminate the problem that's taken years to develop instaneously -- a magic bullet. Heaven forbid they should brush, floss and take corrective measures for their posture compromised by too many hours, days, months, years sitting in flexion.

maybe a youtube link showing a couple e-cises for backpain. Sometimes that gets through.
