Not when the canteen is from 1962... though I reckon it's more of a health hazard than not.
So yeah, it is partly about the LCF, though it allows me to separate what I need for the next few hours from my clothes and whatnot stored in my pack wherever I'm staying. The vest also pulls triple duty, used outside of cadets for airsoft and paintball, and works decently so far.
The mag pouches annoy me to no extent though. For most things besides carrying mags, they're great. But for mags... I've had to resort to keeping them unbuckled and using the buckle as a handle of sorts to open the pouch, before getting to the issue of pulling the mags out. I always wonder why the quick access webbing strip in the 82 webbing (You know, pull the strap and the mag comes out) didn't make it over to the tacvest...
