I have carried about 60lbs in it but most loads have topped out at 40 during backpacking when water was needed to store up on. I'm just referring to the weights some have put on it and website shows it is raited at much heavier loads than I'll be carrying. I don't have experience with any load weight other than a load for backpacking. The belt for me is more comfortable than my Kifaru duplex as a reference. I don't prefer a lumbar pad if the belt huggs you and stays in place like this system does. But I can appreciate the use of a lumbar system as that is what I am most familiar with. Only being familiar with the lumbar system is what caused me to be pleasantly suprised at how much more comfort this wrap system was over the long period of pushing say 13 miles in a day.
