Same color as khaki pants, Carhartt jackets, and doesn't stand out either on top or underneath a lot of other colors. It's not my favorite but it is a really good choice and what I'm rocking.

I had about $500 of M04 in my cart the last time I ordered from Varusteleka, but had to cut it down to just some good wool stuff and choco-kiola.

Flektarn is for my area according to that camo map, but I never see that either. Multi cam is best for a place with very low population density. But GWOT style is in right now

@RuKuS
They offer the bleeder in molle or horizontal belt mount configurations. All I had to do was detach that side of the cummerbund and slide it on.

I'm thinking this might be a good location as I typically don't take hard hits on that part of the cummerbund. Also, the TQ creates a little standoff space if I were to roll over in the prone position.

Desert stuff that still has some green in it is pretty good for central and west Texas.  I could see TN being a lot greener.  Tropentarn is a little light for my area so I liked the M04 since it was a bit greener.

BTW Source Tactical still has their hydration bladders on cheap clearance in Flektarn or Tropentarn.

I always do want a good camo that's not "military".  Until 2002 or so that WAS Multicam. It's nice to have all the military-aimed gear around in Multicam, but I do miss the exclusivity a little.  I have a bunch of Rhodie stuff but it's gotten too high profile lately too.  So these days I'm trying to find stuff in PennCott Badlands or increasingly DevilDog pattern.

This might be the only one with Flektarn options now, they used to have the smaller ones too.  It has a pattern selector that has the Flektarn options but it doesn't seem to work.  But basically they were clearancing out this German stuff for pretty cheap.

I feel like an idiot here, but Ive never done much with plate carriers before. I have a SKD PIG carrier and I put some Esstac midlength AR pouches on the front. The PIG is split down the front middle, with each half front flap folding down over the ends of the cummerbund. Everything is held in place with velcro. Flaps, cummerbund, etc.

The mag pouches are retaining so well that before the mags come out, it's unhooking the velcro on the flaps and the flaps are coming partially undone.

Am I making sense?  Is there an easy obvious fix for this?

Pics might help. It sounds like the flap velcro is worn out; if that's the case I'd tie em down or cut them off and get an AXL-type adapter.
If you can go without it for a while I'd look at getting the velcro replaced on those flaps.

What are the best ways of carrying an M7 or M9 bayonet with full tactical loadout? I picture a lot of the time I'll spend loaded up seated in a vehicle, and I'm not willing to go to a more compact knife, as I think bayonet capability will be crucial.

Velcro shouldn't be worn out; I bought it new a couple years ago and it's basically sat in a box since then.

Flap open on one side.


Cummerbund velcroed in. I did notice that if I slide the cummerbund to the right (from this perspective) by an inch or two so I'm not wasting flap velcro on molle, the issue gets a good bit better (which makes sense) but I don't think it goes away entirely. And then my cummerbund is loose.


Flap closed.


Trying to remove mag; here's the issue: velcro coming undone. Also, hanging off the bottom right, you can see a webbing strap with a snap on it that will help secure the outer corners if needed (which doesn't help the inner corner, obviously).


I can think of *maybe* two three things to adjust:
1) buy a slick side elastic cummerbund. They look like they have appropriate velcro to make this work and still stay snug, but then I lose the side molle (not that I'm using it right now, anyway).
2) raise the pouches up a row of molle so they have less "leverage", if that makes sense. Is this likely to work?
3) go back to Esstac and buy a three or four mag pouch (instead of the two + one I have) so as to spread the load more when pulling mags. Per their webpage they don't like doing returns . This is what I get for trying to be smart and making use of the split flap to make it easier to put on and take off.

Ok now I smell what you're cooking. I'm not familiar with this PC but the velcro just needs more surface area to secure to up front.
If you have some loop side velcro laying around, you could weave some into the part underneath the flap for this purpose as a quick fix.
That's what I'd do before replacing anything.

Kywi pouches can be a bit tight when they're new, especially with Pmags. You can leave a mag in the pouches for a while to help the nylon stretch and the kydex to re-shape a bit; leaving it in a hot car can help with that. The more extreme option is to use a heat gun to gently reshape the kydex to lower retention slightly.

Start a thread to discuss it then.

But I think that even though your thought process has good intentions, it's flawed. Bayonetting someone and shooting someone are both lethal or deadly force. IMO if you're going to cross that threshhold, why do it with an inferior weapon? Also, who isn't going to take you seriously with a rifle in your hands, but suddenly going to take you seriously when that rifle has a bayonet attached to it?

I've started threads about bayonets before, and participated heavily in others. I don't want to clutter up a tech thread talking about the why, I was just wondering if anyone had suggestions on the how.

It's a fairly long thing to have hanging from my belt. From the times I've tried getting in and out of my truck with it there, it gets in the way a lot, or I end up sitting on it. I wanted to know if there are any good options out there to mount one directly to a plate carrier and not leave it dangling.

I'm not sure this is true, the psychological differences have been noted quite a bit.  Interesting to think how the Kyle Ritterhouse(sp?) situation may have been different if he had a bayonet, would the attackers have been so eager to close to contact distance?  I'd much rather have a shooting match than a grappling fight.

Patton had a quote:
I beg leave to remind the {Cavalry} Board that very few people have ever been killed with the bayonet or sabre, but the fear of having their guts explored with cold steel in the hands of battle maddened men has won many a fight.

So anyways, if my rifle or shotgun has a bayonet capability, I want a bayonet available.  But it is a pain in the ass, especially the larger ones like M1905 or old long Enfield ones.  But I don't have plate rigs to go with those rifles, so the bayonet can be attached to the shoulder bag/bandolier and not be too in the way.  For the PC make sure your bayonet replaces the fixed blade knife if you do that.

I've literally got a roll of coyote velcro one-wrap in the other room *specifically* purchased to weave through molle... for battle belts.

And it doesn't occur to me to use it for this. Sometimes I'm a dumbass.

I'll give it a shot.

@PFran42 ended up going w the tactical tailor offering. Maybe this isn’t the right place for it but what are your thoughts on the UV-82 vs the UV5R? I picked up the 82 in addition to the 5r because I found I would accidentally turn on the 5r as the knob is very sensitive

Molle scabbard on the back? Thats the only thing that would probably allow you to still do your thing with it not getting in the way.
