If you prefer not to wait and would like to cancel your order or receive an alternative shape and curvature please let us know.

that cobra buckle looks really handy in taking off the pc. much better than opening up the front flap and ripping off the velcro.

I don't worry about removing it...my worry was putting it on. It takes 75% less time when putting it on, and it is always the right tightness. I also own a TYR PICO, and I cannot put the cummerbund on without removing the magazines from their pouches. The Bushido plate carrier is much more efficient.

I think they are a great company that deserves the gun communities support. but those shipping costs are ridicules. |

just make your own. takes literally 20 minutes of time and 5 bucks in material. industrial hook and loop. 2 feet of 1" webbing and some buckles.
Y'know for the terribly unimaginative lol. lol i wont post a total DIY but ill post some pics so that they can get the idea. I took hook and loop, sandwiched two strips of 1" webbing in it(3" of spacing between them to match the molle on the comberbund) then sewed all around and boxed stitched the webbing. for the buckles i used ITW nexus repair buckles and just hooked the female buckle to the cumberbund molle and folded the rest over, trim the extra webbing for the buckle adjustment and your good to go. ofcourse this is a real quick explanation but you get the point. this is on a banshee plate carrier using the traditional front flap hook and loop closure. <a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/user/stealthcammo1/media/Mobile%20Uploads/work/IMG_20140420_213312_572_zpsqazo0roz.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/stealthcammo1/Mobile%20Uploads/work/IMG_20140420_213312_572_zpsqazo0roz.jpg</a> <a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/user/stealthcammo1/media/Mobile%20Uploads/work/IMG_20140420_213343_893_zps1tjela6d.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/stealthcammo1/Mobile%20Uploads/work/IMG_20140420_213343_893_zps1tjela6d.jpg</a> <a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/user/stealthcammo1/media/Mobile%20Uploads/work/IMG_20140420_213417_516_zpsroyhfa3r.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/stealthcammo1/Mobile%20Uploads/work/IMG_20140420_213417_516_zpsroyhfa3r.jpg</a> <a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/user/stealthcammo1/media/Mobile%20Uploads/work/IMG_20140420_213444_760_zpscv0s8bi9.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/stealthcammo1/Mobile%20Uploads/work/IMG_20140420_213444_760_zpscv0s8bi9.jpg</a> I applaud your inventiveness but I would let the forum know that the KDH plate carrier uses the same system of buckles. Within a short amount of time of wear they will loosen and start to fall on your hips. The PC will be loose and need to be repeatedly tightened. FUCKING SUCKS. Most of you might not notice if your PC only gets limited wear, but it will be the bain of your existence for long wear. Tape or sew them together? Tape doesnt work and leaves a mess. Sewing, I think, would be impossible to adjust. That may work for some folks, but I know my weight fluctuates 40lb in calendar year at times. |

Judging from the military-style handles they have the igniter that's on the BATFE explosives list. Look up Sport Smoke, their Battlefield model is absolutely ferocious in output. The Enolay Gaye EG-18 appears to put out less smoke in the same amount of time but is available in a multitude of colors. Sport Smoke sell USA-made pouches for the grenades. |

Yes, these are department. Photo is for fun, i wouldn't carry these around. Have not used the sport smoke but looks decent, couldn't hurt to own one or two. only one knife, its a cheap folder i had, still thinking about what one I want to attach. The black thing in the pouch is a multitool. |

I've had my PLATEMinus for a couple months, but the weather's been shit or I haven't had time, so I haven't really run it through its paces. The only things I have on it are a Ten Speed 3 mag pouch and a TQ Now! with CAT. Either way, I love this carrier. |
