Most (not all) of us are going to two-part belts like TYR or Ronin or a lot of guys have to be able to carry rucks, which you can't effectively do with a big battle belt. I have my AVS stripped down similar to the JPC. It's a little less comfortable because the bungee is between your back and the plate but it's not the worst thing in the world. It's an 80% solution until I switch to the JPC. |

I now have a new rig to keep in my truck. http://i.imgur.com/HzQoin3.jpg http://i.imgur.com/kdtHj43.jpg I picked up a blackhawk front only chest\plate carrier on amazon for 18 bucks. What's the consensus on lightweight front only setups? https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XRM8J0G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I think I have a line on a ceramic plate so I'm mainly just curious on standard load outs. I'm thinking pistol mags, a flashlight, a knife and then a small med kit. I want it to be compact enough to wear under a jacket or hoodie this winter. |

One thing I did notice was that LBX sells a version of the LBT 6094. Other than the fact that the LBX is out together overseas, is there any real difference between the two carriers? I am looking at the LBX version of the 6094 because with the money left over, I can also buy the Armatus 2.0 Your thoughts? I bought a LBX 0300 and returned it. 0300 skimmed some of the things that make LBT 6094 such a great carrier, eg, cummerbunds. The 0300 cummerbunds don't have the internal storage pockets. The material used for the bottom flap on 0300 is also lighter / thinner and is single stitched onto the plate bag. The whole thing just looks like a cheaper version of 6094. If you are considering LBT 6094, you might also want to look into Eagle MMAC, which is pretty much an identical copy of 6094. EDIT: Eagle was contracted to supply MMAC to SOCOM in 2012, so the prestige is there. I would get a GEN 2 6094, for it accepts swimmers plates, which are lighter. LBT 6094 ( swimmers )

Crye tried too hard to do too much, too fast with the AVS. I know who is using it. A lot of guys just don't care enough to spend money on their own shit. The harness doesn't really benefit you in any way and just makes assembling the thing more complicated. Where the front "arms" of the harness slide into the pockets under your front plate, you now have an awkward feeling, thick strap running across your chest/stomach without any real benefit. The shoulder straps had a habit of disconnecting themselves and are now sewn onto the front plate bag, a quick fix Crye had to do for units buying them. I don't know if the civilian vests have this mod. Most guys that give a fuck are buying their own JPCs because they're simpler, thinner, and lighter. The only real complaint with the original JPC was the fixed mag pouches and there's ways around that, too. In the end, we bought the AVS without testing it because it was assumed anything Crye would be the new hotness. Now we regret spending $828.74 on each one of these things. The couple I have seen made in 2015 have tack seams instead of just single stitches. |

It's an 80% solution until I switch to the JPC. You are the one with real world experience with AVS, so this is for people who just got theirs or are considering getting a Crye AVS. AVS plate bags have velcro loop on the body facing side for attaching pads. One can arrange the pads to either create a channel for the bungee or level with the bungee bulge. I also use a rubber tube to push the bungee knot outside of plate bag surface. I have worn my AVS up to three hours at a time. For me, the pads plus the rubber tube solves the bungee digging issue 100%. The pads also create space for air flow. The difference is very noticeable, especially when compared to LBT 6094, which gets hot after about five minutes.

I just got some new stuff in yesterday...I took advantage of LBT's Rirst Responder deal, got the guardian plate carrier (0094D) with CAG 4S17 level IV plates, and a pouch/go-bag kit.
Pouches on the vest currently are (L-R) a flashlight pouch, medium utility, and two single pistol mag pouches. The other pouches not seen on the vest are two double m4 mag pouches, one single m4 mag pouch, and a medium med pouch (I have a separate med/trauma grab bag so most likely I'll just put a CAT on this vest and use the GP for cuffs etc since I'm plain clothes and no duty belt). I got it as a throw over in case of, god forbid, any active shooter situations in my AO, or for a real SHTF situation (because obviously my issued soft level 2 will not cut it against rifle ammo). All that's missing is my "SHERIFF" patches, but now I have to get some new ones, as the ones on my current vest are blue not black. |

Question for you guys running the PIG. Do you find that it is too wide?
I'm used to the banshee style of plate carriers with 6 columns of PALS on the front. The PIG has 8. Do those of you that run it find that it's too wide in the front? For measurements I am a typical "medium". 5'8" 170lbs and I typically wear a 32" pant (sometimes smaller) Would the PIG be too big for me? I'm worried I would be swimming in it. |

Here's my work in progress. Mayflower APC (gen 1, thought it was fake due to only have two rows of loop MOLLE on the bottom), Haley DC3RX with some forgotten level IV plates.
Still need hydration, want a flatpack, waiting on the med pouch to get here, and I'll probably ditch the Tactical Tailor admin pouch.

Does anyone wear the High Ground Gear carrier? This company seems somewhat unknown. I didn't see any mentioned in the past 40 or so pages I just went through.
The plate carrier offers some great routing, ability to attach pouches on both sides of cummerbund, etc. 
I was looking for an RTO pack for my guys about three years ago since the Army really doesn't issue anything that holds a SINCGAR in place like they ought to. HGG sent me one of their JTAC packs to T&E and it was pretty stinking awesome. They do some really innovative stuff and its all US made. 
One of the coolest things about their packs is the quick change waist belt. For those carrying first line setups, this allows you to slide in a structured waist belt into the padded sleeve for the pack, and then you can unhook that belt and slide it out when dropping the pack. You can detach a second belt from the pack as needed and slide it in. In my mind, its the kind of thing where the second belt has something like a butt pack on it for a day's worth of sustainment. Drop pack that has 3+ days when you need to go light and then grab the butt pack insert. All other pouches on your first line would stay attached. But it keeps you only wearing one belt at a time while still supporting pack weight on your hips. ETA: you can see in the pic where the extra belt insert goes over the top of the pack, and where the built in one installs into the sleeves on the padded hip belt portion. Also, you can see the start of the zippers for cable routing on the shoulder straps. There are outlets at more than one spot for the hand mic, bite valve, etc. to come out of the strap for use. Also, you can see the bulging bottom pouch there they integrated rain cover is sewn in. Its tan on one side and orange on the other. I probably sound like a shill at this point but i just seriously love how feature laden their stuff is. Its odd to me that they don't seem more popular. I just grabbed a PIG for 25% during their post election day sale before remembering to check High Ground. I may have to toss the PIG on EE and grab this one instead. |

They have another 3-day pack, without the SINCGARS flap, which looks really nice, too. |

Will depend on the hydro size and plate carrier. Most of the PCs are a tight fit to avoid wiggle. Maybe if you don't have a soft armor backer. Plus side is it will have nice feed pressure all the time. Downside is that it's gonna break the second you hug a wall or even bump something weird. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By CrazyWhiteGuy:

That, and, depending on the brand of bladder, it'll drive that hard plastic hose connection right into your back all day long, even if it doesn't break. That shit will get old quick. |

I tried out their 152 single hand drop down pouches for a while, but I didn't like them. The concept is really cool but it is impossible to get the radio tightened down enough so it doesn't flop all around. |

Hey Guys I Have a Plate Carrier from Eagle Industries it's an Arid Multi cam pattern. Seeing as how it is impossible to find any pouches in that pattern. Anyone think it would look good it I threw on Multicam pouches? otherwise I might just end up spray painting the dam this Tan and just go from there. I would post a pic, but the web page is acting up...
I am only asking because I have yet to see a plate carrier that is Arid multicam with the standard multicam pouches |

Specifically, how you attached the new cummerbund in the back. Is it held in place only by bungee cord? I'm trying to decide if I want to upgrade my Banshee or not. Thanks in advance! |

I will try and get some pics, but the first spear cummerbund was probably the best upgrade I did on the carrier. It bungees together like a normal cummerbund but has more size options and gets a way snugger fit than I got with the banshee plus Velcro setup. Being able to throw it on quick and have a tight fit that isnt bouncing around and uncomfortable really makes this a better setup. I know wish I would have just sucked it up and went full First Spear everything with a Strandhogg
