This is great. I have a 5.5x11" soft armor panel that will slip right in. Now I just have to see if the harness will cinch up to ride high enough to cover vitals. I know it's not a perfect solution, I have a plate carrier but I really like the idea of something this light for hiking and this fits the bill to a T.

Got my Haley Strategic Flatpack Plus. Really happy with it so far. Only used it to hang up a game camera and carry a camelbak walking the dog so far but it's just what I wanted. My initial reaction was - if this is the Plus, I'm glad I didn't get the original. It's still small but it's a useable size, I wouldn't want it any smaller.

So long as I'm not doing vehicle work, the Tyr Tactical med pouch is fine, but it's way too bulky for anyone that is in a vehicle all day.

Love those Spiritus System rigs!
Here's my contribution: (Active Duty 11B that is lucky enough to be in a unit that allows plate carriers, just so long as they fit our plates and all required gear is accessible) Crye JPC Tac Tailor 3 mag on top of the built in crye 3 mag ATS tactical Large GP Pouch- holds my PSQ20A's and mount when not in use, wrapped up in a fleece cap HSGI Mini radio pouch- depends what I'm doing, usually holds small binos or chem lights/markings/batteries/multi-tool Coyote Tactical Solutions STOMP (Slim tear off medical pouch)- newest piece of gear and I'm loving it. Holds all of my necessary IFAK items (NCD/combat gauze/tape not pictured) and can be removed for use. I don't have to worry about it falling off or getting snagged, same goes for the attached TQ. Rifle is a cmmg in sniper grey with vortex sparc AR, BFG padded sling, BCM grip, and a Streamlight Rail Mount 2 Comms are Comtacs, 9/10 plugged into a 152 Now to find my radio pouch and bladder carrier...

Alright, Ive been following this thread for couple months now, seeing what ideas people had, what to avoid, what to do right, etc, and I think I've come up with a kit worthy of being posted on here, so let me know what you all think!
I guess we will start from the top and work our way down. So startingwith the helmet, it's just an ACH I cut the side covers off of to fit the rails and some Peltor Comtacs underneath, without paying a ton for an ops core helmet. Additionally, there is a retrofitted Norotos Rhino Mount on it with a Bushnell Equinox Z Digital Monocular to use as night vision. It's a little heavy, but gets the job done. |

Next comes the body armor itself, which is a Crye JPC with AR500 Swimmer Cut Level III plates in it, as well as Level III side plates. 
Theres the front of it (and my feet). I didnt want to place a lot on the chest because that gets really uncomfortable when you are in the prone for more than an hour or so. CAT Gen7 on the chest as well, and a few pens, pencils, etc in the admin pouch up front. and yes, I did weave my sling through the shoulder pads and clip it under my hydration carrier. actually helps to lift some of the weight off your back by pulling it up from the downward pull of the rifle. Also, HSGI shoulder pads. SUPER comfortable and dont ever slip. 
Next is my personally set up back panel. it consists of an SKD PIG 2L Hydration carrier with a Tactical Tailor 1H pouch on top (contains, batteries, chemlights, throat mic, etc) , and a 200 round SAW pouch on the bottom (has protien bars and beverage powders for a 48 hour supply). I took some shock cord and barrel clamps on the sides to pull everything taught so there is no flopping around of empty pouches, and keeps the whole thing nice and slick too. 
Here's my left side. Has two Tactical Tailor double M4 pouches, which usually sit empty unless I need the extra mags. Additionally there is MY IFAK (a Tactical Tailor Universal mag pouch) which has shears, tape, Israeli Bandage, and Quick Clot, all for me to patch myself up with. 
My right side sits nice and empty for the most part. Just a Tactical Tailor Hard Case 85 for Eyepro and a USMC Flashbang pouch for my radio (you can see the cords running along the side) |

Next comes the War Belt. Just an Eagle Industries Padded Operator belt I've been using for while now. 
Here's the left side. I'm right handed so all my mags are either centered or on my left side. Got my Mechanix Mpacts on there (best gloves ive ever tried) about 30m of 550 cord in a TT Flashbang bouch, a TT triple mag shingle with two pistol mag pouches on the outside of it, a TT multitool pouch for my Gerber, and another TT Flashbang pouch for my 20 round mag. I keep a 20 rounder for prone. A lot easier to aim with a bipod. 
Next on my right is my Blue Force Gear Trauma Kit NOW pouch. Fantastic aid pouch. I keep everything I will use on anyone else who isnt me in there. Extra shears, chest needles, quick clot, tape, two Israeli's, an extra tourniquet, etc. Next is my S&W M&P9. I have it in a cheap Condor holster for now, which works well enough, but im learning how to do kydex molding and will hopefully have something a little better here soon. Then furthest out is another TT flashbang pouch with a compass and headlamp. two essentials for any kit. |

Here are some of the rifles (and a shotgun) I use with this kit. From the top is a Remington 700 in .308 with the Magpul stock and mag conversion kit, and a Burris 4-14x scope on top. Next is my Colt LE6920 with a Vortex Strikefire II. After that is my DPMS Oracle .308 with a Bushnell AR 223 1-4x scope on top. Last is my Remington 870 with a Barska red dot on top. To top it all off here is a look at how it all fits together on me. (I know the back is a bit different in these pictures. I just redid it recently) Let me know what you all think and I am completely open to any suggestions! (clothing is Massif Combat shirt and pants, and Garmont T8 NFS boots)

Remington Andrews, please turn your links into photos.
Get the link where it has no background and just the photo, then put a [ followed with no spaces an I and an M and a G and then a ] in front of the link (with no spaces when the www starts either) so five characters total. Then put a [ followed by a / then a I and a M and a G and a ] all with no spaces at the end of the link (with no spaces after the link itself either) so a total of 6 characters. Your photos will appear on the pages here, instead of links that no one will be dedicated enough to view. |

I did go through and put them all in that format, however they still did not work, but I am fairly certain it is because of my post count. When browsing through some of the forums about how to post photos I came across an admin say this
"Just about every picture you guys have posted is showing up just fine. The reason you are not seeing them, is do to your low post count. All images posted by members with 50 or less post need to be approved by a Team Member or above. Once they are approved, they should show up for you just fine, but they are showing up fine for the rest of us." So im thinking I just need to get my post count up or wait until an admin approves them. Thanks for the help though! |
