@esstac- does the new version of the Daeodon still have the same stretch panel in the rear for adjustability? Have an idea for my ideal cummerbund.

I'd love to have velcro for patches and other attachments, but then I'd end up making it into a 6094 with a lot of stuff on there. If I get one. might have find a way to fix, the way those shoulder straps ride overlapped like that on the front, it's not slick enough for me. Might not be a bad PC for me to try out, where did you get it and what did it cost, are you happy with it? BTW what size plates are those. just what I need since XL swimmer look very tiny on me |
|
|
This is for wear underneath clothing, not for mounting gear to, covert is key. This photo is their swimmer specific carrier holding 10x12 plates. I ordered this one from OP Tactical.

To answer your other question, I'm super happy with it, I got this for a specific purpose and it fills that niche perfectly.

@GSDAK47 Thank you!

Originally Posted By Lancelot: @AZ_SBR That's just about perfect. How does that cummerbund work? View Quote Thank you! It's the standard JPC 2.0 cummerbund. What I've done differently is run the slick backing/female Velcro panel on the backside of my Spiritus Chest Rig but use the AXL Advanced Chest Rig Retainer on my cummerbund to maintain tension on the chest rig against my plate carrier. The net is I reduce the wear and tear of the Velcro that the back of the Chest Rig normally interfaces with on the cummerbund ends (and doesn't really have a full purchase on anyway due to the don/doff handles), can still remove and insert magazines easily without the chest rig moving around (I was pleasantly surprised this worked!), and can easily swap my chest rig over to the Spiritus straps without having to remove buckles, etc. I mean, it's not as cool as tubes, but it was a nice in-between compromise IMO. Pros Back of chest rig doesn't stick to everything Less wear and tear on the female Velcro face of the cummerbund ends Chest rig stays in place better than it does by just Velcro alone--especially since the entire surface area isn't fully utilized Cons Need to unclip four buckles before you pull the straps on your cummerbund to exit the plate carrier--making it slightly more complicated to remove under duress |

Thought I'd share an interesting observation I made while doing some back-and-forth with a custom gear manufacturer. I am basically trying to get something similar to the Shaw Concepts ARC Placard V2 made in AOR2. I have an Eagle MMAC and an LBT 6094 that I removed the front flaps from and I'd like to just be able to slap a placard on the front.
Key request: Placard that allows me to run 3 mags with Esstac Kydex inserts, secures a TQ on the bottom and allows Tubes to direct connect to the placard. Observation: By converting to the above, you are essentially deleting up to 8-11 layers of material (once you account for the layers added back by the placard): - Hook side Velcro on body side of LBT-6094 front flap - Inner Cordura layer of front flap of LBT-6094 - Loop side Velcro on interior of LBT-6094 kangaroo pouch - Hook side Velcro on interior of LBT-6094 kangaroo pouch - Outer Cordura layer of front flap of LBT-6094 - PALS loops on exterior of front flap of LBT-6094 - Hook side Velcro on the interior side of the First Spear Tubes male attachment panel - Inner Cordura layer of First Spear Tubes male attachment panel - Outer Cordura layer of First Spear Tubes male attachment panel - Outer facing loop side Velcro on First Spear male attachment panel - Hook side Velcro for TQ holder (normally inserted under front flap of LBT-6094) - Inner backing layer for TQ holder (normally inserted under front flap of LBT-6094) - Outer backing layer for TQ holder (normally inserted under front flap of LBT-6094) - Loop side Velcro for TQ holder (normally inserted under front flap of MMAC) That is a lot of material!

Just got AVS plate bags super cheap cheap. I have an AVS detachable chest rig already, so looks like I might be going down the road of the full AVS ecosystem.
Too much time doing chest at the gym means I needed to upsize my JPC cummerbund, so I just ordered the Crye stretch cummerbund for the JPC 2.0 and a 2-band cummerbund for the AVS. Need a large harness and quite a few smaller misc pieces. Ill have the JPC setup as a basic carrier with front and back plates and placards as needed. And the AVS as a heavier setup with front, back, side plates, and any other equipment I could use. So if anyone needs a MC S/M 3-band cummerbund or ferro wingman pouches hit me up. |

Thank you! Figured maybe the Medium SAPI would be good…would be giving up a half inch width to get a half inch length. Not sure which would be better.
Now it’s whether I do the RMA 1092’s or Hesco 3810’s? Any opinions? The cost difference is ginormous! |
