I have been going back and forth...could keep the flatpack or hydro on it amd when want to run covert just swap to slick back...no jeed to undo molle etc. I also rigged up a quick doff strap for the shoulder...did some testing it works perfect. Just fold the shoulder strap on the inside so the end is coming back out (but still in the carrier)...added a nylon strap that runs flat under the shoulder pads with a D ring or similar on the end to grab. A quick hard jerk peels the shoulder stap out and peels away from the velcro releasing the entire shoulder strap from rear plate. It works similar to on the jpc2. I can get the entire set up off in seconds with a helmet on. debating on doing a perminant mod or not, which would just be a tappered end with a loop so i could add remove the strap as nessissary. Ferro could just make them that way for no addiction cost and sell a "quick doff kit" with a strap and - ring... i should call and tell them  Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Heineken:

I'm really loving this thing. It fits great and is comfortable and doesn't get in the way. Unfortunately I have no way of going shooting with it or anything like that right now...but I can't wait to do so. I went with the skeletal cummerbund (I liked it a lot on my Crye AVS) and am using a Micro Fight Chassis Mk4 with a rifle mag insert, 2 pistol mag insert, and half flap.

I need pics of this. Also, the thing with the MOLLE is that I like using the flatpack ICW my Spiritus as an unarmored patrol kit. I could run the armor slick and put the pack/rig over like I used to back in the day. But I like options. The shoulder strap is attached as normal but then the end is folded up and back out the shoulder hole on the rear carrier...webbing is run un under the shoulder pad (or could be folded and kept in rear plate bag, but it would be a further reach to get to the end to pull it). Here is a pic of how it would be inside the rear plate bag. 
The end is tapered to limit snagging, and I would use a multicam material and webbing so you don't even notice the strap running under the shoulder pad. 
The end you could use a D-ring, paracord, or attachment of choice. 
Then you pull... 
As you pull it is pulling out the end of the shoulder strap peeling it off the Velcro and then it releases. Velcro is super strong but when you peeling it back in this manner is peels away and comes off without over stressing the seams and threads holding it on. 
Here is my lame sketch...if I do it I will just have the strap attached, when not in use just leave the strap in the carrier....if someone wanted to make it really nice it would have a hidden loop to attach the strap via g-hook or something so strap could be removed.

T3 Geronimo quad release in custom Ohio camo
 . Weighs 16 pounds with 3 loaded mags and front/ rear plates installed.
Having buckles, rather than Velcro, makes it much easier to put on and to take off compared to most carriers. It's real easy to install and it's consistent every time. Having the ability to pull a central lever and all four buckles release is very nice also. You simply connect the four buckles back together and it's ready to go again. Very impressive carrier. I live in a forest and I wanted something that was truly camo and could be thrown on over other gear and blend into my surroundings. Everything is dead at the moment but when spring comes I should blend in nicely. The American flag would obviously be removed when I'm ready to disappear  .A good start

I'm new to the plate carrier game, looking for an entry level minimalist carrier that can accommodate a few 5.56 mags, a med kit, and a light. Armor will come later. Small and light is the name of the game, leaning towards a Ferro Concepts Slickster. Anything else I should look at?

Warrior Assault Systems carrier with HSGI pads and a Spiritus radio wing for the BF. No padding between your body and the plates so not the most comfortable but very low profile. |

What's the recommended hydration solution? I dont see a lot of people using hydration carriers attached to the plate carriers. Is everyone just putting that in their ruck?

I have a source bladder in my Flatpack (refer to one of my previous post)I can carry that as an assault pack or stand alone. If I'm on a static range, I'll bring water with me. I have a dump pouch on my belt that I can chuck a small gas station water bottle into and be good for a string of fire. |

I have a Source bladder designed to go in your rear plate pocket. That allows me to run a slick back and still have up to 3L on me.

Some people may prefer to carry everything on their carrier rather than using packs and that's when it makes sense to have the bladder on the carrier. That's just my personal opinion, I would do whatever is most convenient and easy for you. |

Finally got my mess sorted out and initially started out with Spiritus Mk4 on a Slickster. I still have the MK4 an use it but I threw an Esstac Daedon Front panel. Much more low profile and I feel like I just kept adding junk to the MK4. I still use it but it's too much for a slick carrier IMO. Loving the Slickster though.
