Ok, a couple of things. First off, as a Marine who hasn't put on combat gear in 20 years, just let me say i think things have definitely become a lot more complicated looking at the rigs. I'm sure that is good and bad, but the plate carrier has definitely got me interested. From the looks of things a lot of the rigs are set up for smaller guys. Does anyone know what rigs would lean more towards say, a powerlifter instead of a runner? 5'9" 230, and i would hate to drop a large amount of cash to have something that didn't fit. Thanks in advance.

Plate carriers aren’t going to cover your whole body. Look at some of the jacked Rangers and SEALs who wear them m they look tiny on their bodies. |

Been slowly working on revising kit, in the past I've worn the SKD PIG, Mayflower APC, LBT 6094, Eagle SPC, and issued lbv type kit. So this is a nice change for the better, I don't LOVE the slickster, but it does have its valid points. This is a training/class, home defense, range kit for the time being.
- Ferro concepts slickster with standard elastic cummerbund, ferro turnover 556 elastic mag insert, no shoulder pads - Haley Strategic hanger with IFAK - Team Wendy Exfil Ballistic

Finally looking at setting a PC after years of considering it. I am 6'0" and a stocky 300 lbs. I say stocky becasue while I could be in better shape I am not obese and can do my job as a firefighter just fine. I have a longer torsoe (wear 2XL Tall shirts, 38/40 W pants) and broad shoulders (50-52 jacket). I understand that PCs will be sized for the plates and I don't want to go too big. I am leaning towards a LBT 6094 fit for large plates. In my research XL plates are hardly ever recommended. For plates the Midwest Armor ProGuard IV plates. Advice appreciated!

Also, spend some time figuring out the cummerbund size you'll need. Last thing you want is to buy a carrier and plate that both fit, only to have the cummerbund run out of adjustment range. |

Rethinking, removing, repurposing. If 4 30 round mags don't do it for this fat old man, you might as well split up what's left of my gear. I'll be dead. Removed the twin pistol mag pouch - doubt that will come in handy. Tourniquet pouch is gone until I find a tourniquet and get proper training on how to use it. Rear medical pouch is gone - it was empty and I couldn't get what was needed to fill it.
 Attached FileNow to get an actual IFAK for that practically empty "medical" pouch. Maybe some real plates, too, instead of ancient AR500, so old they have no coating... All the pouches I've been removing - I have enough to outfit another plate carrier now...  now for a minimalist rig for the BREN 2...

Some youtube videos and "not as tight as reality" practice with it at home should be sufficient to "train" on how to use it. Decompression needles, etc, may require a bit more in depth instruction. lol

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By dafro: Thanks for the info, ill pay a little more to settle my impatience. Is molle worth the cost? Don't all their back accessories mount with velcro? @skindroid None of their accessories work without the Molle back plate bag. If you don't get molle, you can't use the zippers, you can't mount hydration packs, you can't really put anything on the back other than patches. My personal suspicion is that when they initially designed it they were going with fabric PALS webbing (hence the older front bags using webbing for the swiftclips), and opted against back webbing to maintain the low profile. When they went to laser cut (like the current molle rear bag), which adds zero bulk, they liked the additional options it opened up, but kept the slick rear as a cheaper alternative for people who absolutely never want to mount anything to the rear bag, and so people who purchased in the past don't feel bad that all new version have molle and theirs doesn't. I wouldn't get the non-molle rear bag at this point, even if you don't plan to use it right now. It allows you options later. |

Slowly building my set-up. Spiritus Systems Overt plate bags, Mk4 when set-up to run my AR, but I also have inserts for Scar 17 Mags. I also have a DC3RX to run AR mags or AK74 mags, but it’s pretty cumbersome with the sides of the rig hanging off the sides of the plate bag. Also attached is an issued IFAK, SACK, dump pouch, and I’ve got a pouch on the way for a baofeng.
I’m still trying to figure out the rear bag as far as some storage. Would like to run a HS Flatpack, but I’m not sure it’ll be very secure since there aren’t any molle loops on the bottom of the bag, and I haven’t heard anything about what Spiritus intends to develop for the zippers which aren’t compatible with JPC zip-on panels   Attached File Attached FileDon’t know why this shit gets rotated. |

Yeah tubes are nice if you go with a molle style Cumberbund, I want a low profile cobra style Cumberbund if esstac ever starts selling things again. Having to lift the Packard and mess with all that velcro to put on or take off is lame and wears out the velcro eventually
