Some decent/middlin' deals currently available. MAKE SURE to scroll down a bit, and click on the various links to find other deals/kits currently available. FYI, the LBX pack is made overseas, as is all the LBX line of gear. I haven't examined any LBX items yet, but I would guess they are almost certainly high quality, although the failure to mention any sort of warranty on such items gives me pause. Perhaps LBT will educate us on this topic someday. At any rate, enjoy. Some pretty good prices on some of the kits, and the 3-Day Pack is certainly worth the price. A frame sheet for same is easily made with 1/16" HDPE sheet from Grainger's. Why LBT doesn't offer such as standard equipment on the full-priced pack, or as an option on the sale pack is a mystery to me. The sustainment pouches offered in UCP and ABU camo patterns can be dyed, if desired. They make great shaving kit/ditty bags, but only if you need them as such, and the other stuff in the kit is useful to you.. They won't readily attach to anything of which I can think. By now, you probably know I have a love-hate relationship with LBT. They make great quality stuff, but at MSRP it is totally overpriced. At 50% off, it begins to be reasonable. Have fun, and make sure to rummage around the site for potential bargains.. |

$250 for the 6094 is solid, and $129 for the MC Loadout bag and the modular vest with the pouches is a (IMO) very good deal.
|
|
They have about 150 carriers.
If you're going to buy, buy it now. |
|
Quality absolutely worth it, especially at half price.
Grab 'em quick if you can. |

Finally got around to ordering a 3 Day pack from them from today's email... Been dithering on that and missed out several times in the past year or two.
Sadly, the NRA Line of Duty discount won't apply. Ah well, for 75$ shipped, it seems a good deal still. I did get the load out bag with the LBX backpack a few months ago, the LBX pack is imported, good construction though. It is not useful for me as an EDC pack our tactical type pack, but it makes a great laptop bag for travelling. The pocket setup doesn't lend itself to any non-tech load out. I expect the LBT 3 Day pack will find use as an EDC pack in its place. I bet they'll put one of the light 3 Day jumpable packs up cheap soon and get further into my wallet. |

Raf, I ordered the 3 Day MC pack this morning. Any idea if it is 1000 denier cordura or the 500?
Either way all the reviews sound great, just wondering about durability. Thanks |

Thanks for the replies. All my blackhawk bags are 1000 and still look new 4 plus years later after a washing so I'm glad to know this one should done the same.

Is it free shipping? The 3 day pack was the one I'm interested. Looking back I think they had they for $40 in February I like the color too |

those rolling bags are WELL worth the 99.00 by them selves. i have 3 and paid that just for the bags on other deals. tossing in the vest is a killer deal.
the day pack is a marginal deal. they typically sell the solid color versions for 40-60 on sales. |

ugh i have the cash for the PC... idk if i should pull the trigger

ugh i have the cash for the PC... idk if i should pull the trigger View Quote I have the releasable version of the same PC, bought for 1/2 price some time ago. Front and back have separate compartments for plates and soft armor backers. The sides of the cummerbund will take 6x8 soft armor as-is, but the top flap of the same compartment is expandable upwards, and will just take a 6x8 hard plate plus 6x8 soft armor backer. The kangaroo pouch is pretty large (wide) as such things go, and will accept a 2x3 AR mag insert, or a 3x1 M-14 mag insert. Cummerbund is adjustable via grommets in the rear, and has Velcro and stretch material up front, so you can breathe. Construction and materials are first-rate, as one would expect. Shoulder pads are comfortable, and will allow attachment of most Deltoid/Upper arm soft armor pouches. There may be better deals out there, particularly on used gear. I don't know if there is an example of better quality/materials available, though. Buy once, cry once. |

I'm looking for a new piece of check-in luggage for air travel that won't exceed the size limit and that black rolling load out bag is calling my name...but the fact that it's 14 pounds empty is kind of a decision killer. Maybe someday they'll have the two-wheel version in black on sale...
|
|
it's not nearly as heavy as that sounds. it's HUGE and it's on par with a comparable rolling bag from anyone else.
like i said it's HUGE |
|
|
For those with the Medium bag, are there slots for you to add your own padding? I noticed that these don't come with them, but their other load out bags do. If so, I figure I'll just take one of the old Army sleeping pads and cut it up to fit to add some structure to the bag.
|
|
i have 2 of the mediums. the one without the foam looks like an older design than the one with, but both have the pockets to install it.
|
|
Well I pulled the trigger. Multicam medium with the patch :) Hope it works out

In on the MC pack. This is the third LBT sale I am participating in. My wallet wishes these sales didn't come as often. The gear whore in me loves them.
|
|
anyone think I should buy 2 more, a CB and MC one, and sell them for higher profit when the sale ends? lol

Anyone else that ordered just a 6094 get their shipping email yet? I just got mine a little bit ago and it says shipping weight is 30lbs. Seems a little on the heavy side for a measly PC?

LBT has an agreement with fedex that PCs weigh 30lbs for flat shipping prices b. LBT fucked up and included plates. |

I certainly wouldn't complain if they decided I needed some free plates though. |
|
My MC pack is saying 10 lbs. So I would also guess its flat rate shipping. Or they are sending me a full bladder with my order.
|
|
I picked up the MC 3 day pack last time. Shipping said it was 5lbs. Not too far off from actual weight. Makes me wonder if I'm in for a surprise with my plate carrier.
|
|
Mine said 30lbs as well haha. I almost shat myself. I thought for a moment," I know plate carrier are heavy, but not that damn heavy." Then I realized I was being stupid haha.
I might take the multicam back for a coyote brown one.... I even contacted sales and said I could do so. Should I keep the multicam or go to coyote? |
|
Don't get too excited with the 30lb shipping on the 6094. I got the same thing a few months back, too.
No free armor. |
|
goddammit, In for a 6094. I always end up missing the big LBT sales and I figure if I don't like it I can recoop on the ee.

Buyer's remorse. When he finds out how well the thing is made, he'll be happy.

Fed Ex guy dropped my MC pack off today. Considering i chose the free shipping option that was crazy FAST delivery.
|
|
Does anyone have the extended day ruck from LBT? Want to get one of those also if they go on sale again for 80 or so bucks.
|

just got the MC 6094 in today. Holy balls this thing is just gorgeous! IDK if i should keep it or go coyote :/ lol

Well, you can only wear one at a time. Might be time to cull out some gear. |

Wow this 6094 is very nice. Carries my ar500 plates so much more comfortable than my grey ghost gear minimalist carrier did. Nothing against it, it's a minimalist, but the LBT makes the 20 lbs of plates bearable.
What mag shingles is everyone using? I'm thinking about some taco carriers. |

As for the mag shingles - I'm keeping the front low profile, going to put the kangaroo mag pouch in the kangaroo velcro thingy, probably a couple of double mag pouches to the left of that, right side will have a GP pouch for NODs and an IFAK |

Thanks for the replies. Definitely going to pick one up if they go on sale again. Hoping for multicam as all but one of my other bags are black.

|
Does anyone have a recommendation for front/rear soft backers for the 6094? I have SAPI plates (large), and 6x8 side plates with backers (from the recent group buy).
|
|
you can call LBT to buy specific backers but they aren't cheap.
