For those of you that don't know what MAS grey is, and why it was designed..

LBT stopped producing MAS a few years ago and recently began their section called "Doug's Trench" which I suppose is going to be a section of Rare/ Throwback/ Limited Run color and camouflage patterns. Pretty cool if you ask me...

After seeing MAS, I decided it was a great choice for my environment, as it blends well with nearly everything around. I know it is not multicam, and doesn't necessarily blend as well as MC. With that said, I will be wearing this in an urban environment. I also chose the color because I like it.. end of story.

What this thread is designed to do is give you a few photos concerning the current production color MAS Grey by LBT, as well as answer a few sizing questions regarding the 6094a vs the 6094b. I will not be doing a review because there are dozens of reviews on the 6094 out there, and ALL of speak highly of this rig.

Upon receiving the plate carrier I initially thought there was a mistake, and I was shipped Ranger Green by mistake. This vest was a lot warmer in color than I anticipated. I grabbed a hat I had thats ranger green (one of the many variations) and it quickly quelled my concern.

I chose a few common items to compare the MAS grey with.

Next I took the PC outside and took a few shots.

This is the Appalachian region of Tennessee, and MAS surprisingly blended very well overall.



MAS has a gray tint, but green is still very prevalent, which is good, as I found wolf gray and UDE to be almost too cool. Outside is dirty, and even in the city, new pavement quickly browns and loses its blue-ish tint. Warm colors seem to be more natural.



I tried including many different backdrops, in an attempt to get the most accurate depiction of the color.

Here is a comparison of natural river stone, concrete, and dirt.



Some have said new MAS has went away from the greenish tint it used to be to become a darker, more smokey color. This is not true.



Against brick.

Today was overcast and I thought MAS would perform best in this color range.


Now I will be wearing this in conjunction with a soft armor vest under the PC. I am 5"11" and about 190 lbs. This vest does fit perfectly with my soft armor underneath. If you are smaller than me, I would suggest trying on both a L and a M before buying, although I have heard the sizing only pertains to plate sizing. Note: there are currently no plates installed.


I can however, guarantee this vest is too large if you are a 5'8" , 125 lbs and female.  




I am very satisfied with both the color and craftsmanship of this vest.

I love MAS Grey. A lot more utilitarian than Wolf Grey-- remember that comprehensive article that Milspec Monkey wrote about the different greys? Seems like MAS Grey would be a solid answer in the quest to find the perfect "grey".

I didn't know milspec monkey did an article about it, you have a link?

It wasn't an article about MAS Grey in particular, but kind of running through all the various greys on the market and what he thinks would be the "ideal" shade, which he seems to believe Elephant Grey/Fauna is one of the ideal ones for urban use. MAS Grey looks like it's similar in terms of tones to Elephant Grey (without being as "blue" as Wolf Grey).

Awesome read. Thanks for the link.

Here's mine with a Tactical Tailor 3 day plus and HSP d3cr in ranger green.

I have a question about fit... How well does yours cover your back? With two medium lvl IV plates and IIIA backers in mine, I find that the rear rides a bit low, about 3" below the base of my neck.

I have tightened my shoulder straps to where my fat head sorta has to squeeze through. So it doesn't ride as low as you're saying. I'll also be wearing this rig OVER a lvl IIIa vest, so that ma have something to do with it.

ETA mine is also the B model, made to fit large esapis

Me neither. It truly does adapt to different light. Much like ranger green.

Can't wait til lbt makes pouches in this color.

I should probably give that a go and tighten mine down further.

Mine is a medium, but fits large plates as well, so I had considered putting a large plate up front to redistribute the weight and bring the rear plate higher.

Nah more mags is your answer lol.

The shoulder straps should fix your problem tho.

Thanks for the report,

and tag

LOOKINUP

I have an LBT-2595D assault pack and a couple pouches in MAS. I really like the color. works well with ranger green.

What pouches do you have in MAS?

I'm a huge ranger green fan...MAS and RG are two of the best colors ever made.

6065C (m60 pouch) and a buckled NVG pouch but I don't rememver the number.

Want to come off that m60 pouch

I have that problem w/ my pig PC. Tried adjusting a bunch but couldn't get it to ride higher in the back.

 

Talk about Gray man..lol...I have a 3 day mas grey pack..blends in well for the urban
look...

The beauty of maritime grey is it  blends well with nearly anything

am I color blind? That looks brown

No, that's how it really looks. It's not like other manufacturers' greys.

Does anyone make pants in MAS grey?

It's in the EE already actually

Pm a link please

Interesting. You need to stop posting in this thread. You'll make me spend money I don't wanna spend

Blame it on the color, not me!

Appreciate this thread, I am a MAS fan as well, although I don't have any yet. Would love it if this became a pic/action thread. More combo pics of MAS and Ranger Green would be great too.

A little MAS grey plate carrier in action:



I agree, though, pics are pretty tough to come by.

Just gotta use the right wording. Not too hard to find.

Last pic is ranger green. Your other mistakes have already been pointed out.

Your search abilities are severely lacking.

This is airsoft

Roger that, but that still isn't MAS grey. It's a sage color that is too light for MAS grey.

Well I suppose it is harder to find than I thought lol..

But on a side note Vans shoes did make a MAS grey pair of shoes....

They even paired with LBT to make them

I wish these were still around.

There's a few pairs on ebay right now.

Some MAS goodness here...

It looks like a PCU level 5 jacket.  It probably didn't do well with the sparks.

More pics...

Full load out sans rifle

Tactical phone holster?

Basketweave

New pics of more MAS goodness I've found.. some are LBT promos of shoes

Eta I'm pretty sure those are all MAS

I have those shoes.....they're pretty sweet

Why is it so hard to find them in 11

Bluewater Defense makes MAS grey pants and combat shirts. I cant find any online store that carries those...just 200-300$ listings per piece on egay.

Ouch. Seems a little expensive, I wish more people would make MAS

ETA
