Just got mine. Now I need some advice. Should I get a pre made panel from esstac, or go with a plain panel and a bfg tenspeed triple?

I went with the Esstac 5.56 front panel mainly because it added less bulk than choosing a molle panel with pouches attached to that. |

My molle one + bfg ten speed is a little thick, and the ome thing i don't like about ten speed is putting mags back in them. The pouches from esstac really are great. Easy in and out, and they can collapse under pressure with no mag inside. |

If so hows it work. |

Do you need to call for the light version? I have a set of "10x12" plates and run them in a large SAPI carrier but there is a bit of slop (but they are too big for medium SAPI carriers).

http://i.imgur.com/XmtH5uts.png But what if I prefer most everything about the light, but would like to have it basically be a full fledged carrier, molle on the back etc. Which buns are't compatible or do you just mean larger as in larger sized buns. Is the hydro carrier compatible or no? I really dig the narrower straps, more centered straps, shorter body, just the overall smaller footprint. I already have an APC & was looking at stuff a little smaller than that, JPC, DA Spitfire etc for, like you said, a throw & go rig in conjunction with a belt. This really seems to fit the bill, but I'd like to have the options to plus up with side bun armor & possibly side plates if needed. Does this work? Is that doable with the light?

I prefer the ESSTAC Tear away Med pouch or any Tear away Med Pouch and a couple TQ's. Tear aways are Waaaaaay.. easier to work with from a PC. Other than that, maybe a small/medium Utility pouch and Hydro of some kind. The only other thing may be a radio pouch if you run comms. I wouldn't add to much more than that really. cp |

I was thinking of using the ATS small pouch for the med insert and using Molle stix for it so it can be quickly removed. Not "tear away" but close. I'll most likely go with esstac or pig hydro. This particular rig is civilian based (my work rig is pig) so my vhf radio fits nicely in that ten speed pouch you see in the pic. I put a tac tailor fight light double mag pouch around my left side toward the back just so I can load a couple extras if need be. Tqs will be put one on the med pouch and one on my support shoulder. Next step is get it dirty and see what does or doesn't work.
