Of those three? Mayflower APC. Especially with the new gen shoulder straps. Carrier sizing is based off of plate size. Which plates are you looking at / do you have?

I went from a SOHPC to an APC primarily because of the swift clip feature. The APC also has a build in kangaroo pouch.
SOHPC is a solid no frills PC, but I wouldn't go back to it. The AWS PC looks good but I have no experience with it. |

I don't have plates yet, but would imagine I'm a large? Are the 10x12 plates considered large? I will be looking for a shooters cut anterior plate...just not sure if I need a 10x12 or 11x14. I'll probably do either the same or slightly bigger for the posterior I plate.
Does the Mayflower have hook & loop on the front, top Molle for patches? Not a huge deal, but I do like to represent the Flag on it! Seriously entertaining the Mayflower, but the AWS looks decent and is regular price less than the Mayflower on sale. I just want something solid... |

I agree with everyone else. Mayflower APC. Love mine!
Yes, sir, has Velcro, and the Swiftclips are the shit. Use mine ICW Haley D3CR. But Mayflower and EGL make good placards, as well. EGL actually makes the Haleys. Watch Highcom, AT Armor, and SKD for a good deal on ceramic plates on Black Friday, hopefully. I would go shooter cut, multicurve 10x12's. Good luck! |

I measured 10-11" wide nip to nip, and 16" jugular notch to belly button...would I go with a L/XL or S/M? I'm around 40" at the naval, so going with the small cumberbund.

I have the AWC PC and like it very much, for the money, a good deal.

Cummerbund too. I'm confused! Based on the info on SKD for the Mayflower APC sizing, I should be a S/M for both?! This is what the information says on SKD for the Mayflower APC: - If you measure 34-44" at the navel, you should try a S/M APC with a Small cummerbund - If you measure 42-52" at the navel, you should try a S/M APC with a Medium cummerbund - If you measure 43-53" at the navel, you should try a L/XL APC with a Medium cummerbund - If you measure 49-59" at the navel, you should try a L/XL APC with a Large cummerbund |

My only complaint with the APC is the amount of velcro on the cummerbund. It's a giant pain in the ass to don or doff the carrier. I have a First Spear cummerbund on order so we'll see if that alleviates my concerns. |

That is proper coverage for a plate carrier. The S/M APC will fit Small / Medium ESAPI or Swimmer plates. 10x12 plates are not a military measurement for plates. SOS |

SOS I measured 10-11" wide nip to nip, and 16" jugular notch to belly button...I'm typically run about 38- 40" at the naval. So, given my measurements I should go with a S/M PC? Small or Medium cummerbund? Is this pretty standard across plate carriers, or only for the Mayflower APC? Thanks for the help everyone! |

The chasis for the APC and almost all plate carriers depends n the size of the plates. By your measurements I would say medium to large plates or 10x12 plates.
The cummerbund is based on your measurements. According to your size you are the S/M1 cummerbund for the APC. SOS |

So, medium to 10x12 plates would need the S/M APC, large plates would need the L/XL APC...then a S/M1 cummberbund...got it! |
