I have BFG splitminus I'd like to wear over it. Would like soft and hard. Saw Velocity Systems Lo Viz which seemed great, but it looks like they don't sell the matching armor to normal people anymore.

Suggestions welcome.

In this thread, the OP is asking about armor carriers capable of holding soft and hard armor inserts, not just PCs.



OP, and specific preference to the cut of the soft armor?  Looking for actual concealable type carriers or just lower profile?

Thanks for pointing that out. Yes I'm looking for something that holds soft armor and plates, but is otherwise is as slick and no frills as possible (no MOLLE or internal storage). I point out I'll be wearing a harness over because I don't want anything so bulky that I can't wear a harness over.

Concealable under at least a light jacket would be ideal. If I have to wear it I don't want to stand out. I mention the LoViz because a friend had one it was hard to notice with a sweater over. For the cut of armor, I like BALCS because it's common, but I'd ideally like to still be able to draw from a belt holster at 2.5 o'clock, and it seems like BALCS will hang down to your gut. I don't know I don't have any experience with armor. For BALCS this is probably similar to what I'd like:

Paraclete LVBC

Some others I encountered:
215 Gear
First Spear Sleeper (I don't like the mag pouches or the price)
Mayflower (The Mayflower cut seems like it's a bit more free than BALCS)

Blue Force Gear PLATEMinus. It's very low-profile, and, as you are aware wth the SplitMinus, it's really light.

Hit up vel-tye, their hugger armor carrier is great.

Why are people suggesting plate carriers when OP asked about Armor carriers?

I like my Mayflower LPAAC. It's cut higher, and the soft armor ends right above my navel. The LPAC has no molle.

Beez Combat Systems carriers, best I have found.

The Eagle LBAV is nice, but essentially unobtainable as they haven't made them in some time.

Wasn't there a thread about Beez quality recently?

Seems like Beez' QC has been slipping lately.

That involved them telling the OP to go fuck himself, when he continued to have issues, that were pretty well documented by the way?  

The only way I would buy a Beez, is if I could order it from Botach.  That way, I would be charged for it, but never actually have the pain of getting it.

I have a mayflower low profile assault armor carrier that I picked up at a good price on the EE. No plates yet but worked good for Carbine classes I have attended

BALCS and ESAPI are not compatible with "Low Profile" or "Low Visibility."

This is older AIRSAVE, size large (42-44 chest).  It has the general profile of BALCS with over-the-shoulder armor.
