Out of the blue, I was
given this PC, with
zero strings attached. No
quid pro quo whatsoever. First item of gear I ever accepted. Since I'm no longer Sr. Staff, it seemed OK. Had some offers while I was Sr. Staff, but refused them. After some back-and-forth, I wound up with a large CB PC.

"Well-made, that's for sure. Minimalist, but one can add-on Mil-issue side and DAP armor pouches, if desired. Extremely tight fit for my Lvl IV ceramic plates, but slimmer plates might not be a problem Added front placard is probably a must, and that, too, is well-made. Accepts III-A soft armor no problem."
It's of apparent good quality. Very little searing/burning of threads required. Wide elastic Cummerbund is attached, front and rear, by velcro, so there is potential substitution, if desired.
As can be seen, a placard is required as a base for front pouch attachment.

Credentials: I have a couple of iterations of LBT 6094 PCs, and am very familiar with the GI OTV.
This gift wound up costing me some money, as I bought some III-A soft armor inserts for it as well as some soft armor inserts for some DAPS I had lying around. Already had side armor pouches, with included soft armor inserts available. Placard was a no-brainer.
GI Side Armor carriers look like this:

So, now I have a low-profile, configurable vest/PC, finally. Something I can wear inconspicuously.
