ETA on Plate Carriers? (Page 1 of 2)

Before I end up purchasing an Agilite or other brand, is there any ETA on plate carriers? I'm in the market for one ideally in MC Tropic (I know, don't hold my breath, wish in one hand, hell freezing over, etc etc.) but I'd settle for Woodland or basic MC if those were my only options. |

Trying to decide how much I'm willing to spend to save weight but I know based on being a short ass that the large would sit at my navel. The double curved 10x12s and medium SAPI stuff seems to measure out the best. I will buy whatever plates will fit the carrier. |

Probably talk me into buying something else btw now and then anyways |

But if the plates fit I can do one of the new carriers @esstac- I just reread this and am curious about this "new carrier" you speak of, I don't recall hearing anything about it. I'm hoping you do find the time to recover from the "sale" and get one together, I'm calling dibs on it in advance, I am ready to be a smooth larperator that can stop looking like concert security and beging hiding in the woods. |

Look through this post. Shoulders still need attention, or not. And how front panels will attach will be different As soon as I have time to finish it.... |

I love seeing the evolution of that carrier, it looks awesome and I find it interesting to see how much thought goes into the function of every piece I also like the idea of non-permanent velcro and elastic since that shit always wears out. Being able to run it slick as an option is very convenient. Those Hesco 3810s are starting to call my name and my wallet isn't happy about it. I'm about 10" nipple to nipple and roughly 15.5" sternum notch to naval, think a large shooter cut would work for me? |

I'm hoping for a black Friday sale so I can snag plates, carrier, pouches, belt, etc without totally shredding my wallet. Or your could just call Stu and ask him for the price. If I were you I would do that. I am me and I have done that. I recommend it. |

I sent him a DM because I didn't want to interrupt him knowing they're slammed from the "sale" and I'll give him a few days to respond. If I don't hear back do I just call esstac and ask for Stu and tell whoever answers its Fuck Joe Biden 24/7 calling?

As soon as I have time.... Carriers will be finalized Still have angled pouches and shotgun card things burning a hole in my brain to dick with Some stupid rifle bag and breacher bag needing my time Shitload of GP reworks needing time And I forgot about working on the diaper bag and hoho machine gun bag ... Fuck Anyone have a time dilation device I can borrow? Maybe I'll just say fickit and go to Vegas for hookers and blow |
I'll throw down some duckets for those hookers and blow, for an update on Daeodron Medium in Wolf Gray w/ Med ROC availability  Just wondering when I can get an order in... I'm committed to Esstac for this carrier so, no threats about going somewhere else. Btw, absolutely love that new carrier design you're working on. That's going to be a huge hit. I'd pester you for one but, I will be recycling an Unobtanium SLED placard into this new gear and it doesn't look like it will work. Keep putting out the good shit, folks |

I ordered an XL and I should have ordered a Large. Mine is on its 3rd hot wash/high heat dry cycle now to try and make it wearable vs staking it out as a tent. |

Long in the arms, tent like in the middle, and squeezes my lats if I reach forward. I contemplating exchanging for a large, but I think that would be too small at the chest/shoulders.

I have never gotten anything from G clothing wise that wasnt goofy fit as all hell.

My ears are pretty high on my head so their hats fit me pretty well. This jacket is the only thing I've bought from them as far as clothing, although I have about 20 of the shirts they sent us for Cola Warrior runs. |

Just curious. I gave my Daeodon Medium to my son after getting mine. |

I just opened the files yesterday. Made a few tweaks and made norcals Was allot of head scratching trying to figure out WTF I was doing with these a year ago Made a new bun for it as I never gave that any attention the first go and just recycled the regular daeo's bun. Much happier with the tactik buckle. The carrier itself won't get much for changes. Need to decide if I am going to stick with the hinged front panel. Loose true quick qd but I like it. And play with the shoulder pad/wrap that I was never happy with and why I had stopped docking with it |
