Any pics of these packs being worn with a plate carrier? Any help appreciated Using the shoulder straps or buckling it on? |

My personal take is to forget attaching your pack to your PC. Doing so makes it almost impossible for you to access the pack until you doff your PC, which is not a good idea if you are under a threat condition which mandates wearing a PC in the first place. Very problematic if riding in vehicles.
Bottom line: Run your pack, or hydro carrier with minimal shoulder straps, since the thing will be worn over your PC, and make sure it has a sternum strap which you can adjust to suit your needs. There may be very uncommon situations when wearing a pack attached to one's PC make sense, but I think such situations rare. YMMV. FWIW, I have yet to see a mil-issued pack that lacks shoulder straps. Some mil-issued hydro carriers lack shoulder straps, but IMHO this is a mistake. Common sense says don't put your pack where you can't easily and rapidly get to its contents. YMMV |

In my opinion if it's in your pack and you need it in a hurry, you've screwed up. You should also have a friend around.
I haven't seen the TT attached, but I have an eagle map pack and it works great. I'd like to see the TT attached myself if someone has a pic. |

I don't have much experience having to ruck or carry a patrol pack over PC/armor (mostly just sitting in a vehicle), but I could see a pack with minimalist shoulder and waist straps that could fastex buckle into the easier to reach portions of a PC being useful. Say right about the sternum for the shoulder straps, with the lower half stowed in a sleeve on the ruck, and the waist band having the attachment points near where a TAP-type chest rig would attach below the armpits, with the ability to tighten the waist band a lot and stow the excess webbing.
Whether these packs could do this, I know not. This is just something I was thinking about earlier today rather than paying attention to work. |

Ares Armor Combat Xii pack. /thread.
For the record you unclip one side and the pack swings around for easy access. |

snapped this when I first got the pack just to see what it would look like on my pc. I've never worn this setup when out gunning so can't give any feedback on functionality.  |

I'm looking forward to seeing the First Spear "Vertical Envelopment Pack,"
https://www.first-spear.com/skin/files/V8catalog_WEB6.pdf The cost will probably be a pretty penny, but it looks interesting. ~Augee |

I went with a PIG gRUNT Modular Pack, for a small pack to attach to my PC. I haven't had it long, so all I can say is that it holds items I want to carry, but will not need when the SHTF. I use it for extra cloths, rain gear, food, etc. It also holds my Camelbak. They can be accessed by someone else, or when I remove the PC.
