Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Zakk_Wylde_470: I think it might be cheaper to just carry less shit on it. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Zakk_Wylde_470: I think it might be cheaper to just carry less shit on it. Ok yeah, thats fair.  I pulled the placard off and it comes in at 20 pounds. IIRC, the plates are 8 each. Its been a long time since I bought them, and I don't want to pull them out of the carrier to weigh them. I just wasn't sure if there were lighter options. I'd like to hang on to 3 rifle mags and the IFAK. I have a molle placard on the way to mount Gcode mag pouches to, but I doubt it will be lighter than the fight lite is by itself.Originally Posted By cone256: Well all of those cobra buckles add some ounces, same with the pistol mags. Do you not have a belt setup? Only reason I'd have pistol mags on my carrier would be if I didn't have a belt I do have a belt setup with 2 pistol mag pouches (and 2 rifle). I'll play around with the setup. @nikroft The patch came from OP Tactical |

Rather than start a new thread i figured I'd ask here. What is the recommendation for a carrier that will take my soft vest as an insert in addition to the plates?

I’m in need of something that will fit hesco L210 Fairly low profile lightweight and in stock.
I want the trex arms carrier but they are a couple weeks out. Would prefer sooner but don’t want to settle So something similar. Lightweight low drag can hang a triple shingle on it and call it good. Any color aside from black Would the LBX armatus II medium fit those plates? Thoughts? |

So I have a SKDtac PIG, and I had two questions that I'm hoping y'all can help with:
1) if I wanted to carry water on it, how's the best way to do so? Canteen, water bladder, bottle? Just don't? Recommendations? 2) can anyone recommend some soft side armor to go in the PIG? Skdtac's armor policy seems like... a pain, or I'd just order from them since their soft side armor inserts should fit their cummerbund... A notary and mailing original paperwork? Really? |

Depends on how much water you want to carry. SKD made a couple of 2 - 3L options that were designed to integrate with their carriers.
If this is just for range/light use I'd think about just using a bottle you probably already have. Throw it in a bag/pack. Last hydration pack I've used was the Emdom Vehicle Hydration Carrier, it was super cool 8 years ago but for my last trip I got by fine with 2 Nalgenes. |

I measured nipple to nipple at just over 10.5 and from clav notch to belly button im just over 15in. You could go with a size XL SAPI, but you’d probably find it difficult to shoulder a rifle and uncomfortable to sit when the plate hits your belt and rides up. Large would probably be the best compromise but as always your mileage may vary. I have similar measurements as you (10.5” width, 14” jugular notch to belly button but only 6’ tall) and I did not like how a large SAPI restricted my movement. 10x12 was a compromise on coverage for mobility and comfort. My concealed vest is about the same because I hate my vest hitting my belt and riding up when sitting in a vehicle. |

Well, I already discovered what you guys were saying...that both the TQ and the "med" pouch interfere with the rifle, sling mostly. LOOKS better, but I need to do some movin' and swappin'. One thing I noticed that was VERY much better is it doesn't interfere with the side ar or spare mags. I found one should pad strap from an old vest from years ago, but I'll be switched if I can find the other one. One is better than none and it went on the rifle side, as you can see.
 Attached FileI am open to suggestions and no, the "med" pouch is just a simple dump pouch with a zipper, only thing I have right now. Only other pouch I have t play with is that Condor quad mag pouch. Me no likey much. BUT, it does work. But I want to have the "plug holes" part covered too. |

And less beer. MOAR RUM! ALso, there is a REALLY hard to get into kangaroo pouch with a ton of velcro and small pouch at the bottom, with that pull tab in the middle. What is that for?

That may be a good solution for you. Keep in mind it will somewhat limit your ability to get low(er) prone. A lot guys run their med kit on their off hand side cummerbund. I personally like to keep the front lopro and the sides slick but I have a battle/gun belt to hang first line gear. I know there are some legit door kickers in here that will be able to help. |

That cummberund aint' happy. And now with the High Ground/Hesco 4401 plates installed - things are getting tight. Think I should switch to light beer. However, once I figured out how to put the plates in all was good, easy to use. AND, they seem to be in the right place, even with the collar bone join. Finger is in the top of the plate. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/360589/new_one_2_jpg-1773513.JPG Now I am going to put on the pouches roughly where I think they would work - opinions? They are not threaded in yet, note hanging straps. Waiting for the recommendations of the experts. That small pouch has JUST enough room for the North American Rescue Individual Aid Kit. Not much, but better than nothing. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/360589/new_one_3_jpg-1773530.JPG Again, than you to Rex_Allen - no more razzing the underscores... The new PC looks like it fits orders of magnitude better than your previous setup. How are the cummerbund sides attached at the rear? Shock cord? @Rex_Allen - That was a classy act. What goes around comes around and I hope you are rewarded BIGLY somewhere down the road. |

I have a LBT magazine insert for a kangaro pouch that has been sitting in a bin for like 8 years. I have a feeling we're going to Hive-fix your PC setup!!  Attached File Attached File |

I figured I might as well help a fellow arfcomer and Arizonan getting set up right. It was sitting in the bottom of a duffel bag full of old uniforms so it’s the least I could do to help minimize my unused collection. Also looks like you’re going to help him out too. Awesome! |

@PFran42, thank you very much, much appreciated, PM sent.
I actually did exactly what you guys suggested, and moved the medical bag, (not high speed enough to be a IFAK), to the left side cummerbund as far forward as I could. I also noticed that holding the rifle at rest with this gave me a spot to rest the left forearm. And yes, right handed, but left eye dominant. Drove my instructors nuts over the years.

Vastly appreciated from this old squid, sir.

I forgot to add, yes the cummer bund is shock corded in the rear...I am going to assume I should let that cord out to make it long enough. Duh. I wish we'd had stuff like this back when I was in the military...woodland camo flak vests were what we were issued for shipboard security.

They just recently started issuing good gear for regular guys in the Air Force. When I was in it was all IOTVs and my command at the time finally let us wear plate carriers and that’s how I got the one I gave you. They didn’t supply them we had to acquire them and have them approved for use. So that one saw many days and nights checking IDs at the main gate
