Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Gurthy: @jonathon I used the Velcro part of a Tac Tailor dangler (Grey Ghost Gear also uses the same attachment system) and threaded the pouch's MOLLE straps through that.

I have the both the TQ holder and the Velcro dangler thingamajig sandwiched in the plate. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/218803/image_67150849_JPG-1942375.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/218803/image_67218945_JPG-1942370.JPG Nice. That right there is called using your noodle. Edit: Can’t have page ownage without a pic, so here’s yours truly getting some mileage in with my AVS and MR Komodo Dragon a few days ago during our fallen Defender ruck. Before anyone says anything, I know that the waist belt should be lower. The yoke is already adjusted about as far as it can go, but wearing body armor makes everything more difficult.

Anyone know the scoop on the Agilite K19? Are they GTG or shit? Got an email today about these carriers and I've never heard of them.

I was just listening to Mike Ritland (Mike Drop Podcast) and Chris Osman (founder of TAG - Tactical Assault Gear) shooting the shit about gear and Chris said that the highest quality, US made, Berry compliant $450-500 PCs cost about $85 to produce. That's a lot of margin built-in as the finished product changes hands several times on the way to the end user.

Appreciate all the feedback gents. I'm gonna keep my eye on this one.
@PatriotNC What would you recommend as a better value? I'm seeing it's not much more than a CP JPC 2.0 and similar carriers. I'm open to alternatives. |

I'm seeing it's not much more than a CP JPC 2.0 and similar carriers. I'm open to alternatives. Depending on what you need, there are a number of options I'd consider first. Like you said, the JPC 2.0 is pretty much the default option these days for a reason. If you're using the kind of load that most people have, it's extremely effective, and it's got tons of industry support. For the price, it's frankly a steal. If you want more of the structural support function, the Crye SPC is another option and decently priced. With the disclaimer that I'm a nobody, I always tell guys to no-shit, consider what you will actually put on a carrier. Not fantasy land stuff, game plan exactly what you actually need. Most guys expect to put too much shit on their carrier, go bigger than they need to, and pay the price for it. In terms of bulk, weight, and money. Most of us here who have been playing with this stuff for a few years have bins (and/or EE threads) full of good ideas that didn't survive more than a day or two of having to carry it around. Realistically, if you're looking to carry less and could benefit from a more scalable rather than modular carrier, look at the Velocity LEPC and you can save quite a bit. |

Their QD works better than others, and you can use a lot of different plates, it has retaining straps inside to allow this.

@PatriotNC
Thank you for your reply. I have two POV's for carriers - one being the training load, which is worn for rucks, courses, FTX's etc. Philosophy is to get as close as possible to what I'd wear OCONUS (I'm in the RC). I already have this setup, which includes a TYR PICO-MVS. My deployment scenarios range from heavily SOP-driven commands to wear what you want (within reason) commands. This is what I found to be the most reasonable option considering my wide range of possible deployment scenarios. Photo:  Attached FileMy second kit would be the home/truck kit. Priorities would be- 1) Much lighter 2) Quick to don 3) Somewhat comfortable to wear for prolonged periods/while driving 4) Focus on speed over sustainment 5) Carry 3x M4 mags, nothing else 6) Available in RG/OD/Foliage (okay, not a priority, but I want what I want  )The K12 caught my attention because it's cheaper than a JPC with a QD cummerbund, although it looks like there is some disagreement whether the K12 or other QD options are better. Thanks again for your reply. I'm not pulling the trigger on anything anytime soon and appreciate the feedback. @stoner01 Thank you as well. I've been considering these too. |

What is everyones thoughts on the "best" plate carrier that will also take placards, and take more weight than the JPC? The MOS SPAV-W looks very nice but also very expensive.

The MOS SPAV-W looks very nice but also very expensive. While it's not perfect, the AVS can be modded to effectively take placards. That said, if you're looking for something that isn't painfully expensive, the AVS definitely does not fit the bill. |

The MOS SPAV-W looks very nice but also very expensive. The Crye SPC, or an SPC with an Eagle ERGO harness thing, is 100% the way to go. It should come in about $400 or so? An AVS with the AXL AVP would also work. |

I've found them generally less comfortable with the same 15-20lb I put on my JPCs because of the shoulder strap design. Why do you say it is? I've found it 10x more comfortable. I have a different set of shoulder pads though. I have extensive time in both. The lv119 needs the molle cummerbund (with or without tubes) for heavier loads. The spiritus bund has a better skeletal system than the crye. I hate elastic cummerbunds for anything but ultra light low pro work. I'm not affiliated with spiritus but the lv119 is the most comfortable carrier I've used. I've had the back panel fully loaded with shit too. |

Guys is it normal for L210s to have extra space in a Ferro Slickster?
It’s like they are 2-4” too small. Edit: Upon further review it appears I bought the damn large pair which has the 10.5x13 pocket. I thought large meant for a larger person. This really blows.  Attached File |

Lv119 master race checking in :p But seriously, plate carriers are like shoes-what fits you like a glove doesn't necessarily work for someone else. Can you post pictures of the rifle shouldered? Slight tweaks to the position/angle may overcome this. Another option is changing the optic mount height. I can't help make suggestions without seeing your position though |

If I was made of money I would try other carriers to find something that might be better, but that's not an indictment of the K19, because overall I am happy with it. It makes me want to switch to something more streamlined like a JPC, but then I hear people complaining about their comfort level, and it makes me hesitant. I've thought about enlisting a seamstress and modifying mine to get rid of them. Not really needed if you have tubes on your cummerbund IMO, but I'm not an operator or anything. Lv119 master race checking in :p But seriously, plate carriers are like shoes-what fits you like a glove doesn't necessarily work for someone else. Can you post pictures of the rifle shouldered? Slight tweaks to the position/angle may overcome this. Another option is changing the optic mount height. I can't help make suggestions without seeing your position though  I understand wearing armor and shouldering a rifle takes some getting used to. Maybe they is an issue too, but it bothers me that those buckles are right where I want to shoulder my rifle.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Alien: That's the complaint I have about my plate carrier (Shellback Banshee Elite 2.0). Not sure why they don't come up with a less clumsy solution to reduce the thickness of the shoulder straps when shouldering your rifle. That's really my only complaint about mine. It's super comfy as a plate carrier goes, but I HATE that those quick release buckles being in the way.

This is not just thrown together, it's a well-built piece of gear. It goes on easily and comes off easily. I preferred the open sides for ventilation. The only criticism I have for it is the Quick Release shoulder straps tend to interfere with shouldering a rifle, so you have to adjust to that.

I went from a Banshee 1.0 to an Esstac ASS. Esstac is more comfy, but is a little bit of a more minimalistic PC. |

SKD Tactical PIG Brigandine, with a Czech Lvl III plate in the rear and a Hesco L210 in the front.
Modded with a $10 buckle kit to not mess around with the velcro.

Agilite K19 or Crye JPC 2.0 ??
Also, what size plates are u big boys running in ur carrier? I was originally considering an 11x14 plate, but may consider SAPI Large (10x12) to avoid restriction of movement, etc. JPC L or XL? Im 6'm 230, athletic build, 48" chest, 36' waist. |

Do not, do not, get the 11x14 plates. I'm 6'5 and I couldn't shoulder my weapon correctly with my 11x14 plates. At most get large SAPIs or large shooters cut. I ended up with a swimmers cut JPC 2.0 with large shooters cut Hesco 3810s. Don't make the expensive mistake I did, figuring I was a big boy I needed the XL plates especially since I measured and in theory it all added up

Medium or 10"x12" are the answer. Carrier is based on plate size so medium plates, medium carrier, etc. Medium JPC w/ shooters cut LTC 28780 front/medium Hesco 3810 rear for reference.
