It might have been asked before, so I apologize. But, this thread is a bit big to dig through.
As far as typical wear, not combat zone, do you guys always wear "war belts" with a plate carrier? Is the idea to grab both, or just one, depending on the situation? I'm LSHD.

Is the idea to grab both, or just one, depending on the situation? I'm LSHD. It depends. Some people just use them to move weight off their torso and onto their hips, some to carry "first line" gear such as a handgun and handgun magazines, and some may still use them for other reasons. I personally don't use or even own a war belt, not really my thing but all my LBE gear is separate from my PC which is slick. And of course some do not use a war belt at all, me being one of those people. Don't know if you've seen it, but here's the War Belt pic thread. Look through there and you'll get a good idea of what people use them for and when. |

I use the war belt to supplement my rifle loadout on my PC primarily.
I avoided getting one for the longest time as I'm a civi and didn't see the need to carry more than a couple rifle mags. I took a small unit tactics class last year that required more than the 3+1 mags I carried on my rifle/PC so I added 1 rifle mag to my PC and decided to build a war belt to supplement that.

I have a PIG with the FS retrofit cummerbund. I've enjoyed the PIG and deployed with it twice, but I think it's getting long in the tooth. The FS c-bund on the other hand is still one of my favorite things in the world when it comes to body armor, along with the AVS harness. The tubes make life super easy and it's just a comfortable setup. Buy FS with confidence.

Hey guys
Im looking to replace my Mayflower APC, the more I'm running with it/taking classes with it the more I'm not liking it. The PC itself is comfortable but the Shoulder pads dig into my neck. I have good pads on the straps but there just too close together. What PC would you recommend for someone who has broad shoulders? I wear a L/XL with M cummerbund |

The old version 1 would be the same for a bit less money if you don't need the 2.0 features. |

I have a newer APC, without the wide, padded shoulder strap covers they used to have. It just had slim slip-over sleeve covers. Comparing the bare width of the shoulder straps on the two, I'd say they're pretty close, but the JPC is a bit narrower. If you needed, you could always add additional shoulder pad/covers on the JPC. However, the space in between for your head and neck is much wider on the JPC.

I've got pretty wide shoulders and kai does too, so I'd say it's great, but I'm not sure how to measure it. The esstac ass light shoulders aren't adjustable, but I've never had an issue.

As for where to get it, pretty much all retailers are the same on price, but stock of them does come in waves from Crye, and when they do they usually sell fast. Crye just sent a batch out to distributors about 2 weeks ago so right now you might be able to find one left over somewhere. if not, expect to order and wait for the next batch or pay over retail on the secondary market. |
