I've been looking for a size small, so in the same camp with you looking for smaller sizes. All I've seen have been large ones out there.

Looks like Tactical Distributors has the JPC 2.0 in Multicam and medium in stock:
https://www.tacticaldistributors.com/products/crye-jpc-2-0-mulitcam?variant=29054606215 Granted, it's the 2.0 and not the original. Also, did you try ordering direct from Crye? I ordered an AVS direct a while back and had it in about a week. |

Pretty sure I've seen ranger green in small in my search too. What plate vendors and level of protection are you planning to use with your JPC, stand alone or with soft armor/trauma pad backing? Any side protection? |

Whatever you do don't order from their website. I ordered over the summer and at 90 days I gave up and cancelled. I order again from op tactical and it took 3 days to get it.
Edit: to get my multicam medium jpc |

Multicam JPCs are probably THE easiest high end carrier to find on the second hand market.
If you have Facebook, go check out Cool Guy Gear. I admin there and they come up for sale and trade practically daily. |

Thanks so much OP and everyone, this has been most helpful.
I’m going with this plate carrier and looking at level 4 ceramics from bulletproofme at the moment. Looking for reasonably priced, but willing to pay for quality and lightweight plates for mobility.. I’m now a civilian and realize some of the top end plate sellers need current LEO/MILITARY credentials - any leads and options to bulletproofme is greatly appreciated. |

A 10x12 plate puts you into a large carrier with these 1" thick. The plates I have are 9.5x11.25 and about 1/2" thick with a single curve shooters cut and they fight very tightly into a medium. If it weren't for the stretch material in the JPC they wouldn't fit. JPC sizes = ESAPI plate sizing. |

There was a thread in this forum recently where someone posted some ceramics for I think $200 for the pair. They were kind of heavy at 8.3# each but weight and thickness usually come at a cost. http://rmadefense.com/product/level-iv-hard-armor-plate-model-1155-set/ Keep in mind the JPC is sized based on the size of the plates you put in them.

if you don't need the ap protection of lvl 4 plates take a look at the bulletproofme/armourwear lvl 3+ plates. small sapi plates weigh in at only 3.5 lbs and they're pretty comfortable being triple curved. i have been running a set of these for a little while now in a small jpc and really like them. the jpc is a nice lightweight carrier and doesn't like to be loaded down so the more weight you can save with the plates really helps the overall. Kinda sketchy imo. |

My JPC from ethos tactical got here yesterday. It’s the real deal. They also appear to have small and medium in multicam.
This was the first time I’ve heard of them or done business with them. They are based out of Illinois. Maybe someone from up there has more info on the company. |
