It’s a USGI IFAK pouch. I like it, it’s pretty simple and for being made by SDS it seems like a nice pouch.

One thing I can recommend - especially if you're rocking 10x12 Hesco 4401s - get a set of padded shoulder pads.

I'm going to diverge from the others and say that I think having some sort of knife on your PC is generally a good idea as long as it isn't taking up lots of space. It's not unheard of for a person to jump on someone else or grab their gun, resulting in the need to force them off you until you have enough space to use your gun again.

Just make sure you have it placed somewhere you can actually reach it, and it isn't interfering with your ability to shoulder your rifle or access your other gear.

And while the three basics for any plate carrier are stop holes, make holes, plug holes (plates, ammo, first aid), a handheld flashlight is still good to have. One thing you could do is keep a small flashlight with a pocket clip on a molle loop, and just plan to take it off and put it in your pocket when you go to grab the carrier.

A small, unobtrusive blade like a socp dagger is good to have on the carrier but I wouldn't put a full size survival or work blade on it. That can live on the belt, in a pack, etc. Just adds weight and takes up space that isn't needed in a "get off me" situation where you could be fighting from a clench and need to create some space to escape/de-escalate or work to a better weapon. My 2c.

I wouldn't recommend a knife on your PC, unless you can slip something small like an Esee Izula or SOCP Dagger in. Even then, I've found that it's much better to put it on your belt, if that's an option.

Really just need something bomb proof, low profile, multi cam, and in stock.

I’ve been off of active duty for several minutes... sigh.

Crye Airlite, Ferro slickster, .... and then I dunno.

Maybe something from LBT (have used their gear in a past life)?

I should have done this a while ago.

The Slickster is nice.

I'll throw this into the mix.

The Javlin Concepts JAC is about as low pro as it gets. Very similar to the JPC and Slickster.

Something to look at. They are not well known. The owner/designer is a former Ranger.

It's a no frills get'r done modular PC. With it's cummerbund the PC hugs you and doesn't move at all.
I think it's very comfortable with or without any padding/cushions.

Lead time is 11-13 days but I got my last on in five days. YMMV

Unless you're only ever in wide open spaces then a knife on your PC is good to have as long as it isn't obtrusive. It allows you to keep your hands up in your work space in a defensive/offensive posture. Having to reach down to your pocket/belt line during a tussle creates an opening for your opponent. Just my 2 cents and of course figure out what works best for you.

Hence why the Benchmade SOCP dagger is such a good "get the fuck off me" knife, because the sheath was designed to fit through molle loops. You can mount it in the center front of your plate carrier where it can be reached with either hand.

Look at the MOS Tactical SPAV-W. It was designed basically to be like a cross between a JPC and a LBT-6094. The lead times are long, but they seem good.

They're also expensive, but if your budget can justify the price of U210's then it can probably also justify a SPAV-W.

Anyone looking for a nice PVS-14 padded case...

I just picked up a Raine Tactical Padded case in Multicam. Perfect size for a PVS-14 with an attached J-arm. Also, has two elastic loops under the lid for battery storage.  Made in USA. 100% lifetime guarantee.

Ordered yesterday and it was at my door about 2 hours ago. Good buy at $45.

Minor update:

Added a Mil-Spec Monkey Small Patch Panel. This was the smallest and thinnest pouch I could source and doesn't obstruct the magazines in the kangaroo pouch. This pouch will be dedicated to a boo boo role (Chapstick, Band-Aids, Advil, lens cloth, etc.).

Due to recent events, my focus is slightly shifting from light/fast to short term sustainment. This means things like storage for a power bank for my smartphone, a hydration bladder pouch that can hold more than just the bladder, on-PC storage for my PVS-14, etc.

I've got a few things en-route to address these issues and I'll provide another update once I get everything set up.

This is actually the last thing I just put on mine. It has a belt mounting option though and I'll keep that hardware with it to use. I don't have a warbelt yet, but I wanted to keep it on the carrier for now so it's accessible. It doesn't get in the way much, but it's a compromise.

My tube quick release is a knock off and may replace it with the real deal for peace of mind, but I think my setup plate is finished for now. Despite single curve plates, it's comfortable. However, I hate how thick the shoulder straps are and how the quick release buckle is right where I want to shoulder my rifle. It makes it more awkward than it needs to be. That's really my only complaint about the carrier. I don't know if I will learn to deal with it or if that will bother me enough to replace the whole thing later. I think they could have designed that aspect of it better to be honest.

As it stands now, it consists of the following:

Shellback Banshee Elite 2.0
LA Police Gear Level III plates (yes, I know they are Chinesium but it's all that was available at the time and I'll replace them later)
Tactical Tailor 3 mag holder (may add those kydex retention clips)
Elite Spanker dump pouch
Gerber Strongarm knife
North American Rescue ROO M-FAK (plus an extra Recon Medical tourniquet)
Baofeng 8w radio & headset (should probably get a better headset)
Knockoff tube mod (can still go back to velcro)
Cool morale patches
Clips on the back to add my Camelbak hydration pouch if needed

Well hoping y’all could lend a hand. Need to snag a PC but I’m kinda overwhelmed by all the options out there. Didn’t wanna clog crap up and make a new thread either.

Got some Hesco L210s on the way right now from Kota.

Budget:
I’d like to stay under 350-370 for the pc and main mag pouches on the front. Figured spend around as much for a basic setup as the plates to be at least somewhat comfy while training in it compared to a condor or other cheap stuff.

Build:
6’
230
Kinda works out but can still drink a 12pk with the bois.
Haven’t taken any real measurements yet...

Looking at:
JPC 2.0
Shellback banshee
Esstac Daeodon
Trex Pc
And anything else y’all recommend.

Not wanting anything super low pro, but also trying to stay mindful of weight. Kinda like the cummerbund pockets on the trex and shellback for small stuff to be kept out of the way, but I’m open to ideas.

Is that your med kit on the front of your vest?  Not sure you want it there if people are putting bullets in that area, I keep a blow out kit (Quick Clot or other) in my off hand thigh pocket... has above Mil grade Zfold, Israeli Bandage, Paramedic Scissors, and a SWAT rubber band like TQ, smaller then the CAT.

Again on my off hand on my belt I keep a bit larger kit, with another Israeli Bandage and a small Mil Grade Clotting agent, and a HALO kit.

If I carry a CAT it is rubbered to my Strong side shoulder high and to the back a bit.

A lot of stuff is almost unobtainium

Crye anything
Spiritus (personal fav)
Esstac
Lbt/lbx
Velocity
Ferro

All those brands are g2g.

BEFORE buying pouches lay out the gear you want to carry on it and then decide what you need to buy. People tend to buy too much storage then figure out what ELSE to put in, thus carrying too much.

@NavyWizard @PFran42

Well, with the wonderful gift from PFran42, things are really coming together. I stuck the CAT off to the side, to keep the front slicked down. I realized that a ton of gear right where you would prefer to get shot could be counter productive, especially to the useful lifespan of said gear. With the split front cummerbund design, I leave the left side at the perfect length and just slap the right under the velcro to make it ever so slightly faster. I am sure there are lots of tips and tricks you guys discovered/were taught that I missed, being a sailor so long ago.So, this is for now, still have pouches to play with and haven't really figured out how to dye the carrier if I want to, or just leave it the grey/green tiger stripe. The CAT might get in the way of the sling...thoughts? I would love an actual med pouch instead of my ersatz one - suggestions? That zipper isn't the easiest to deal with left hand only.
