were you running plates in the carrier? I want to get something that I can use now as a chest rig and do more research on plates before I pull the trigger. Thanks
If you're interested in a recommendation, check out the performance of these Shot Stop plates i reviewed last year. th-cam.com/video/uA45pAuaqYc/w-d-xo.html
@@HarleyWood23 thanks I will do that. I'm just an average Joe myself but I like to be prepared. have you worn this without the plates? If so, is it functional/comfortable?
Oh yeah. It’s much more comfortable without that added bulk. If you’re only concerned with pistol threats, IIIA is the way to go. They're much lighter and more flexible.
Just get hesco L210s, 4401s, or RMA 1155s. Wearing a plate carrier without plates is dumb, just go chest rig if you're going to do that. Get special threat or level 4 plates that aren't steel. Be prepared to wear it often, because getting used to 14lbs of plates (unless you have a 1k+ budget, in which case plates get much lighter - e.g. hesco 3810) and magazines is not easy.
Yea I really appreciate that too I come across all these clowns in the tacticool gear and as a soldier for the last decade I can't help but wonder the actual tactical experience folks have when reviewing gear that I'm interested in you got my sub stay safe 👍🏿🇺🇲
20 weeks later I finally got mine in the mail. I’m very impressed with the build quality, Highly recommend. I know it’s tough to be patient in times like these but it’s worth the wait. Also start saving your money to buy ceramic plates instead of steel. Thanks again Harley !
Honestly your test is a pretty good one for the average person, in the army a lot of the time I was wearing armor I was digging holes or clearing brush to set up defenses so testing comfort and move-ability is a big factor for good kit.
After using my Agilite K5. It is a very good carrier. Well built and doesn't have the cheesy elastic webbing on the cummerbund like most plate carriers. But now I am looking into the K19 for the easy on easy off tubes.
I like how they placed the shoulder tubes higher up. I saw some folks complaining about the tubes messing with their stock placement when they're right up on the plate. Looks like these guys took that into account.👌
This is the first video I've seen from this channel, but I am VERY impressed. I really appreciate the forwardness of showing you're a civilian and not being some uber operator. Will be subscribing and hope to see more awesome content like this!
It is the algorithms of your previous google searches. Literally google anything random a few times and then watch over the week the ads keen to those searches. Same goes for TH-cam Either way do love the honesty
yes and no. I hadn't searched anything even remotely related. Yes, that is one way of targeting ads though. I've been employed in Digital Advertising for 13 years. I know exactly how they can be targeted which is why it caught my eye. The manufacturers can hardly keep up with demand right now, as is evidenced by the long lead times. Because it was a hot trending topic, they're pouring marketing dollars into targeted audiences with certain attributes and interest profiles. It's scary how much data we have on users across all channels, from purchase propensities to interest profiles. Instagram knows what I'm likely to respond to, and they serve up ads accordingly.
HarleyWood it’s crazy! I dig the prepared aspect of living. I’ve love apocalyptic type movies and realized lately I should live my fantasies. Keep at it bro!
It's about time someone that is an average person who trying to be prepared you can't beat that. Excellent video brother Stay strong stay safe and God bless
Awesome video. I have one of these added to my cart as I watch this. It's even on sale today for Easter. So if anyone is wanting this get it today and save a few bucks!
@@HarleyWood23 Thanks for the reply. BTW nice video, especially since I'm like you with no Military/Leo backyard. I look for a cheaper option that suites my needs.
So this video just popped up on my recommendeds I have absolute zero clue about this but I kept watching only because of you didn't know that this type of creators still exists well done brother keep up 👏
With my first child I didn't have the chance to try this but now with the second, this has been a terrific discovery! It does indeed distribute the baby weight in a better way. I do feel like there could be more weight on my shoulders but I might need to play with the straps more and see if that improves.I absolutely recommend this to every single parent out there!
realy great review - been eyeing this carrier for a while now. got an agilite helmet cover for my ops core and there quality is super legit so might just pull the trigger on this one
I ordered mine about 2 weeks ago now, definitely looking forward to it. I've gained weight since my college days (when I had lost 69 lbs). Working on getting back down so I wanted something that could change with my waistline. I too have had other plate carriers and I decided it was worth the investment for a solid carrier.
The k19 is top on my list for when I get another plate carrier. I've got a couple kits for soft and hard armor (including steel) each for it's own specific application.
I just purchased mine today as well as the camel hump that mounts on the back of it. I will probably purchase the assault pack this week as well. I did a lot of research and Agilite seemed to be the best one of the pack of plate carriers that i looked at.
I appreciate you being honest and upfront on your background. My thing is...as former SOF / conventional guy that has seen multiple deployments, why not get after it / get yourselves a passport / get smuggled into the middle east and go fight for the YPG. This whole preparation thing....hmmm I'm like Adam Raciecki. One can't truly prepare. Anyway good luck and good video.
The first 30 seconds, I know the feeling and I am ex-infantry. The reason why you are seeing a whole bunch of plate carrier, body armor, etc ads on places like instagram, is because within their code (facebook), they are collecting your data (looking over your shoulder) monitoring the sites you visit.
I am a vet, I would like to see if it can stand up to being fully loaded with mags, a pack jammed full, radio pack and some sort of ifac(medical bag) then haul ass around in it and see if the stitching and materials hold
Just stumbled upon the channel whilst looking at the Olight M2R Pro. I'm a police officer on leave presently, due to return to work soon. Just like to get my own gear to suit my needs rather than to depend on cheap issues. I just like your honesty in your reviews. Keep it up.
Tier 9 operator here. Other channels: Quick cuts of sprinting from barrier to barrier and snapping rifles around, rapid fire, getting in contorted positions. Your channel: Riding a lawnmower, cutting down trees and blowing bubbles with your kids to check the fit of a plate carrier. Take my subscription, fellow responsible father trying to stay prepared for today’s nonsense. I just ordered one. $250 shipped with their President’s day sale.
Great review. I think you're featured on Agilite website. I decided to order this carrier after your review - and no regrets. My first carrier - very comfy and easy to use. One feedback: next time do your carrier testing yardwork with plates. Preferably lvl4 - cheaper ones. You know - the ones that weight 16 pounds combined.
The reason guys run plate carriers with the shoulder straps closer to the neck is for getting your rifle into the pocket of your shoulder comfortably without the strap getting in the way. Not saying it’s the best way to go but that’s what I’ve heard from most guys to have been running rigs for awhile.
Great video, Thank you for doing and being honest about your prepper point of view. This is one of the best straight forward plate carrier videos I have seen and I have been watching alot. Keep up the great work. What is your opinion for a prepper, k19 carrier versus the qore performance ICE carrier?
Thanks man. appreciate that. Honestly, i wish i could speak from a place of experience regarding the Qore carrier. I have seen it though and i really like the modularity and out-of-the-box thinking they applied to the design process.Unfortunately, any opinion i give though would be uninformed since i have no experience with it.
@@HarleyWood23 Thank you for the honesty. This will be my first experience with a carrier so looking and researching way to much for something I hope I never need. hahaha
Excellent way to approach the subject , I’m in the same vein in that I’m more or a basic prepper and I think that is a quality and comfortable and that matters to me .
HarleyWood I liked the honesty and the shout out to Garand Thumb 😂 I’ve been watching both of you for a long time for different reason . Happy Easter .
Those ads aren't trending due to interest by the populace, they are targeted ads aimed directly at you. Also, great video, been looking into Agilite PCs.
Trust me, it IS trending. I've been employed in Digital Advertising for 13 years. I know exactly how they're targeted which is why it caught my eye. The manufacturers can hardly keep up with demand right now, as is evidenced by the long lead times. Because it's a hot trending topic, they're pouring marketing dollars into targeted audiences with certain attributes and interest profiles. If it wasn't trending, marketers wouldn't be promoting it so heavily.
@@HarleyWood23 thanks for the reply. The slickster looks to be more of a low profile setup but for a full carrier you are right that agility looks solid. Love your channel. Was browsing thru your videos and saw that you have the majority of the Olights and then noticed the railed marlin sbl that I've been saving for. With definitely stopping by regularly.
Great work on this video. I like your honesty. There are a lot of other channels out there that could take a page from your book. Keep up the great work! I just subscribed. By the way, tier 6 operator isn’t so bad, it beats the hell out of no tier at all! Lol!
You sir are doing the right thing there's nothing wrong with preparing to protect yourself and your family. I've learned more from watching your videos then most tactical videos were guys are doing exactly what you just described. Just because they're watching veterans running and gunning with all the latest gear I almost fell into that trend and when I realized they have deep pockets and other people supporting their channels so they can afford to buy the more expensive gear. Sorry but that's just not me. Take care stay strong and God bless. Big shout out from Houston Texas
I’ve seen a lot of plate carriers over the past 10 years and based on what I saw in this video this thing is the bees knees. It seems that everything was absolutely thought out through and through. My back is in horrible condition and it will only get worse because of my spinal disease. You can only deal with the cards that you were dealt and play the best game that you can. I will only be able to run level 3A and anything that I own. Perhaps one day technology will eventually Catch up and we can finally get some of that body armor the military was testing all those years ago trying to find a way to militarize spider webbing. Yes I know it sounds like a big screen TV movie plot which would be awesome, but it was the real deal.
Dude that intro! For real! So many fake ass “experts” who don’t know shit but people spoon feed shit daily. Subbed just for the clarity and ability to review shit with out being a fake seal to gain notoriety. Sadly that’s rare these days.
I just got mine, and I love parts of it, but hate one thing. IT DOES NOT FIT SMALL PLATES (despite what the website says). They slide around, and the retention mechanism inside (is a joke, and) is only good for the 10x12 plates . Everything else about it is nice. I'm 5'9" 160lb and it fits well, but I have maxed out the adjustment mechanism. If I was any smaller, it would be too big.
oh yeah. for sure. In fact, if you have a shorter torso than maybe someone my size, it would just cover that much more of your abdominal area whereas mine is more exposed.
@@HarleyWood23 made it fit thanks. On of my clips is kinda broken on the right side where the shoulders go. Is that a big issue? I emailed Agilite hoping the can maybe send me another one if I send them the one I got.
Just a note... This product has a 20 week... yes, not 20 day, but 20 WEEK lead time.... Still ordered mine, the best I have found yet, with the most flexibility of use, and can attach a bag to it later if needed. Great Review by the way.
Just curious, when you did all that testing did you have actual plates in the carrier? Makes a big difference. Also, most importantly, how does shouldering a rifle (again, with plates in it) feel? I've found that most plate carriers, especially ones with buckles on the straps force me to have an inconsistent buttsock to shoulder weld. At the very least a different should position from when I'm not wearing a carrier.
Stupid question. Does the K19 come with plates? $270 is what they’re asking, and that’s about what I paid for my operator II carrier with two 10x12 AR500 lvl 3 plates. If not, do you know of a less cumbersome, more affordable carrier than the condor that can accommodate the plates I already have?
HarleyWood Yes sir, and after watching your review obviously this is a very high quality carrier that is just not in my budget right now, and there is a +20 week lead time on them. I’m going into law enforcement and am in the market for a streamlined easy in and out kit. I was just looking at the AR500 Veritas and Veritas lite which are a lot more affordable, although I’m not fully sold just yet.
HarleyWood thanks man. I appreciate the work you do to put out high quality no BS content. I make a lot of my decisions on gear based on it. Keep up the good work 👍🏼
@@HarleyWood23 several items but mainly a SPARTAN AR550 BODY ARMOR AND TACTICAL RESPONSE KIT Or a Safelife Defense vest. I've been cross shopping several brands and Spartan seemed the best value, price wise. Now I'm considering a K19 carrier with Spartan AR500 plates. At a grand total of $470ish. Which is about $200 more than the whole Spartan set. But the k19 looks more thought out, and more comfortable. The savings would come from the probable disappointment and cost of replacing the Spartan with something else. Like how we spend hundreds of dollars on holsters before we find just the right one 👌 Your review addressed key issues, especially the ones I'd forgotten about.
If you were a prepper you would still practice gun manipulation. Just because people do mag changes does not mean they’re pretending to be something they are not. They are just practicing their Second Amendment right to act as a militia as they should.
were you running plates in the carrier? I want to get something that I can use now as a chest rig and do more research on plates before I pull the trigger. Thanks
I only had IIIA plates during testing. I shot all my rifles plates for YT videos. Haven’t replaced them yet.

No plates when wearing all day. Adding plates make it a completely different story. Almost any carrier is comfortable without plates.
Maybe check out there plates as well. Amazingly light plates.
how comfortable is it? looks like it has zero padding when compared to one like the dfndr carrier

Good test of vest. But there was no plates in it....ad about 14 lbs to it then do the yard...
There were IIIA soft plates in it. I have since replaced those with III+
Very nice!
Fully loaded. Did you have plates in it?
Yes, 3A plates. I shot my rifle plates for a review 🤷🏼♂️
hey man, just want to ask. does it fit to a 5 feet 4 inches tall? thanks. :)
oh yeah. for sure. In fact, if you have a shorter torso than maybe someone my size, it would just cover that much more of your abdominal area whereas mine is more exposed.
What are the straps for inside the plate carrier? The straps where the plates go
They hold smaller plates tight in the plate bag
@@HarleyWood23 made it fit thanks. On of my clips is kinda broken on the right side where the shoulders go. Is that a big issue? I emailed Agilite hoping the can maybe send me another one if I send them the one I got.
You referenced Uncle Garand. ......Liked and subbed
Mr. Morris
Uncle? I call him Daddy
@@HarleyWood23 Chaos and Crayola are my Daddy but UG is still the fun uncle
Thank you. It's now mid November covid pandemic... doesn't seem to be getting any better anytime soon.
yeah man...with no sign of things getting any better. Thanks for watching.
Just a note... This product has a 20 week... yes, not 20 day, but 20 WEEK lead time.... Still ordered mine, the best I have found yet, with the most flexibility of use, and can attach a bag to it later if needed. Great Review by the way.
Your honesty and realness got you a subscriber! 💜💚🇺🇸
thanks man. appreciate that
Lmao you have no idea about how social media ads work, but go off queen
Can you show yourself shooting with this thing on?? I don't doubt that the carrier is great but what is it like to shoulder a rifle with it?
Just curious, when you did all that testing did you have actual plates in the carrier? Makes a big difference. Also, most importantly, how does shouldering a rifle (again, with plates in it) feel? I've found that most plate carriers, especially ones with buckles on the straps force me to have an inconsistent buttsock to shoulder weld. At the very least a different should position from when I'm not wearing a carrier.
I had soft IIIA plates in it. I shot my rifle plates for reviews. I did not do any shooting with this on yet.
Stupid question. Does the K19 come with plates? $270 is what they’re asking, and that’s about what I paid for my operator II carrier with two 10x12 AR500 lvl 3 plates. If not, do you know of a less cumbersome, more affordable carrier than the condor that can accommodate the plates I already have?
This does not come with plates but yours will work. I take it you have steel plates?
HarleyWood Yes sir, and after watching your review obviously this is a very high quality carrier that is just not in my budget right now, and there is a +20 week lead time on them. I’m going into law enforcement and am in the market for a streamlined easy in and out kit. I was just looking at the AR500 Veritas and Veritas lite which are a lot more affordable, although I’m not fully sold just yet.
Cool. Much respect for choosing the LE career in the midst of all this. We appreciate you
HarleyWood thanks man. I appreciate the work you do to put out high quality no BS content. I make a lot of my decisions on gear based on it. Keep up the good work 👍🏼
You just saved me several hundred dollars and a major headache.
I'm subscribed.
thanks for watching. What did i save you from buying?
@@HarleyWood23 several items but mainly a SPARTAN AR550 BODY ARMOR AND TACTICAL RESPONSE KIT
Or a Safelife Defense vest.
I've been cross shopping several brands and Spartan seemed the best value, price wise.
Now I'm considering a K19 carrier with Spartan AR500 plates. At a grand total of $470ish. Which is about $200 more than the whole Spartan set.
But the k19 looks more thought out, and more comfortable.
The savings would come from the probable disappointment and cost of replacing the Spartan with something else. Like how we spend hundreds of dollars on holsters before we find just the right one 👌
Your review addressed key issues, especially the ones I'd forgotten about.
If you were a prepper you would still practice gun manipulation. Just because people do mag changes does not mean they’re pretending to be something they are not. They are just practicing their Second Amendment right to act as a militia as they should.
Hello all. looking for feedback. if you have used the k19 and k5 what do you like better and why. Thank you so much for your input and time.
Um wouldn't it help to test it with plates in it?
