Appreciate your detailed review and honest feedback. I think I'll pick up this up along with some entry level ceramic plates then eventually upgrade to a genuine JPC 2.0 and Hesco plates...
Thanks for the comment. Something is better than nothing is the way I look at it. You might even consider looking at the AR500 website, they do a lot of packaged deals and at least they are a middle grade compromise which the plates won’t have a shelf life and upgrade when you can, then that kit can go into a vehicle or a significant other to use. Black Friday deals might peek an interest soon.
@@ProjectAnubisUSA Its obviously not meant as body armor. Its extremely dangerous for your and your bystanders. Don't recommend dèath in plate format.
@@aesthetic8780 don’t see why not… it is just a cover waiting for plates…any need for blast mitigation is absorbed by the paxcon style plate coating. it’s for airsoft but can work for home users that will hopefully never need it.
Foam plates seem to have a tight fit in plate carriers, I’ve put foam plates in 3 ar500 plate carriers and the foam has been a tight fit compared to lvl 3 plates.
I agree, I had the same issue with my real steel setup which I believe are 3/8" thick curved. I think Level 4 might be equal to the foam plates I just don't have level 4 to compare.
@@EthanCmsrc108 You can purchase ceramic plates depending on state (if you live in the USA) I believe is the only regulations. The only issue is the recommended expiration dates for the resins/glues use and the expense.
Yes, I could fit my steel plates and fiberglass into it tight. I think the biggest issue is its a light duty design (ar680 steel would not be good for battle use maybe okay if you need it in a pinch) but I would recommend kevlar inserts or the composite type like fiberglass or carbonfiber inserts due to weight and thinness. I don't think level 4 will fit.
If you plan to use it a lot and run steel plates get a actual real brand like crye. The steel plates are rough on the single panel fabric but will work for mild use. If you plan to use it once in a blue moon or for milsim with fake or esapi / sapi (might not fit too thick) plates this is fine. Any milsim plate carrier will be made similar and lightweight. LBX has larger pockets and sizes because LBT is the parent company. the heavy-duty built ones will cost similar to the real deal so might as well buy the real one at that point. Hope this helps
@@ProjectAnubisUSA it says jpc 2.0 on there site + it shows like 1-2 pics of the jpc in your video but then it shows a different plate carrier in other photos.
Unsure if they have local warehouses or distributors they pull from but it was super fast considering I thought it would take 1-2 weeks overseas. Covid might influence today’s shipping though.
Unsure what you mean by compliant but I doubt this is reflective under it like patches. I don’t have any experience or way to test this, maybe reach out to IDOGEAR. Email: 9:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday to Saturday (unsure what time zone) idogear@hotmail.com

@@ProjectAnubisUSAare you joking? Ar500 is vor vehicles.

@@aesthetic8780 not sure what you’re talking about. Ar500 and ar680 is a plate steel hardness
Thanks for this. Was looking into buying one of these myself!
Nice detailed review
I appreciate you dropping a comment!
Can the front panel that you flipped up be fully removed ?
Unsure how they are made now, I know I seen some strap color changes. My pouch flap was removable, hook in loop, and mollied in.

@@ProjectAnubisUSA yeah, lvl 4 are thick af, and I don’t think civilians can have lvl 4 plates

Sorry. Could you confirm i can use it with 10*12 plates ?

@@ProjectAnubisUSA thanks
@@ProjectAnubisUSAnot true. Level 4 plates fitting perfectly fine.
@@aesthetic8780 ummm… I said “I don’t think” 💭 never said I tried. They could’ve also updated it since 2 years ago…
How’s this plate carrier holding up? I’m looking to make a budget friendly kit and wondered if I should bother with this company

@@ProjectAnubisUSA thank you I appreciate it!
I can’t find this on their website, it says JPC 2.0 but it doesn’t have the cummerbund + it doesn’t look the same.
they must be sold out of the 2.0; check ebay
@@ProjectAnubisUSA it says jpc 2.0 on there site + it shows like 1-2 pics of the jpc in your video but then it shows a different plate carrier in other photos.
@@EthanCmsrc108 Interesting, see if you can send them a message to make sure you get the one you want.
@@EthanCmsrc108Are you d0mb? Stop trolling
Is this placard ready? I want to run the Haley TRMP with this
If you have a way to attach it to velcro or molle you can add it.
I was wondering how long shipping took

Hi is that plate carrier IR compliant?
