    I still have and use my ACU chest rig I bought for my deployment to Iraq in 09. I'm wanting to retire it, but you guys can't keep your chest rigs in stock for more than 5 minutes. A good problem to have.

    I think what you're seeing with the chest rigs and plate carrier market is more beginner friendly products. Its not necessarily because people are lazy, its more of people recognizing their own ignorance on a subject and don't have the time or the money to dedicate to researching and testing multiple variations on their kit.

    On buying mil surplus armor, ie MICH helmets. Be careful what you buy, storage (was it stored away from sunlight) and the color of the helmet (light colors don't protect the kevlar as well as dark colors from UV.) can affect the shelf-life.
    Kelvar is incredibly photosensitive, (your plates aren't black to make them look cool). So those worn helmets that were out baking in the afghan sun are best avoided.
    :EDIT: Any other claims about durability are a liability issue made by Dupont, Kevlar is very good at retaining its properties over long periods of time, as long as it is kept out of the sun (UV being your enemy). :EDIT:

I'd love to know what your qualifications are, because it's well known that UV light is absorbed more abundantly in dark colors than in lighter ones. Light colors in fact reflect UV, which is why it is so easy to sunburn near reflective surfaces, like a white boat for instance.

    I wonder why load bearing vests aren't that popular anymore. It seems the now stylish plate carriers don't actually carry all that much. I guess they're good for the range, or if you'll only be out of the house a few hours, but the load bearing vests can carry mags, holster, water, food, extra socks, gloves, etc, etc., and can be thrown on over a naked plate carrier, if you actually need armor.

    • @zgSH4DOW
      @zgSH4DOW 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      LBVs are much less modular, have less real estate, and are nigh useless in the back
      Plate carriers are extremely modular, one-piece, and stable. They're getting smaller because people are being honest--you don't need that much gear. If MOLLE space is a concern, it probably isn't urgent anyway. It can go in a backpack. You certainly can't maneuver well with a rucksack's worth of gear flapping about. Armor is a quick option for a PC; stacking LBVs over an additional PC isn't
      If lack of space was a concern, people wouldn't ALSO reject LBVs a second time in favor of chest rigs

I practice slinging it off and pulling mags and tourniquets etc., seems a little silly or over the top while I'm ducking for cover behind cardboard boxes, but I know with confidence that I can use the kit I have quickly and efficiently.

    Harnessed molle belt underneath pc worked pretty good for me in airsoft when I was a teenager. Kept weight off hips. I know belts should be at your waist, but half of pants expect you to have no ass and if you hike the waist to your waist you castrate yourself.

    If you want in stock affordable plate carriers Grey Shop sells a load of Russian plate carriers including repros of the Crye JPC and 5.11 Tac Tec. I got the Crye JPC for $200 and it came with mag pouch flap too. Seems to be high quality and work well, Russian SF use the plate carriers sold there so they at least surviving use in Syria

    Ended up getting a Crye Precision Jumpable Plate Carrier. Bit of a shame, since I liked the AC 1 setup. Time to add T. Rex Arms to the bin of awesome firearm vendors who have great stuff, but just had their supply chain implode. I’ve been keeping tabs on the products I want from these troubled vendors, and they’ve been out of stock for over a year. T. Rex Arms is looking like they’re going down the same road on some of their products.
    I appreciate these videos a lot and watch all their stuff, love their rifle sling and deals on hescos. However, it’s kinda a bad sign when a company is helping you find products that isn’t theres. Means it’s going to be a while before they get more of their plate carriers, chest rigs, etc. in stock. Used AC UNO’s in an undesirable size with a shingle are selling more on ebay than the retail price new.
    I bought a set of hesco L210s partially for the novelty and larp factor, but mainly for protection. I’m receiving emails from my utility company to reduce power usage to avoid rolling blackouts, and I don’t even live in California or Texas. Water is becoming scarce where I’m at to the point people from out of state are trading water rights here like it’s the stock market. I recently went on a tour through the Glen Canyon Dam on the Colorado River, and they’re talking about shutting down the power generators because there’s not enough water in Lake Powell. I’m seeing reports that if my state can’t import electricity this summer, we could be facing 300 hours of rolling blackouts. Sorry, but we can’t wait for you to build a supply chain again.

    I will agree the haley micro makes a poor chestrig, but it does serve well as a placard on a plate carrier for a class/hd setup. The front is the best admin pouch I’ve used, and the pistol pouches are great for lights/tools/tqs. Just need to have meds on the cummerbund/in a dangler if you want to carry it on the pc.

    Get a "concealed carry" safariland then upgrade it with a ubl and leg strap. Thats what I did. Granted I already had the ubl and strap. But its only about 50 bucks and you can upgrade as needed. You don't need the 100+ safariland fully kited holster.

    Tactical peanut butter will now be part of my loadout. But I found the Haley Flatpack as a backpack over the D3 micro chest rig is a good setup, both lightweight and I can access my pack by just pulling it off. Straps are thin and don't interfere with shouldering a rifle.

    ACHs are literally still Issued to everyone but the coolest of cool guys in the Army.

    It was prob the Navy that regulated AO1. They don't want other military branches or countries using their camo. That's why USMC came out with MARPAT and hid their logo in the print. The Navy copied the idea so I'm sure they were pretty protective of it at first.

    Back panels and back mounted stuff in general is stupid unless it's a hydration pouch or you're on a team and you have flashbangs for your buddy to grab. As a civilian you should focus on a good backpack that you can take off without removing your armor or other load bearing kit.

      Exactly this. The only thing I could potentially even remotely consider being justifiable on your back is one of those elongated 6x12 inch pouches made for carrying surplus junk, like gloves, snacks, etc. Sort of like an ass end phanny pack.
