    Using crye avs with spiritus side armour pouches with soft armour packs in it. Decided to buy a pair of 6x6 hard armour plates after this video. Thanks

      How is it working for you on the Avs? And which cumberbund are you using?

      why does an englishman need body armor, don't you guys already have your balls snipped by your government?

    I remember a Ukr soldier getting a frag in the quick release buckle, right between the side and front plates.

    My plate carrier side AP plates are taller than the side pouches... I just had Korean lady sow in longer Velcro to fit plate...which brings coverage upto under armpit

    Ive always run 6x8 hard in the weak side plate to the front and strong side to the rear. It stops blind spots from the front and back.

      Might do that myself
      Not a fan of adding more weight to my load
      But I'm seeing more and more people with combat experience tell stories about someone getting hit in the side, and the importance of side plates

      @@ch3cksund3ad having been shot, I really really don’t wanna get shot again. I may even get soft armor to go under it eventually. I recommend side plates if you can afford them 100%

      I assume you'd use a 6x6 on the strong side?
      That sorta lines up with a somewhat bladed shooting stance doesn't it?
      And I guess it's less likely to obstruct a sidearm draw probably?

      So a 6x8 on each side isn't too bulky or cumbersome, is it?

    So, if I'm understanding this right this means that if you only have 6x6 then you don't need a cap?

    Hey Adam, what combination of placards are you running on the front of your carrier in this vid? I really like that setup but can’t find a way to replicate it

      Looks like a Mk5 with BFG triple elastic mag pouch on the front and some TQ pouches on the sides of the Mk5.

      It’s not blueforce I’m nitpicking but it’s a new spiritus elastic prototype but blueforce will work perfectly.

    Do the side armor bags come with the caps? Or are they sold separately

    I get wearing a side plate for forward on the weak side for rifle presentation. Is there good justifiable reasons for wearing side armor tword the rear on the strong side?
