Ferro Concepts FCPCV5: Gear Breakdown and Sneak Peek of New Upgrades

- In this video, the OTG crew pairs up with Ferro Concepts to discuss the FCPCV5, and the new soft armor panels and radio pouch that will be released early next year (2023).
Full disclosure, I (Jared) really did not want to like this armor system. I’ve never been a fan of the skateboarder marketing vibe, and I preferred to go with companies like Mayflower, or Crye for their time tested reliability. But, as soon as I put on the FCPC with the side armor, I was converted. Truly the best low profile Structural stabilization I have found. I gave away my Velocity SCARAB. The FCPC is better even than the Crye AVS, which I also have, as the stabilization comes with 3A protection and far less girth than the AVS.
Also, let the record reflect none of us have been paid to say any of these things, and we have been evaluating the kit in a variety of conditions for a while now. We are simply evaluating the equipment and giving feedback from an end user perspective to help in future improvements.

that breaching shotgun "holster" setup is pretty boss
Yeah been running it like that a long time, tried magnets and other cummerbund mounts but had more issues. This is a Blackhawk “weapons catch”, they still make them.
@@oriontraininggroupllc2782 What size ballistics does the ferro cumberbund take?
@beck5492 they sell their own that are designed to cover your entire side or you can buy a velcro side plate pocket to stick to the inside of the cumberbund in whatever side plate size you want as long as you dont go with something huge. Ferros fit the plate carrier best though and these guys all mentioned how comfortable they are because they really hug your sides.
Love the ranger green across the board! Thank you for all the content you have been creating!
I upgraded from the Slickster to the FCPC V5. Very happy that I purchased one. The FCPC is super comfortable. I don't think the FCPC gets the attention it deserves.
I just ordered the FCPC In ranger green with the assault cummerbund and the D.O.P.E. front flap, and I'm excited to start running it!
@@jonnyboy414 Nice! You'll really like the FCPC.
Take my money now!!! Love my ferro fcpc!!! Been waiting for this for awhile
Just got my side plates for my vest, love it!
definitely love the fcpc v5, awesome product needs more adapt attachments though
I may need to invest in this carrier with the side armor setup in the future.
"Like the name of the system" no one laughed and his soul died
Very informative video on crucial life saving and sustaining Equipment 🇺🇲👍
Love the new intro homies
I’m a believer as well, this replaced my AVS and I haven’t looked back. Been running it a year w the hydration and banger back panels. Perfection.
Does it hold weight as well as the avs
It's neat to see a breacher using something other than a serbu as their shotgun selction. Having an almost full sized shotgun means you could effectively use it if your rifle goes down, and it gives the ammo versatility of the 12 gauge
Overall it’s a cool carrier. Love the side armor taking the weight off the shoulders. Where I’m at we have to run hard plates on the side though. Wish there was a way to have both.
Another option if you are running hard side plates are the spiritus options. They have a pocket that takes a solid plates and soft 3a behind it that wraps around similarly to Ferro.
Who makes the waist pack Jared is wearing? Would make a great Ifak for patrol
“The best, only way to go 👍🏼”

Hello guys, a question for you ( the answer could help many others buying over internet) :
How did you go about figuring out what size to order for your cummerbunds, seeing that you all have different waist sizes and you all have to take into account the usage of soft body armor (also maybe hard armor) but also inner radio pouches....and that those elements need to be taken into consideration before ordering a (needed) given cummerbund size?
YES FINALLY!!!!
I need that side armor
See this video just in time to look at convertible/concealable armor systems
A little late so I hope you see this!
Just an initial guess, Do you think the side plate system would be compatible with my current spiritus lv119? I can’t justify a new plate carrier over what I have but the slide plate system is just what I’ve been looking for from a coverage standpoint.
It interfaces directly to the 3AC with corresponding hook and loop panels, so if the LV119 cbund you have allows for that, then perhaps.
No problems getting a new cummerbund if it’s needed to support the side armor. Thanks!
@@oriontraininggroupllc2782the crye avs cummerbund has Velcro loop on the inside and it is compatible with the lv119 if you are interested on running it on one.
Only thing I don’t like about the rear bag is the lack of Velcro to hold the Roll1 in place
Yeah. One of the first things we addressed with them. Hopefully can they can lengthen the Velcro strip while maintaining elasticity of the bag
I stuck mine between the back of the plate carrier and the flap that holds the plate in place. It works great. But my biggest concern is Velcro that holds in the insert in place.
How'd you rig up the Shockwave like that? The single bungee running from the shoulder strap I mean.
Just not supper big on the cobra buckles just found that when the get alittle dirt in them you can’t unlatch where as tubes I’ve had no issues with what so ever but to each is to own I suppose
Yeah. Didn’t think of that. My skedco has cobra buckles. It’s great when it’s clean. You can get a casualty in there quick but after training for a day or just sitting in the back of a truck those buckles are fucked…
The Spiritus LV-119 and Ferro FCPV5 are nearly identical in price, between the two, which one is more suited to the hot and humid environment of Louisiana?
Definitely the V5
Identical in price, V5 light years ahead in modularity and function in my opinion (having used both). I abhor the shoulder straps on the LV119. As far as hot and humid weather, that’s more to do with base layer and keeping the plates off your body a bit (like pontoons or the way the soft armor panels on the V5 allow a space to breathe). I wouldn’t say one or the other is necessarily better for that reason alone, unless you’re running some kind of spacer on either one.
Where do you get this side armor? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Thanks.
Another solid video. Great content!
I like that intro
And what are y’all running for QD buckles on the cumberbunds
Not a bad design
What radio pouch is Will running here? I use a Motorola at work and most pouches lately are designed around MPU5s for some reason.
What is the front pannel with admin pouch and mag holder
part of the ferro kangaroo pouch
What brand of gloves are you putting on at 9:45?
who makes the sideways mag holder
New product in development, will be posting more about that when the time comes
Literally take the t rex arms rifle mag carrier with the blade-tech tek-lok and turn it sideways
💂
Built much like Chris there. Long wasted with orangutan arms and the gear just fits different
Where is the side armour from?
sounded like something ferro was testing
What about the SPC?
Are you asking what is our opinion of it?
Bueno
Curious, can the soft armor setup also support the using of side plates?
They’re working on that, as you see it here no
Yeah that would be a great addition. My Units SOP requires side plates. I currently run my Crye JPC w/ the issued side plates and pouches. It definitely sag’s a good bit…
Where do I get the soft armor
Think deeply about what you typed out
Soooo. Where are the first 4V?
Never designed anything?
@@oriontraininggroupllc2782 OHHHH! Yes I did. That makes a shit ton of sense. I have entire folders full of .stls named "project2.5.4finalfnalest2"
I just never assumed they'd release the PC with the working title.
@@wDeXteR4 I know kinda found it weird it's the v5. When they could have put v1 or something
Where can I buy that side armor
Did you even watch the video? Both your questions are directly answered
😮💨
Does anybody run these with DFNDR plates? I know it says they are good up to an inch but the DFNDR plates are just a twat hair larger
Good question I’ll ask the Ferro guys if they’ve seen it
@@oriontraininggroupllc2782 it would be greatly appreciated. Their site mentions the level 3+s which is the same size as all the rest so should be fine but the person running their IG replied and said there might not be full Velcro engagement. Really interested in checking out their plate bags. Currently running the Haley with Axl cummerbund and shoulder pads
@@collinjones311 I texted them someone is going to test it this week and I’ll get back to you here
@@oriontraininggroupllc2782 fantastic. Thank you! I should have clarified that I was asking about a .medium sapi cut in their medium plate bags. Their site mentions the level 3+ but all of the DFNDR plates to my knowledge are 1.1 in in thickness
Defund the police!
Remember this when you will need them to come help you
Warrior assault and training
What kind of a horizontal fast mag carrier are y’all using on your belts?
