The Plate Carrier Thread - Part II

[comifornia:(]

Mayflower plate carrier with some taco pouches and AR500 III+Lightweight ALSC plates 10x12. Also some Blunt Force Trauma Pads behind the plates.

Nice, I have TACO pouches on my belt.

I may ditch my Crye pouch for a regular MOLLE flap so I can mount a couple of TACOS if I ever wear my carrier without my belt.

Never heard of Spiritus Systems, that looks like a nice, light carrier though.

Curious, do most of these plate carriers have pouches for sideplates? I don't think I'd feel completely safe without sideplates.

My carrier only has Level III-A soft armor in it. I value mobility over stopping tank rounds at my stage of life. If someone wants me with a rifle, they'll probably get me. In the big city, I'm more worried about .25 up to 9mm rounds, primarily.

Typically you have to add pouches for side plates.

Most carriers will have MOLLE on the sides of the cummerbund.

I got a question. How do you get low to the ground with all that gear attached to your chest and abdomen?

I run a Blue Force Gear ten speed pick on front, it's flat as flat can be.... But you can carry three mags if needed. I also have a chest rig and belt set up for different circumstances.

If you HAVE to get low, the last thing on your mind is a couple mags strapped to your chest.

But that's ALSO why I DON'T do double-decker pouches. I KNOW how to get low, but the center mass of me always has other ideas!

Finally stepped up from a .....Condor MPC with lvl III+ lightweight Ar500 steel plates and trauma pad (7.1lbs for plate and pad) to a Velocity Systems Scarab LE with lvl III ceramic plates that weigh 5lbs even.

Scarab with a DC3R micro wont be here till October though

I will post pics when it gets here.
