Eagle CIRAS

[edittman1]

I found a killer deal on the Eagle CIRAS land armor carrier, $199.99! The problem is that it only comes in XL.

I've tried to find information online about sizing but have come up with so much info it's confusing. Some say that the size is merely for the size of the plates, at least on the plate carriers, but since this is an armor carrier, it will also accomodate different size body armor.

I'm 6'0 tall, 30" inseam, 33" waist, 40" chest.

Will this rig fit me OK?

It's $400 less than most places, so if it's close I'm thinking about trying it!

where was this?

cheaperthandirt.com - only came in XL for $200 though.

I found it in ACU on here for $200, in Medium, which is apparently the size I need since I'm 6'0 with a 33" waist. The XL is for sasquatch based on reading other forum posts, etc.

Here is a good thread on it:

Cool link...thanks for sharing as it has the "schematics" for sizing.

Yeah. I hope the medium rig I picked up works OK.
