Anyone know if there are other brands that make mag pouches that are compatible with the JPC velcro system?

Thats why I prefer the JPC1.0 over the 2.0. The 1.0 already has a molle front flap with integrated 3 mag pouch. You can carry 3 m4 mags right out of the box. And its $40 cheaper.

My first step into the world of armor. Learning alot that's for sure.

Any thoughts on the hesco 4401 plates?

I just bought the L210s and the 4401 seem a bit better.

I'm satisfied with my 4-pc Level III+ plates in my Weesatch plate carrier with 6x2 mag pouches. Is it a heavy pig to wear, yes, and I'd never wear that rig over water but it's my hunker-down gear. If I need to pull that on, I'll be behind cover & leaning on something. It's not meant for running & gunning.

Yeah, I'll eventually go to PE plates, but after it improves another gen or 2, and after getting NVGs

Wanting to go a different direction with my setup (Shellback Patriot with lightweight AR500 level 3+ that I mostly use for exorcise). After re-reading this entire thread and then some, I ended up buying a Crye Airlite SPC. Now I need to find a set of large plates to match it and my body size (long torso). My criteria is finding sub 6lbs per plate, level “III+” or level 4, multi curve, and under $400 per plate.

So far it looks like I should be considering the RMA 1093 which is listed at $319.99 each with a 6-8 week lead time. Any other good suggestions that I may have missed? Thanks for any input. Take care.

Does the 10X12 plate fit in the JPC or just SAPI?

[afteractionreport]

10x12 fit the jpc. I have the shooters cut L210s in 10x12

Not all 10x12s are the same. The L210s are very thin so they fit. But plates like the Battlesteel or LAPG plates wont fit.
