    Ironically that's what is in my above picture.

    I was going to sell it since I don't need the Maritime aspect of it.. The problem is finding a replacement in this environment.

    I don't find it any more bulky than any other similar type.. but it is a bit heavier than a slicked down type carrier.. certainly well made. PM me what you are looking to spend. It's used, but in excellent condition.

    And it's awesome with the HESCO III lightweight plates I just got..

    Just got my HESCO lightweight shooters cut.. Man, you can really feel the difference between this an my budget single-curve LAPG plate. The LAPG plate is only a couple of pounds more, but you can REALLY tell and the multi-curve is far more comfortable.

    So, I will be ditching the LAPG plate and getting another HESCO for the back..

    So would you do a shooters cut for the front and a regular SAPI cut for the back or shooter front and rear.. not sure why you would want a shooter cut on the rear unless it was to rotate to the front if the front one takes a round.

    Thoughts?

    Weight is great on that. For these special threat plates do we still need spall guards? I am learning as much as I can on plates to get a few sets

    HUGE HESCO RESTOCK.
    Thanks, Just got a lightweight Level III Hesco plate.. Almost got the ULTRA-lightweight but it's only half a pound.

    So this one in front and my LAPG Level III on the back.. I will try hard not to run away

    Moved the AR500 steel with new spall pads to a cheaper carrier that I'm going to kit up for my son. It's heavy, but he needs the exercise. Ha

    I'm shocked how much stuff is out of stock everywhere.. I was going to buy a PIG carrier to replace my Eagle, but there's nothing anywhere.. crazy..

    So my slightly worn Eagle stays..
