Low-budget EPC?

Postby Icepick » Thu Mar 03, 2011 9:57 pm

Well, I looked around on the internet a bit and found that an EPC style plate carrier/vest is what I want. The real question is what amount of cash am I gonna have to fork out for one of these? And are there any clones of it? If so, at what price?

The real one goes for $200. It sounds a bit pricey but worth it.

If you can afford a real EPC, then go for it, but the Pantac/Flyye ones aren't bad.

All of the ones linked are the same model, right? The Flyye clone looks wider than the Eagle EPC.

The Condor MOPC looks vaguely like an LE EPC, and it's $60. Also, Ebaybanned has a replica, for about the same price, and i think it comes with pouches.

Of course he's a geek. He lists his location as a place from the Star Wars Universe.

Yet you know that it is from the Star Wars Universe... ;)

For $60 the Condor will do, but what is the quality vs. the Ebaybanned clone?

Also, can I fit 2 of these on the front?

Goddammit Sam.

Stop posting shit tons of threads asking every question you can think of, not heeding anyone's advice, and then posting another thread about what you thought up. Buy an EI Chestrig: http://www.skdtac.com/Eagle_LE_Active_S ... ag.670.htm

$90 shipped.

Now go away.

Their advice and suggestions narrowed down the choice to an EPC replica. And this thread was made to keep the other one dead... And that chest rig is not even near what I want.

I think this time, you can go away.

So obviously the Flyye is the highest quality clone, but is it nessecary to spend the extra money? (I'll probably run this rig for a solid year before updating.)
