Looking for a plate carrier.

Postby Falcon7 » Sun May 15, 2011 9:33 pm

OD, preferably something I can buy localish. Mostly need to carry four mags in the front and mount a hydration carrier in the back. I kinda like the look of the ones with the buckles in front but I'd like a recommendation from somebody who has experience with them. Thanks.

Try the classifieds, or the Buy/Sell section.
In the WTB (Want To Buy) section . . . it's the proper place for this.

A buckle in the front of a plate carrier? Do you mean something more like a 2 piece TT MAV?

Get a plate carrier WITHOUT the shitty buckles and shitty PALs and shitty tac vest.

You were looking at a tac vest. That's a bad idea.

He might have been referring to one of the Eagle PC with cummerbunds or their replicas... Don't they have front buckles on the shoulders?

Go to Http://www.airsoftoutletnw.com or http://www.airsoftammosupply.com and look at the pictures. They have a section for specific types of gear and pictures of what each plate carrier looks like.

Unless you have a long shaped thorax/midsection, I'd recommend against that MOLLE vest with the two buckles in the front. If you are gangly, then it'll work perfect for you and I'd recommend it (Phoenix from CAG has one and loves it).

If you really mean Plate Carrier (which I don't think you do), then I'd recommend the MOPC plate carrier. It has room on the front for mags and comes in OD. It's a lot cheaper than it feels and is a great deal:
http://airsoftoutletnw.com/index.php?pa ... &Itemid=28

But it sounds like you really should be looking at going with this:
http://airsoftoutletnw.com/index.php?pa ... &Itemid=28

If you don't like what you see, there are other options but they are a lot more expensive.

My plate carrier is great, but probably too much for you:
http://www.tacticaltailor.com/platecarriermodular.aspx

My RRV is great, but also, probably too much for you:
http://www.bdstacticalgear.com/pd-bds-t ... st-rig.cfm

The one you're talking about sounds like the two piece MAV from Tacticaltailor, which I believe Cap_N_Pickles is selling one of:

That's just a back plate portion.

It's $52 alone and basically half of the total plate carrier, which is cheaper at AONW:

Great for smaller or larger people.
