𝗕𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗧𝗘 𝗖𝗔𝗥𝗥𝗜𝗘𝗥𝗦 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯 (Crye Precision JPC 2.0/AVS/SPC, Spiritus Systems, Ferro Concepts, Agilite)

In this video, we review the Crye Precision JPC 2.0, Crye Precision AVS, Crye Precision SPC, Spiritus Systems LV-119, Ferro Concepts FCPC V5, Agilite K19, and Velocity Systems SCARAB LT plate carriers. We also share comparison data on the Qore Performance IcePlate EXO® Ultralight Ventilated Plate Carrier.
Plate carriers are one of the most important kit decisions we can make when it comes to preparation for armed combat, but with so many plate carriers on the market today, how do you know which one is right for you and your application?
Until now, there has been almost no empirical data collection on plate carriers with most purchasing decisions driven by subjective opinions and hype trends rather than hard facts. Our INSIGHTS technical plate carrier review series aims to change that. Enjoy!

Video Format Notes
These videos started as a way for us to answer frequently asked customer questions about how to integrate our IceAge Ecosystem of performance enhancing thermoregulation and hydration tools with leading plate carriers on the market. As we started answering more and increasingly detailed questions, customers started to ask us for our opinions on their plate carrier selections. In an effort to remove any bias we might have, our format attempts to be as empirical as possible We avoid sharing anything that is subjective, qualitative, conjecture, or opinion. Instead, we stick to facts and science to provide you with the information you need to be the greatest version of yourself.

K19 is the most comfortable load caring plate carrier. Look at how large the shoulder padding is. Look at all the seatbelt rifle slings. Why? When you carry or wear these things all day. Size does matter in some things.

Agreed. You can only gather so much data larping on the range.

[@jonathanw8733]

Love my k19. Work in south Tx where it’s hot. The little extra weight is in the built in padding which some of the others have none. That little bit makes it a lot more comfortable when you’re wearing it for a long time.

[@mansfield777]

Same. My K19s don't feel nearly as heavy as other plate carriers.

[@EricAssaf]

I’m looking to buy my first plate carrier. With my primary concerns being comfort/use in hot environments (I live in East Texas where it gets hot and humid) The new Aglite K Zero just released I may look into buying that because of your comment but I haven’t decided.

[@mansfield777]

@@EricAssaf I'm in Southeast Texas. I have worn many different plate carriers in this area for up to 12 hours at a time. The way the K19 feels in the field is unmatched. In my previous carriers, I would always have shoulder and back soreness after five or six hours in one. Not with the K19. I imagine the K Zero will be even better!

[@mansfield777]

Plus, it's super comfortable compared to the rest.

[@M4HRed]

[@AlphabetBoisAreSmelly]

I bought an agilite k-zero a few months back, super light super mobile, it’s a smaller system so it doesn’t give as much protection but it is so comfortable and the added mobility and speed I get with this system is very important to me, for me personally I expect to be using it when I’m evading and moving through the woods and trying to keep my load light while still having some protection. It also breathes very well.

[@lucastonoli3256]

"it’s a smaller system so it doesn’t give as much protection" Unless I'm missing on something, non of the systems shown here had any less or more protection, these are all plate carriers, only the plate protects you. One could argue about the Velocity System, but that's about it.

[@KingNuada86]

I haven't used many different carriers, but one I have owned and used for about 7 years now is the JPC 2.0. At this point I would take that over any hot new thing. It's simple and it has worked great. If the lv119 ever comes out in small though, I'd buy one of those. Spiritus systems is a great company.

[@grobtheory466]

That's looking like my most likely candidate. Does it come stock with ar mag tacos or did you have to buy separate? Any advice on options to get with it? Thanks man

ID love to see you do a review of the LBT g3 And or the Regular 6094. I have ran the 6094 for almost 10 years now, and the last few years ive been using the G3 V2 and have been extremely impressed with the overall functions and capabilities . Ive ran some JPCs a few years back and of course i enjoyed them but i always go back to London Bridge Carriers. I liked the jpc for the low profile option and got the LBT low profile PC to wear under a split rig, and the Slick PC to run under clothing for scenarios where that was needed. Ive Always loved London bridges gear from the very first time i was issued some of their gear. Ive never had a single failure out of any product form them from the dozen PCs, Chest Rigs, Rucksacks, Day packs, and loadout bags. putting them through back to back to back deployments.. Their quality and customer service is aboce and beyond many companies. Id love to see how their products would perform with your meticulous testing and reviewing. Hands down even though you guys test to show the benefits and negatives of plate carriers based around your field of products its the best testing anyones ever done i believe to date. you clearly show what really matters when wearing kit and hammer home the importance of weight savings and how easily a great carrier can become a nightmare when retaining. water and sweat> There are too many people who only think about the looking cool or whats the biggest hype at this point in time instead of the things that actually matter. I see alot of ppl getting the k19 and i even looked at it and thought about it cause it looks cool, and comfortable but after your overview i am glad i didnt fall for that trap lol. I do have their mag panel though those pincer mag pouches are the beezzz kneezzz

[@blkstang4830]

[@deismoday]

Lmao Good vid. I'm still wearing my condor plate carrier with crye skeletal cumberbund and issued plates. Might upgrade the front and back carrier of the PC later but if anything the shoulder straps would be next for improvement. Works for me and was less than $200 with the upgrades mentioned. Though I did need to buy my own side plate carriers from a surplus store, so bump that price up to $250.

[@485thENCO]

Ive got nothing but good to say about my FCPC V5, i did upgrade to a cummerbund from javlin , though, runs much better now

[@bradchenoweth7584]

[@QorePerformanceUSA]

We don’t have an opinion on any of these PCs. All of the testing data is simply empirical fact. See disclosures in opening segment of video, but where the PCs fall in the rankings compared to other PCs is a direct result of the design.

In your experience, how's the spc compare to avs in load carriage? Which is more comfortable? Also do you have any experience with the crye cpc or whiskey two four plate carrier 24?

[@pakman184]

The CPC is effectively an outdated AVS. Some people have noted that it's slightly better at carrying extremely heavy loads, however the AVS gives you substantially more options and scalability. The CPC also tends to run a lot hotter than an AVS.

[@reyvan3806]

I'd like to see how the Haley Strategic carrier stacks up. I love AVS but I think its price makes it a poor choice for people that have to buy thier own stuff and a lot of its advantages might not be worth it for civilian use either.

[@QorePerformanceUSA]

We considered including the Thorax in the 2022 video. It uses more traditional construction techniques and commonly available materials (nylon, foam, etc.) already used by others like Crye, Spiritus, Velocity and Ferro. Thorax is a fine PC to be sure with quality construction. It just isn't the most high-tech, isn't the lightest, isn't the cheapest, etc. It isn't #1 in the world at any one thing.

[@AlexGrigGor]

I like the crye spc, but I would like to see the high speed gear core plate carrie. Thank you.

[@Scalpel_main]

Are the thermal transmittance numbers accounting for these carriers being outfitted with ice vents as well?

[@QorePerformanceUSA]

The Thermal Transmittance numbers are for IcePlate Curve only. The Experimental Design is posted in the INSIGHTS article (after all the videos) with all of the testing results and has additional details (first link in the Show Notes). Our K19 video also has a slightly more details on Thermal Transmittance at 8:42 because that is the video where we introduced the test: kzbin.info/www/bejne/boS2eKytjdqll80

[@JG41]

I really like my Crye SPC but with multiple back injuries from the military, it is a bitch when it comes to comfort. I like the structured cummerbund as well but I would like to try out the tubes that a lot of people are starting to run without having to extensively modify the cummerbund. After watching your vid on adding icevents to the plates within the SPC, I think I'm going to try that before outright trying a different carrier.

[@UncleWayne5104]

I would have liked the K-Zero to have been included, but I'm assuming that given date of recording it wasn't available?

[@iPervy]

Only have two carriers and thats the SPC, and a AC1 from TRex. I like both, and happy with both overall for the prices I got them for. SPC seems like a carrier with maritime in mind compared to the JPC, but I do feel most would be better off with the JPC since the openess of the SPC can really cake up with muck and debris on a muddy day. And the 3 tier cummerbund gives you more options for attatching things compared to the two of the SPC. I like my SPC though, and only thing I hate about it is how much of a pain it is to readjust the cummerbund lol. Also I wish it was a 3 tier rather than 2 tier molle system personally. Also shoulder straps don't tighten down far enough for me, so I had to over bundle them making them cut into my shoulders more than by design intended it. The AC1 I use solely for conceal carrying plates and a firearm underneath my work clothes everyday. Dont put any accessories beside maybe a spare mag, or cuffs. But usually only have it for iiia plates and my firearm + pepper spray as I can completely conceal them in the cummerbund via a remora 2 in 1 +clip holster when I wear my work coveralls. Does great for that purpose of just carrying plates and giving you some options if needed. Had to modify the sholder straps to make it sit at a angle rather than just 90degrees cutting into my traps. not of fan how they didn't design it with some kind of cant for shoulders. Thinking of getting another carrier, for concealment like my AC1, but yet to find one I feel sparks the wallet just yet.

[@sethstaart9600]

I don’t mind the weight of the carrier when I’m comfortable, I’ll pay to be just that bit more comfortable.

[@Anarcho-harambeism]

i was actually surprised that the k19 wasnt the heaviest

[@QorePerformanceUSA]

We were also surprised by this because the K19 is so incredibly heavy in and of itself. As you can see from the data in the tables though, the margin is closer than one would think. With the AVS the weight is able to provide some load bearing benefit, unlike the K19 where the weight just means more heat retention and more bulk: www.qoreperformance.com/blogs/military-insights/plate-carrier-reviews

How come there is no comparison in IR/thermal repellency for these carriers?

[@QorePerformanceUSA]

Coming in the 2023 series…

[@FocusedHands]

Could you look at the RTS Tactical OPSEC Advanced Quick Release Plate Carrier

[@QorePerformanceUSA]

If we get enough requests for it, absolutely! As noted above, we don’t actually select the carriers for our videos. Our audience/customers do. We hope this helps, but please let us know if you have any additional questions. #StayFrosty

will there come a video from the new agilite k zero

[@QorePerformanceUSA]

Possibly.

[@robmallen684]

id love to see javlin concepts jac tested

[@shavaunshaw5732]

I have zero problems with my k19. I’m the the central US and the pc keeps me nice and toasty. Fits my plates/backers with no problem what so ever. It’s all down to user preference and what’s most important to the user and the k19 was it for me. Great videos btw.

[@QorePerformanceUSA]

With five "worst" ratings according to the testing data, the K19 finished last in more categories than any other plate carrier: www.qoreperformance.com/blogs/military-insights/plate-carrier-reviews

[@FireCampSecurity]

​@@QorePerformanceUSA I was going to say, my k19 I can barely shoulder my rifle. It's definitely not natural. Hype carrier and it's poop.

[@NoTbAdDuDE134]

Yeah, proves that at the end personal preference decides. Had the JPC for four years and definitely prefer my new K19 Gen 3.0 over it 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@shavaunshaw5732]

@@QorePerformanceUSA that’s based on your opinion and that’s fine. Just because it doesn’t integrate with your products doesn’t mean it’s a bad PC. At the end of the day people will hate products just because randos on the internet said it was bad without trying it for themselves. I did my research, I tried on all the carriers that I was interested in and I liked the k19 3.0 out of all of them. And if you think it’s so bad you should go in gear groups and see how many people suggest the k19 3.0 out of all the PCs you’ve tested. P.S, I’m using it instead of my IOTV, I have to carry a lot of crap and it’s leagues above in comfort.

The back and forth between quiet talking and loud ass music kinda pissed me off because I kept having to go back and forth with my volume lol

[@samsaasen4922]

My crye spc is showing up today. I wanted something more minimalistic for a carrier

[@serra_edoardo]

What about direct action's spitfire mk2?

[@2jzgteSupraJZA80]

Hands down Shaw Concepts for me!

[@gamerxg7789]

Why does the ammo place at the front won’t it be dmg by a fire shots

[@orestis38]

You should definintely check out Husar, they make amazing stuff.

[@trevorj.8401]

What are your thoughts on shellback tactical?

[@QorePerformanceUSA]

We didn't consider it for 2022 or 2023.

[@Captain_Spaulding_01]

@@QorePerformanceUSA why?

[@QorePerformanceUSA]

Like the HSP Thorax, Shellback uses more traditional construction techniques and commonly available materials (nylon, spacer mesh, foam [Thorax], etc.) already long used by others like Crye, Spiritus, Velocity and Ferro. The Banshee and the Thorax are both fine PCs with quality American construction. They just aren't the most high-tech, aren’t the lightest, aren’t the cheapest, etc. They aren't #1 in the world at any one thing. For this rough price point, we opted to test the Shaw Concepts ARC V2 over HSP, Shellback, and others. Make sure you are sub’d to our LaunchPad emails and our channel to get notified when that video goes live.

I sold a JPC 1.0 to fund my new LV119.
