Thanks brother, I knew the 2.0 didn't come with a kangaroo pouch, but knowing the 1.0 is ready out of the box your video was very helpful.

[@evanthompson9993]

Your video sealed the deal for me brother. I’m looking for a good quality PC with a smaller profile than the IBA we were issued back in the day. When shopping, the “2.0” was just obviously the right plan because it projects the image of being new and improved over the generation before it. Your explanation definitely is directed at what will work for me. Appreciate it!

I’m trying to decide between the JPC 1.0 vs 2.0 vs Mayflower APC. I heard that the JPC 1.0’s plate bags run smaller. So a JPC 1.0 size Large is needed to fit most medium plates . I believe CRYE fixed this sizing issue in the 2.0. Can anyone confirm this?

Great review bro! Helped me, ty

[@Themichaelwesten]

Go JPC 2.0 with a Spiritus, D3CRM of mag placard. The 1.0 is perfect if you just want it set out the box like he said but the 2.0 imo is worth it

[@NemeanIndustries]

Did the JPC 2.0 and Spiritus combo, wasn’t a huge fan. Crouching or getting into the prone with the weight of the placard would cause it to start pulling away from the plate carrier. Like the Velcro wasn’t good enough so it would flop around a little bit. Not terrible, but not secure enough for what I wanted.

[@Themichaelwesten]

Cole Gillespie I had that issue at first because I had an HSP MMHv2 under it and I moved the HSP under the cummerbund flaps then placed the spiritus over the flaps and it stared sticking better for me with all that weight in there. But it’s still thick out front with both of those. If there’s no need to run a loop panel placard out front then the 1.0 is the best option.

[@NemeanIndustries]

Agreed. If you’re not going to run a placard and you’re never going to need .308 mags, you don’t need a 2.0 lol

[@masonbohall]

[@80Demitri]

Great info...thanks!

[@JesusPaidItAll]

Thanks for the review Kol. This helped a lot. What are your thoughts on the SPC?

[@NemeanIndustries]

I like the idea of the SPC but it’s similar to the JPC 2.0 in that it doesn’t come complete and ends up being expensive. However, I’ve never actually used one so I can’t really say!

[@nadoProducer]

Civvy with a bunch of time on both the JPC 2.0 and the SPC here. If you have a JPC already, either 1.0 or 2.0, I wouldn't really bother going to an SPC unless you have a maritime context. In some ways, it's an upgrade. But in other ways, the SPC has some strange design decisions that can be frustrating to work around. The most common problems are the oddly high placard mounting points, limited PTT real estate, and the potential need for fabric plate coverings (ex S&S Precision SOCS). The most standout pro of the SPC is the cost: you get an JPC 2.0 feature suite for only $169--assuming you already own a Crye-compatible cummerbund and front flap. As Mr Gillespie has already pointed out, this could very well be a negative point if you don't already have these components on hand. Other than that, you get unmatched water drainage, incredible water resistance, and probably the best-in-class ratio of durability-to-lightness.

[@pehenry]

Welp, thanks to your video, I ordered a Large JPC off Ebay. I hope I got a legit one. Now to find some plates.

How far into your army carrier were you before you could run your own gear? Unit specific or what? I always see some guys with issued gear, and then some have like “aftermarket” gear. How’s all that work?

[@NemeanIndustries]

Totally unit specific. Some commanders prefer the “uniformity” of everyone having the same issued gear on and that’s it. Some of it’s probably that issued gear is what the Army has tested and approved. Other units don’t care so long as you can wear plates and your standard load outs and stuff.
