Shaw Concepts Plate Carrier v2

[@McMeatBag]

I have entered the "I have no intention of buying this, I just like watching you talk about gear" stage

[@EODFish]

I can’t explain the joy that brings me.

[@zacherndon9521]

Definitely the best plate carrier I've ever worn. I love it, worth every penny.

[@bartholomewst.juniorstein8814]

He took every complaint i had about my strandhogg and solved it.. shoulder straps were bulky, fixed it. Cumberbund was floppy floppy, fixed it. Plates fit kind loose in mine, fixed it. Rapid adjustable cumberbund in the front and added stretch from the back. Like god damn he really thought it out. Im buying one the second they allow orders again.

[@FierceGK1]

Great review! Really appreciate you showing off all the features that Shaw's website doesn't go into detail on.

[@TerryWhisk]

Those diagonal onewrap straps on the top corners of the platebag are probably meant to have the shoulder strap ends routed under them considering the angle

[@Helghastdude]

that was exactly my thought

[@tardigradetactical3452]

Internal onewrap is probably to secure the piece of the shoulder strap going down behind the spider system. It would lock it in between to layers, not counting the mesh spacer.

[@TheBigjake240]

think the one wrap on the top of the front plates is to secure the shoulder strap Velcro's even more?

[@zerofire3172]

I think v1 without shoulder tubes would be doper

[@deadeye5155]

Spiritus backpanels on this would be awesome

[@robertelmore3616]

Wish they made these for small, or shooter cut plates.

[@EvanH1105]

How would you compare this to a upgraded SPC with all of the AXL attachments ?

[@BigBatts]

Ahem. Plush llama.

[@midshippie87]

Agree on the expense. I get it, quality has cost, just tough for people to justify in a very competitive market. Also wish the wings stayed like you mentioned from v.1

[@blakerf555]

The wings are gone because now Shaw sells them as a separate accessory. Gives you the option to run it or not run it. And options are almost always good.

[@midshippie87]

@@blakerf555 what are they called because I don't see them

[@blakerf555]

@@midshippie87 the SSV2 and the ARC radio pouch. Both still padded for the body side of the pouch but also allow you to remove and replace the pouch with whatever molle pouch you prefer. They can either attach under the placard or inside of the pontoons on the ARCV2. The SSV2 is for mags or knives or smaller radios (UV5R) and the ARC Radio pouch fits larger radios. This allows the plate carrier to scale up or down more so than a fixed system

[@midshippie87]

@@blakerf555 I saw those but guess I preferred a normal flap. But to each their own/giving people the option

[@blakerf555]

@@midshippie87 yeah this way you could totally strip the V2 down to just plate bags, remove the pontoons (make sure the spider system is under the sewn in one wrap) then replace the cummerbunds with elastics and have a totally slick carrier with virtually no bulk or somebody could build it up as much as they can imagine

[@benhammond6960]

Are you going to make a video comparing the crye AVS and the Shaw v2?

[@EODFish]

No?

[@princetonazp]

Do you think the sm/med ARC V2 would be able to take thicker plates? Looking at some highcom 3s9m shooters cuts that are 1.1” thick and am worried they might not fit.

[@EODFish]

I had esapi and backers in there

[@WolfP4ckDraco]

Im looking at the agilite plate carrier. Have you reviewed it or have any recommendations? Will be using it for training and police force

[@EODFish]

I have never had hands on it but have no love for the design.

[@WolfP4ckDraco]

@@EODFish from your experience and expertise which would be your go too ?

[@kalanipitmon7817]

How is it shouldering a rifle with the big shoulder pads? Is it sifficult to get a go od consistent cheek weldm

[@EODFish]

It’s not bad at all.

[@henryliu1046]

in your opinion, how does this compare to the wtf plate carrier 24?

[@EODFish]

Shaw, PC24, and SPC/AVS are in my opinion the best load bearing rigs out.

[@nateoglesbee7341]

Can you do a video on the qore performance ice plate exo. Barely any videos on it and all the ones on KZbin I feel are sponsored by the company itself

[@EODFish]

Ask them to send me one. I can’t afford that video.

[@nateoglesbee7341]

@@EODFish lol yes they are pricey just like the v2

[@weekendwarrior8334]

Does this plate carrier have enough adjustability in the shoulder straps for someone around 5’7-5’9 to get the plate bags high enough? Thanks

[@2jzgteSupraJZA80]

I’m 5’7 about 170 lbs and own the ARC V2. I gotta say although its expansive it’s hands down the best on the market and worth every hard earned dollar spent. Shaw Concepts fixes everything other plate carriers lack. Honesty something like the highly popular Agilite K-19 or K-Zero doesn’t even come close in comparison.

[@weekendwarrior8334]

@@2jzgteSupraJZA80 Thank you so much for the informed reply!

[@snake6221]

​@2jzgteSupraJZA80 I just ordered the ARC V2 and I noticed the description of this review doesn't say ARC nor does he say it. Is his the ARC or just a different V2?

[@weekendwarrior8334]

@@snake6221 it’s v2

[@bigbluemsp]

Shaw makes great stuff but everything they make is 2x-3x the price of everything comparable to them in quality. Which is why very few people run their stuff.

[@tactical_mumin]

is this size medium or larger?

[@EODFish]
