I've run IBA, then full kit plate carrier, then slick and chest rig/sustainment rig. I honestly think the slick plate carrier is the best option for most guys not flying in on the skids of a little bird. I call it a scalable system kinda like the mopp system. There is tasks for each. If I need to drive for instance. Civilians don't have their car seats made to accommodate their equipment. So having kit attached to your back isn't going to work. In riding in the passenger compartment of a vehicle, the slick will be better. The assaulter style PC is better for a more dismount out of the bed of a pickup. If you run slick you can have a chest rig or harness with you, you get out of the vehicle, you can put it on. If you have to ruck, we'll it's a lot easier to ruck with a slick PC than a loaded down assaulter plate carrier. Let's face it nobody is raiding or breaching in the states. We don't have giant tunnels that lack any vover and concealment that cars drive down (streets of Iraq with courtyard walls) too often in the states. We have trees and fences, and different micro terrains. People think city and immediately throw camo and sustainment out of the window. A lot of guys are seeing what the tier 1 guys are wearing and doing and not understanding that they're the "war tourists". That's not meant to be derogatory its just the reality. They can go out of the wire with four mags and a 20 Oz bottle of water, because they have a 160th bird on standby to kick speedballs out to them. Infantry and Civilians don't. It's almost a misallocation of resources for most guys to base their kit off what SF and higher is doing. I've fallen into this tactical fashion trap and I knew what was needed as an Infantryman. There really needs to be a culture shift in the tactical world. Edited for the lack of proofreading.

The second part is kind of the disconnect just due to the nature of the tactical community. If we are wearing the stuff for the intended purpose after being out, we're going to be doing Infantry tasks for longer missions than the more tier 1 equipment was designed for. We need to adjust our gear to better suit those missions.

Jeff, I love your channel, so much to learn off every video. I'm in Ukraine atm, and I find that in such a conflict where so much artillery is in play, it is more convenient to run a slim plate carrier with a chest-rig on top of it. Quite often we get hit by mortars and 122mm shells with no infantry attack following up. This means you have to keep the carrier on at all times, but you can slim down a bit and not have all the gear on you at all times.

Former military, now an armed geezer [ stay off my lawn ]. I can't justify keeping both systems, so I have a full on plate carrier with side plates. Keep 3 mags, radio, and admin pouch on it. The rest goes on an old school Blackhawk LBE. I like the distribution of gear and wearing the LBE under the carrier gives some room for air circulation. This isn't a high mobility rig, and I'm not running and gunning. My need is for protection and weight distribution.

I used a fully rigged carrier for DA missions, with the flash bangs, pouch for firing systems, 2 MBITRS, etc. For MTC in a GMV, I used a slicker carrier with a man-zeer. This was so that I could remove the rack if we were going to RON and sleep in my plates for some comfort and protection. Also, if I had to move into the sniper role and dismount, I would have no use for the M4 mags so I would have another smaller chest rig in my ruck w/ the appropriate ammo, LRF, GPS, etc. and other gear along with all my sniper kit, so I would just switch out racks. All I kept on the carrier was the IFAK, MBITR, and 1 double 9mm mag pouch. If we were doing a more traditional dismounted movement, I generally carried a SWS anyway, so I used the same setup for that too.

Great video. I have been a big fan of ATS (stationed at Campbell once) and Ferro for a while. I own their plate carrier, two battle belts, and various pouches. I can remove their low profile chest harness from the plate carrier and make it into a separate chest rig in about 30 seconds. My Ferro Slickster has an ATS triple M4/Glock shingle on the front and a dangler for the IFAK. It keeps all of the rifle and pistol mags in one spot rather than having to put them on a separate belt. The slickster is the bump in the night armor like you mentioned. That fast mag from ATS looks interesting. I might need to take it for a spin.

You should check out the warrior assault systems 901 chest rig. Its a chest rig that can be made a plate carrier and vise versa. Its incredibly modular, comfy and will last forever.

@@ginge1394 I have their covert plate carrier. That's the basis for my system. I like it. Definitely an underappreciated and relatively unknown company.

@@ModernTacticalShooting Thank you very much for your videos. I got my first plate carrier, which is the ATS Aegis (thank you for the discount code). In truth, I had initially gone with a competitor brand, but aside getting the wrong size, I didn't trust the laser cut molle it came, so I returned it and got your plate carrier. You were right about the extend mag well so I thought having a similar rig would work for me too (including your horizontal mag pouch). Now I need to train with it to see what works. I know your channel focuses on making holes and stopping holes, but I hope to see you do a couple of segments on plugging holes. Thanks again.
