NB: When I recorded this video the RAC was available in two sizes, Large (the one I have, which is supposed to fit 10x12 or SAPI L plates but is too big for me and my SAPI M plates), and the Extra Large (which is for 11x14 or SAPI XL). Between recording and publishing, HRT added a new size called "10x12" which seems even more confusing. As far as I can tell there is still no medium RAC carrier.

He ain’t lying about that im 5’10 and it fits me just fine 10x12 fit in their just fine The only thing that I’ve found is that no matter what kind of carrier it is, when i train and start running it will bob up and down. But I’ve went through about 6 plate carriers and they all do it so its really not that big of a deal. My buddy ran mine for about a week and he loved it so much that he went out and bought himself one.

Good review Hop. I reviewed the RAC a couple of years ago, not my cup of tea. At the time the only zip-on back panel option was a bag sized to carry a ballistic helmet but that wasn’t hydration bladder compatible (?!?). Glad to see they upped their game. Still not my preferred carrier though.

Saving up for plates for my Cannae Pro Gear Vakarian plate carrier. Impressed with it so far. Great thing about the Vakarian, it's similar in that it includes a 1 x 5.56 elastic 3 mag insert, 1x 7.62 elastic 2 mag insert, shotgun shell/battery, admin pouch dangler. I think I'll keep it in my truck as a emergency plate carrier and find something similar to the Shellback Tactical Banshee PC that I sold to my friend. One great upgrade is the Blaze Defense Systems quick release for cummerbunds.

I appreciate you being so honest in this review. I have steered clear of rac and hrac as I feel like the design is outdated on these carriers, its not 2010 anymore and we have much better options. It seems to me that there wasnt that much thought put into these. However I think a 2.0 version could address alot of the issues and make these worth buying over the competition.

The carrier is made in china with chinese fabrics, no wonder they are not IR compliant. Same for the multicam one. In early prototype and promotion they used genuine multicam webbing and later switched to Chinese webbings (not sure about fabrics), which is the same multicam webbing used on Pantac XPC. In fact the HRAC is rebranded XPC with some changes.

Honestly, if your poor, dont spend money on the cheap shit. save up some more and get one of the cheaper offerings from crye, you really cannot go wrong with a JPC. Any problems that you have with the carrier, about 50 other people have also had, and one of them came up with some wacky way to fix it. anything from condor or shellback will just be a setback on getting good stuff. I made the massive mistake of going down the cheap shit route, after wasting hundreds in chinesium, I know from experience that its not a good idea.

My wife recently suggested that I upgrade my current plate carrier for something more new and improved. Apparently she wants my old plate carrier for herself. The current frontrunner is the Velocity Systems SCARAB - specifically the SC7 modular configuration. Do you or have you had any experience with this brand/model of plate carrier? Furthermore, if you have not had any experience with Velocity Systems, would you be interested in evaluating some of their products? I am almost positive they would send you some T&E items. There are several people that I respect who's paygrade is much higher than mine and I tend to trust their judgement. They all seem to prefer Velocity Systems over most other manufacturers. However, I am always curious as to what the general public thinks about certain pieces of kit. Also, may I ask what your preferred armor inserts are for your primary PC? Make/model/armor level/etc. Please and thank you. Being that you are one of the few _honest_ content creators left on YT, I am genuinely curious as to your thoughts on this priority upgrade. Stay classy my friend.

Hey there! I love the VS Scarab and I've purchased mine back in 2019! The initial model I've purchased was the SC3 LE front LT back. This was so I could use their zip on backpack system and it's still really running solid and strong. One of the issues I've come across the carrier was changing the entire cummerbund due it not being QD and they're a pain to change too since VS has their own propriety system for their cummerbund. What I've upgraded on the cummerbund was adding Blaze Defense Systems QDR tubes kit so it was quick to place on and take off. Other companies make QD cummerbunds that are compatible like Beez Combat Systems or even Arbor Arms. I love the shoulder straps too they're fairly adjustable and it isn't straining wearing the carrier for long hours. My other gripe is that there isn't any cable routing on the carrier but that's entirely fine since there is a bunch of molle. Sizing is pretty accurate, I run small carriers and if I got a medium I think it'd fit me since there is a lot of room for adjustment.

@@humiliated8707 ​ Excellent information brother! Thank you for your assessment from a _users_ perspective. The first hurtle I need to address is the sizing. Initially I though I may need a Large since I have a sort of a barrel-chest synonymous with most Italians. Sounds to me like a Medium will be the optimal size. Although, to be fair, I like to say that "I have a body by Quarantine" which basically means I gained a few pounds over 2021. Not proud of it but I'm not ashamed either. Did you choose the SC3 because of its more minimal footprint? Do you just run a placard over the front cummerbund straps? Thank you for the cummerbund upgrade information. It's quite rare to have someone with _actual_ firsthand knowledge/use of specific products and upgrades. I have added it to my Project Database. May I also ask what make/model/size of armor inserts you currently use? Are you able to secure them snuggly with zero-to-minimal movement inside the carrier? I absolutely loathe plate carriers that allow the armor to bounce around inside the setup. FWIW, I once (keyword _once)_ took an uppercut to the chin from some armor that was not fastened securely inside of a plate carrier. I learned my lesson from that day forward and use that experience to my advantage. Nonetheless, these are great points and I cannot thank you enough for this helpful insight. Much obliged my friend. EDITED for grammar.

@@BertShackleford Heyo! Nice to see my word is getting out there. I chose the SC3 because of the scalability. I mainly run placards on the carrier from custom gear maker 8492nylon to the VS quad placard. I don't regret my choice and I love the ability to just switch from placard to placard. Super modular system really. But I would like to really emphasize that you should really choose the carrier based on your needs!!! What armor inserts I have at the moment are small (8x10) Hesco L210's. These plates fit pretty well within my carrier and I just use a TREX ARMS backer to make them more snug since the plates are a Tiny bit smaller than the plate bag itself. There's barely to zero movement whatsoever. If the Hesco L210s were SAPI cut I'd probably use the TREX backers still just for peace of mind. Hope this helps!

@@LAAM619 Ferro, Velocity Systems, Spiritus, Crye, Defense Mechanisms, Eagle Industries, etc. Anything from them is going to be better constructed than HRT stuff and use real Ranger Green/Multicam/Coyote fabric rather than whatever off brand HRT uses. It comes down to quality of construction and attention to detail. Yes they all hold plates but if you’re going to spend money on a carrier, you probably want that product to perform the best it can and not be hampered by subpar fabric or stitching which could lead to premature wear or even being spotted under NVG (if that’s a scenario you find yourself in) due to the poor IR performance of said cheap fabric.

@@LAAM619 No problem man. No offense but it honestly depends on how “fat” you are. If you’re using 10x12 or 11x14 (generally considered Medium or Large plates respectively) any of those brands will hold your plates. The “fat” aspect comes more into play in cummerbund sizing and I would probably recommend an elastic style cummerbund just to make sure everything stays put. However if you have a lot of stuff you want to mount on the cummerbund, I suggest you take some measurements of your circumference in that area and keep that number in mind when shopping to see what gets close enough as you can generally adjust most cummerbunds. Also, if you’re already running the HRT stuff then don’t feel like you have to toss it all. Just try replacing the cummerbund and see if that improves your experience. It looks like the HRAC has a pass-through style of cummerbund attachment so you can pretty much use any style of cummerbund (JPC-weave or Velcro attach). However, to make the whole system more secure, you could weave a JPC style cummerbund through the rear molle or purchase a Molle-Velcro adaptor and stick a Velcro cummerbund on the back so it wouldn’t be sliding around in the pass-through section. Sorry about the wall of text haha

I have the HRAC because I wasn’t interested in the back bag system. I have had a difficult time finding a compatible cummerbund that I like. Otherwise, I really like the carrier.

I know that the Esstac kywi 4 AR mag and 3 ar10 mag panels fit perfectly on my Cannae Vakarian, I’d imagine they’d fit on yours as well. And they’re just up in Stanwood, so you’d get quick shipping, or you could just go into their shop.

Hey Hop, have you heard of the Aussie Peelback Kangaroo Plate Carrier? Also, I would say the cummerbund system is closer to how the Condor Vanquish Armor System Plate Carriers work.

This is the current carrier that i use, and i kinda hate it. It was painfully hard to adjust to my liking and its honestly not very comfortable. The "Pontoon" pads are just plain horrible. I had to remove them because of how bad they were. If you're looking for a budget plate carrier, i definitely would not recommend this one. i would just save up the extra couple hundred bucks and get a JPC or something like that.

Hey Hop, you taken a look at Agilite's AG3 placard? Looks like a semi-structured open-top bungee mag shingle, much easier to re-index mags. Far as carriers, I've been looking at an alternative to the FCPC, since it's basically a millennial chick and only accepts dudes that're 6' or taller, and ran across the T3 Tomahawk LC. Any experience with their stuff?
