Plate Carrier Review | HEAVY DUTY FRAG VEST!

[@_Matsimus_]

I no longer work with hero outdoors. Lost all my business.

[@armouredco6935]

Hey do you know a good way to get "cadpat" gear like pants and jacket and helmet covers

[@StevenTheAristolianNerd]

Hey Matt, there is a channel called ZNA productions or Zanny productions, who made a $30 body armor that held up against 7.62 and 5.56. If you wanted to train with real plates you can make them.

[@666darkwisdom]

hello Matsimus, can you please do a review on Soviet heavy mortar 2S4 Tyulpan, it is a pretty insane weapon, largest mortar in the world to date it can even launch a small nuclear munition, I am actually surprised you didn't check it out yet

[@ghostlypirate_5083]

Cargo shorts and a Tac vest....Where you headed? An military dad meetup?

[@_Matsimus_]

You’re avatar is a ghost pirate. I don’t think we have much more to say lol.

[@ghostlypirate_5083]

Matsimus alright you got me there, still love your content.....just ignore the image I forgot how to change it and I gave up a long time ago

[@diltzm]

No he'd need white grass stained new balances or stap sandles with socks for that lol

[@ATDCanada]

Kris Tanto fought in Benghazi wearing similar stuff. I think tactical cargo short is acceptable. Besides, Mat came from Britain and they have a history of wearing shorts into battles: www.quora.com/Why-did-the-British-Army-in-the-1940-s-wear-shorts-in-the-desert

I remember when we switched from flaks to plate carriers back when I was crewing a M777. So much easier to swing a maddox and use a shovel with the carrier.

[@moderncrusader9882]

In greece we dont even have flaks.Only special forces use body armor.Its really really pitty

[@aewhatever]

I think your the first person on KZbin to do a old school late night infomercial

Yeah sure it’s heavy duty............BUT CAN IT TAKE A JDAM?!?

But... Can It take an icbm?

All and more, call today while supplies last!

[@tylerthegrimm]

@matsimus any plans on doing a complete review on all your Canadian army gear? Or is that a no go in Canada.

[@themodernmusketeer877]

I have a similar vest made by Rothco. Though I haven't done anything quite as rigorous with it as you have, I have worn it with two ballistic plates in it all day as part of a G.I. Joe cosplay with absolutely no problems. I even laughed at the stormtroopers who complained about the weight of their armor which weighed about as much as one plate in my vest

[@BradKarlovec]

Man! I had no idea you did gear reviews!!! That's awesome I've been watching your channel for a few years(i think) and have always watched the weapons system videos. Rock on man! And thank you for your service.

[@dragonsbreath1984]

Welcome back to another episode of "This Old Field Gear" with your host, Canadius Matsimus!

[@kennychilders8261]

What an intro! Awesome content as always

[@ReckerFidelWOLF]

Your smile is very warming 0:11

[@JazzJaRa]

That padding on the inside was the reason why i sold my Lindnerhof Balmung Vest. Now wearing an US RBAV which i had to import and get from the customs here in germany. Was fun to explain why i bought a Plate Carrier.

[@Zach_Bloomquist]

I had an earlier version of this carrier and got rid of it. I found that the front of the vest would frequently smack me in the neck when going prone or trying to shoot around cover. Its heavy when wet in the rain and it didn't really feel comfortable. Also it didn't have the best buttstock interface when shooting. I switched to a US company, AWSINC, whose carrier is lighter and much more comfortable with a better cut when carrying rifle plates.

[@josiahdublin7816]

Nice! Always liked your gear reviews.

[@kyleamante5903]

You should do a review on the Canadian military equipment

[@Immortalized1]

I got me one of those frag vests; the one with the NSN#. Best score ever

[@willardchester8384]

am applying for bold eagle BMQ in CFB wainwright

[@johnsmith-yj2cn]

got my self a 6b45 whit real front and rear plate , I just dont have side plate I was not able to find them for sale but I found a shop that sale side plate of the proper size

[@Tartarus34]

could give me a link of 6b45 supplier

[@Knallteute]

"I have worn it for two weeks." I imagen you going into a grocery store in full combat gear.

[@indyjons321]

[@sohaibkhan2685]

Can you do al khalid tank review

[@twilightmoonbeam4935]

loved your review thanks so much i just ordered mine, how did you make your plates?

[@NinjaEnShort]

Should try a 5.11 Tactec, I've been using that thing in armored division in 2 gun ACM, by far it's been the most comfortable I've tried.

[@AlexSDU]

6:02 Kinda like the MTV the Marines use. It open that way too.

[@michaelwier1222]

OD Green? My favorite color too. I'm old school, I've always called the flak jackets. There is a company called Tactical Tailor (interesting story how the company got started) that makes plate carriers. They will sell you the vests but not the plates unless you're military or law enforcement. Possible to do a review on them? Thanks for the video.

[@triggerhippy2826]

So my question is, how does it compare to an Osprey IV rig

[@KG-yu7el]

I feel like this would be too bulky to wear over the issued frag vest, and as such a chest rig would be a better fit. Condor is an okay brand, but I'd never use it overseas. I'd lean towards Warrior Assault Systems, Crye Precision, etc.

[@Fusbrodah]

I love your work. Keep up the good work. :)

[@marklee1194]

Hey Matt, another great video. By the way, have you seen this TV series "Battle Stripes" before? It is about the Platoon Sergeant's Battle Course in Brecon Wales. You can find the whole playlist here on KZbin.

[@mylesd.j.standish7956]

So I ordered a ruck from Hero Outdoors, on August 7. It still has not shipped. Is this normal, and do I just need to be patient?

[@_Matsimus_]

I have contacted them. Hopefully they can help you out. Keep me posted buddy.

[@mylesd.j.standish7956]

I own the same PC. Love it.

[@TRLOLOLlol]

Yo they do international delivery (specifically Australia)? Cause I'm in the market for a new carrier and field pack.

[@_Matsimus_]

Yes they do

By the way, what happened to Dragon's skin?

how to get ur uhhh idk what its called but something up

[@big--man]

i have a question: why'd you move to canada specifically?

[@aewhatever]

He just did a video on that a few days ago

[@theactusnation2394]

Does the military allow personally purchased gear to be used?

[@kylebrodie5860]

Short answer - it depends. As far as I know, although I'm new, the military provides everything you need. But boots, socks, and tac glasses you can use your own after you're trained, within reason. Not sure about a tac vest or plate carrier, but I bet no.

[@theactusnation2394]

@@kylebrodie5860 what about on deployments because I saw people with very custumized and modularized tac vests

[@kylebrodie5860]

What kind of Armor vest do you wear in the reserve

[@Jabroni_69]

none, unless you're on course or a large scale ex

[@nodnerbhu]

Matt's gone full snek

[@crumply5959]

Dude I know condor is pretty good especially some of their pouches but if you wanna good plate carrier get the mayflower apc or shellback tactical

[@footbalr074]

add crye, ferro concepts, agilite, lbt etc. just about anything except condor or 5.11

[@crumply5959]

footbalr074 right there with you

[@KhanGirey]

Wouldn't recommend a weighted vest of any sort when training except push/pull exercises. Our base commander even prohibited wearing plate carriers while running in the mornings because it doesn't actually do anything but ruin your joints and change your gait. Also Condor is seen as the bottom of the barrel. Put down 75 more USD and get an American made plate carrier instead of a Chinese import.

[@kylebrodie5860]

Beat me to it. I see it as a quick way to get shin splints. But I'm prone to them

[@muzu_blitz]

there one type of vest that every want, that is a type of vest that can stand a riffle bullet shot. Edit: Just fixing the words that i notice is wrong.

[@CircleWilliams]

So Canadian troops aren’t trusted with their equipment off post? That’s crazy to me.

[@heffaazul]

Does AR500 sell products in Canadia? C'mon Matt, you're better than Condor.

[@Riceball01]

But why spend the money on a Gucci plate if all you're going to use it for is training? For costuming, airsofting/paintballing, training something like a Condor plate carrier, or any other generic Made in China is plenty good enough since your life isn't depending on it not breaking and it's a fraction of the cost of a high end version of it.

[@andrewsmall6834]

SORD Australia makes WAAAAAAY better stuff. Although it's good to see that you managed to film this during one of Canada's 5 sunny days they get each year. Further side note, a serviceman in Brisbane Australia was doing exercise in tactical gear as such with a simulated red weapon and was arrested.

Not really. The milsim wannabes spends hundreds on uniforms because some sf unit wore them once. Sad but true

[@mnguy98]

Wait till you see people decked out head-to-toe in all Crye Precision... and US$96 for a Condor vest will look positively affordable.

[@HandlingItAll]

Canada where even being in the military you can't own gear everyday people in America have... You seriously say, "if you're having a panic attack"? Time for a medical discharge...

[@footbalr074]

I mean even in the states, owning gear while in the military often times more restrictive than civilian. Can't legally own and keep guns in barracks or even in a private house on base.
