Midwest Armor: Chaos BALCS and Chaos BALCS FG

[@MidwestArmor]

2:08 FG is Full Grid and that is the only difference basically a full laser grid or the support for the front panel cards :)

[@MidwestArmor]

We have the same setup in MOLLE as well

[@MidwestArmor]

@Stryker1489 If you have any questions let us know!

[@ysince95]

Wasn’t the idea… behind laser cut, to save weight and especially overall material^^

[@EODFish]

Which piece is that jab directed at?

[@MidwestArmor]

Laser drops weight and also keeps the carrier more minimal in look and bulk feel. That being said we have a Chaos MVP as well which is same but with traditional MOLLE

[@EODFish]

Agreed. I’m not sure what drove that comment. If it’s choosing BALCS in the first place that is a threat assessment and doesn’t negate the carrier’s benefits.

[@MidwestArmor]

@@EODFish Agree, same as if you only want pure plate carrier, this isn't the best option for that

[@EODFish]

@@MidwestArmor everytime I post something with additional coverage, the boys with pure plate carrier experience chime in like it is a same/same decision.

[@shinobi-no-bueno]

Not hating, i appreciate the information, but is there a reason you don't wear the thing when reviewing it?

[@EODFish]

Makes it hard to show the details efficiently. Also, what value would it add in your mind?

[@johncoffeehays742]

@@EODFishIt shows how the PC fits a person, it’s the same concept as when you go on a website to order a shirt and there’s a photo of a model wearing it so you can have a idea of how it fits. Im sure people also want to know how you think it fits, if it fits tight, loose, awkward, small or big for example.

[@cxsey8587]

Slightly agree, would be nice to see it on person even if only for a few seconds

[@EODFish]

I have since worked this in during the intro usually

[@personalaccount8914]

Will you ever review the Gen IV IOTV?

[@EODFish]

I guess I could but why?

[@personalaccount8914]

@@EODFish I've been looking at getting one, I like the features, but I haven't seen a review for one and haven't been able to get my hands on one to try it out before I spend the money.

[@cxsey8587]

@@personalaccount8914is there a reason for the iotv vs a more modern PC?

[@personalaccount8914]

@@cxsey8587 Yeah, it offers more soft armor coverage so you're more protected from shrapnel. There are superior commercially available alternatives with good soft armor coverage but they're far more expensive. I picked up a Gen IV IOTV a few months ago and I'm pretty happy with it.

[@JKbigfan]

I'll take it from ya if you don't want it 😭😭!

[@rybaneightsix5085]

FG stands for Fake and Gae, I'm pretty sure.

[@pl3422]

send it to me

[@REV0_01]

You could just send me one of them instead of sending them back I’m a broke feller
