Awesome stuff!

[@justincredible214]

I'm glad I found this video. I have two safelife Defense vest and although they are very nice, I really like this SAfariland Oregon city carrier. I have the safelife 3A+ panels and if and when I get this safariland vest its great to know those panels will fit in this vest.

[@matthewwest7906]

Going to be making the move to law enforcement this fall and this is a super nice setup and helps give me a few ideas on where I would like to place stuff and body cam

[@chrishickory7907]

How did it go?

[@matthewwest7906]

That's a very nice vest Right now I'm working private security in Oregon and if I don't join law enforcement I'd like to become a PSO with LTD Security and get a vest like this looks very professional

[@mpsnetwork]

Good luck to you my friend. Either job the vest will preform well

[@HorrorFactoryInc]

I took my SafeLife panels out of my SafeLife defense concealable armor and put them in a Point Blank carrier. I hated the high speed pouches. I use ZERO9 and I think the only high speed pouch I use is for the radio. but everything else was replaced with zero9. Thanks for the video. It seems like a lot of people take the SafeLife panels and put them in different carriers. I.E. Point Blank / Safariland.

[@mpsnetwork]

Yea I’m not a fan of some of the HSGI pouches I do like the zero9 pouches a lot I use one for my body camera.

[@renegade7493]

Zero9 all the way. I love my Safelife vest.

[@JustinLaFleur1990]

I love my Zero 9 pouches they're freaking awesome

[@JustinLaFleur1990]

I just got issued this vest by my company and man the difference is amazing! I think its because Safelife is more generalized in their sizing whereas this one I had to get sized like I was getting sized for a suit

[@mpsnetwork]

Yea I remember when I worked for another agency we did it that way and it was just like being fitted for a suit.

[@JustinLaFleur1990]

@@mpsnetwork Are you still using this carrier and if so how has it held up over time?

[@mpsnetwork]

@@JustinLaFleur1990 I am still using the carrier and it has help up solid going on over a year with It

[@Sjonathan91]

Can you show me how you put the panels in? I ordered mine and came without panels

[@williamalexander1863]

What size is your vest carrier and what size Armour. I have this vest in a medium and want to order safelife level 3a inserts for it.

[@TonberryShuffle]

I would have to replace my Safelife Defense carrier every 6 months to a year. Fortunately, it was always covered by the warranty and I would get a free replacement. But the velcro leaves a lot to be desired as far as durability goes.

[@mpsnetwork]

Neat, I have not had that problem yet. I’ll be looking around at my Velcro points now.

[@TonberryShuffle]

@@mpsnetwork They may have fixed it. I've switched careers and haven't had to wear a vest in 2-3 years. But something to look out for. Their customer service was always amazing, though.

[@JuggernautJo]

You are the first person I've heard say that safelife fits that vest! THANK YOU! May I ask what size safelife plates you have and what Oregon vest size it was compatible with? Thanks man

[@mpsnetwork]

the safe-life Defense panels are large shorts and I believe the carrier for safriland was 2012-2014 but I cannot find my order number for it sadly

[@xavierjaramillo5261]

Was anyone able to verify that this was the right carrier size?

[@tzero440]

How can you adjust your shoulder strap on the left side to make it tighter? Mine only goes in maybe an inch

[@mpsnetwork]

There is not a lot of room but if you separate the Velcro strap on the shoulders it should be able to adjust I have had to do mine once lately

[@7djsavage21]

You don’t like the esstac pouch? I’ve had their pistol pouches for 6mos now and love them…. Was thinking about buying one to carry a spare ar mag. Any reason specifically why you didn’t like the mag pouch?

[@mpsnetwork]

Not a huge fan of them, I have one still for my 20 round AR mag pouch and it’s fine. I also have two pistol mag pouches on my civilian belt. I feel that HSGI makes a better product, I do not like that I have to buy my malice straps separately and they do not weave well into battle belts. I can use the HSGI for anything from flashlights to magazines to multi tools. I can not work Esstac. They do the job bud HSGI does it better in my opinion.

[@7djsavage21]

Fair enough. I agree, hsgi does make good stuff. I just liked the sleeker look. Great vid btw.

[@SilveiraWTraveler]

Do you have a piece of plastic inside side the side strips (that you place around you waist)?

[@mpsnetwork]

They come with slash guards in them but they are removable if wanted

[@johnmontana8878]

Will be nice if you make a video of wich panels are you using and how to put it on because I have a partner who spend 350$ buying this Carrier. He didn’t know that was just the carrier without armor 😂😂😂 so will be good another video explaining how comes and how u put it on and wich panels are you using.

[@mpsnetwork]

Oh no! Haha I’ll try I have made a few videos on this carrier and the armor I’m using just explaining it but atleast he had the slash guards in right?

[@thinbluethunder2461]

Any safelife armor will fit in side ? If your getting them from different company’s aren’t sizes different or how would that work.

[@mpsnetwork]

The large panel seem to fit just fine with the size for this vest. I would just match the size of the safelife as close as you can with the sizes of the vest. Mine fits good.

[@mpsnetwork]

When I spoke with joydan on the phone before I bought the vest he said they mostly fit but sometimes it’s hit or miss. Kinda rolled the dice with this and it worked well.

[@xavierjaramillo5261]

I have large short safe life level3 plates, what vest size for safariland do I need? I can’t seem to find the one that fits.

[@mpsnetwork]

I honestly don’t remember the sizing when it comes to Safari land I will say though, if you can find the number pattern that equals to that size, then it should fit just fine

[@loganshaver5955]

I want to be a Police Officer and I would pick the Vest Carrier when I become a cop and the things that I would put on the Vest are Handcuffs Pepper Spray,Magazines,Flashlight Asp and tourniquet on the Vest and I would put the Firearm,Taser and Radio on the Belt

[@mpsnetwork]

My vest has changed a bit since this video, I added my taser to my vest along with my radio pouch. Someday I’ll make up update video.

[@digitallove421]

What size safelife pannel do you have and what sizing didnyou get for the safariland Size

[@mpsnetwork]

So what I got was a large short panel from safelife and then I ordered a large short ( numbers are the sizes it’s hard to explain without having the photos) and they fit pretty well.

[@digitallove421]

@@mpsnetwork yes the sizing is annoying. Ok i have some 2xl safelife pannels. So i know in the sarfai sizing im either a 2414/ 2416 (48)or 2614/2616 (52). So ill just have to fill out a sizing form.

[@mpsnetwork]

@@digitallove421 I will say that the panel size matters but the carrier does adjust a few inches around so you have a bit of wiggle room and if you still need some extra room, there are slash guards that can be removed so you get some extra room with that too.

[@johnlynch1896]

How do you like your ASP handcuffs? At least that is what they looked like in the earlier part of the video lol?

[@mpsnetwork]

Love them, I have two of them. Those are the aluminum 7075 T6 model so they are light as hell but strong. I recommend them.

[@mpsnetwork]

I think I still owe you a video on these lol.

[@johnlynch1896]

@@mpsnetwork LOL that would be very much appreciated!!! Definitely want to learn more about how those cuffs handle the real world in law enforcement.

[@jordonboyer1994]

Curious how this held up or if you made some changes?

[@mpsnetwork]

It’s held up well. No issue at all the only thing I changed was my camera mount and and moved things around. The carrier is still 100% solid.

[@jackspadeproductions6195]

What size safari land and what size for the safe life Defense! panels did you use?

@@griffinkarch8283 it was one of in stock ones. The side panels adjust so you have some room to grow or shrink..the only thing I would worry about is making sure your carrier is in the correct location when wearing it so you get the best protection.
