Short suggestion for anyone putting together a load bearing vest or plate carrier - if you have a utility pouch or oversized med pouch, stuff an xl emergency poncho in there. It adds a negligible amount of weight to your loadout and you won't use it often, but if you ever get stuck in rain you'll be thrilled to have it (along with a bunch of applications in an actual emergency).

They seem to specialize in paintball kit, but among their various woodsball doodads I found accessories for various plate carriers, including the Ferro Slickster. They make two "sleeves" for the rear plate bag, one that features a 2L hydro pouch, and one that's all molle. I ordered one on a whim, and now my Slickster is wearing and ATS Antidote. Worth looking into if someone doesn;t want to buy a whole new carrier

Since I couldn't find molle rear plate pockets without spending tons and tons of money, I just made some small molle sized cuts and used a lighter to seal the edges to prevent possible fraying. Molle velcro attached to the bottom half of a minimap pack fits over the cummerbund, and the other half of the pack is attached via the "molle" cuts. Structurally still sound and I'm not worried about anything ripping or tearing at all. Used it in casualty drag scenarios and some other things that stress the carrier. Works very well.

TSG level 3 extreme PE plates. Cost a fortune to get it where it is, but it’s now an awesome overt carrier. It definitely makes more sense to just buy something better suited if scaled up is what you want. IMO the best mod for the Slickster is replacing the cummerbund with a molle version and tubes.

If you are in the market for a carrier in between the "slick" stuff and more featured, scalable carriers, I highly recommend the Ferro FCPC. I originally ran a Shellback Banshee Elite 3.0 or whatever, the USA-made one. It's also a fantastic carrier but is more of a full-featured, battle ready carrier and it can be extremely bulky, even by itself, before you start attaching stuff to it. On another note, I think people tend to put entirely too much crap on their carriers. In reality, your carrier should be as slick as possible while still fitting into your mission set. For a civilian, honestly, this means there should only be a few critical items mounted. You should also have some sort of a scalable belt, a la the Ferro Bison Belt, my personal favorite. Civilians often think the military guys are humping every possible piece of gear to be ready for every possible mission/situation they will find themselves in. Again, this just isn't true. Ask any guy who humps around for a living and they will 99% of the time tell you they try to minimize what they carry, down to the bare necessities, when possible. In terms of my opinions on Ferro in general, I agree with you Hop. Their stock system sucks and the whole philosophy on "drops" pisses me off to no end. While there may be a path for users to acquire their gear if they are .gov/.mil/in critical duty need, if you fall between the airsoft kiddies and the serious users, you're kinda screwed. It doesn't help that tactical gear is in vogue and nearly every airsofter is buying this shit up so they can look cool out on the field.
@Ty-sq7yi3 жыл бұрын
Comms, ammo, med, and water isn't remotely close to too much crap. That is almost bare necessity. Even then you're still missing paper, pen, map, gps/compass, spare batteries, cleaning kit, and possibly spare small parts for your rifle. Even in direct action environments where a plate carrier is required you need to be able to sustain yourself to a certain degree without worrying about when the next resupply is.

4:21 I need to know what shirt you're wearing in these shots so my wife's boyfriend can buy it for me.

Looks to be some sort of winter combat shirt.

I was also curious. looks like a level 2 fleece. Couldn't find the exact one with the shoulder patch spot but Polartech makes good ones.

Hey bud, great video...for my slickster check out "whiskey two four"...they make a awesoommeeee rear plate bag/hydration carrier that's designed for that specific plate carrier....it made me fall in love with my slickster again!

I'm eager to hear what you think of the MEPC. I was actually just looking at it last week. I currently have the Warrior Assault Systems laser cut LPC V2 MK1 (what a horrible naming convention). It has basically all the features I want on paper, but there are some minor details that annoy me, so I've been eyeing alternatives.

Good review, now that the advanced slickster is out tho it's probably the better option.

The refactor slickster just looks like a slickster with a bunch of garbage on it.

I'm in the same position. I really wish they'd come out with back panels...

Whiskey two four has rear molle adapters.

Whiskey Two Four makes an adapter to have a molle or hydration carrier pack on either the slickster or spiritus covert

@Hoplopfheil You could have ordered a MOS Tactical MOLLE Velcro Adapter for that Slickster.

MEPC IS BY FAR THE BEST

It's crazy how people who do this alot come to the exact same solutions even if they don't speak. My slickster is set up exactly the same as yours all the way down to SKD pig minus that I have black multi spiritus placard.
