The Modern LBE Featuring Spiritus Systems Butt Pack

Combining knock off Spiritus Systems pouches with the real Spiritus Systems Butt Pack LBE Expander.

[@JBsX39]

I built out a LBE using an old surplus USAF 9019a molle h harness. Very similar to the 34 alpha. But it had elastic bands holding the molle panels together which is nice. It allows more flexibility while breathing. And is extremely comfortable

[@PA_LF]

@@JBsX39 nice!

Great video. 56 SBCT by chance? The pouch on the right side of the belt you couldn't remember is the mutant. Great pouch, I also have the knock-off. Covered the Velcro kinda like you did and carry my nvgs in it with an old Eagle Ind UCP insert. I have the Spiritus JSTA Pouch, I did have to buy the inserts separately. The pistol insert was sewn so tight, the only thing I can carry in it is a small flashlight or folding pocket knife, and the stitching on the pouch itself started ripping just trying to decide how and where I wanted to mount it.

[@PA_LF]

@@brianweidler4636 56th indeed! Thank you for remembering that pouches name! The knock off jsta pouch’s mag inserts are very nice, I had no problem fitting in pmags or glock mags.

Most Gucci gear is only marginally better than regular gear.

[@tytly-ro7vt]

Looks good, one big thing to consider with cheaper gear is how it looks under IR, night vision is becoming ever more prevalent and cheaper materials will glow under night vision.

[@PA_LF]

@@tytly-ro7vt I just did a short video on that. It’s on my channel

[@mrmellow9]

I could not find a link to the knockoff nalgene pouches in your 34A video, do you recall the manufacturer perchance? Love the set-up bud

[@PA_LF]

@@mrmellow9 ah yes, my bad. I got them here: www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806446229836.html?spm=a2g0n.productlist.0.0.6a1a448dku5dWt&browser_id=ed5661b164f24229876cc1476879c208&aff_platform=msite&m_page_id=vpohnxkwicaagwoj1927eae7d611e55e8d8724ecdd&gclid=&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21USD%2131.61%2118.97%21%21%21222.74%21133.64%21%402103244b17287022175525249ecb77%2112000037880168626%21sea%21US%216134777917%21X&algo_pvid=bdb1412d-4b51-427b-bb38-fd3bdf5fa361

[@craigrobertson6082]

Certainly looks legit, as long as it carries well and is robust enough to withstand the rigor. +2 on the IR issue, but if this is your personal rig, not a real concern.

[@weikwenju5261]

Looks good but price is at high side- LBV Expander Kit , USD $194. Thinking my US-FLC vest there with big "US" tag on it - durable still.

[@thiccnick277]

Good info, how does the knock off material look under IR vs the genuine spiritus material? I ordered a knock off to try out after seeing your first video to see if the split rig is right for me, depending on how it holds up and how it looks under IR I may just keep it. It’s hard to drop $400+ on a chest rig nowadays.

[@PA_LF]

@@thiccnick277 damn, good question. I hadn’t thought to test that out. I’ll put that in a short soon. Thanks for that!

[@thiccnick277]

Thank you! I subbed, looking forward to the short and seeing how this holds up for you in those upcoming courses

[@alphaomegasurvivalsupply6548]

Some of the more expensive amazon brands that make the copies actually use IR complaint material, or at least they claim they do but I'd like to see that too lol.

[@lentztu]

The other spiritus pouch is the mutant i think.

[@PA_LF]

@@lentztu yes I think you’re right

[@ianslaby5703]

Those are some pretty low profile straps, maybe you can run them under the plate carrier? I've heard of guys in Ukraine wearing battle belts like that. It seems like it would distribute the load more properly through the straps and allow the belt to sit on your hips more naturally.

[@PA_LF]

@@ianslaby5703 that’s very logical thinking, I’ll have to try that out. Thanks!

[@8sigma8]

great video

[@PA_LF]

@@8sigma8 thank you!

[@ry3713]

In your opinion what would be the pros/cons of this over something like a TAP rig?

[@PA_LF]

@@ry3713 so I am in no way an expert on this but I have used the taps rig. I will say that I do like its ability to attach directly to a plate carrier or be work as a chest rig. They’re cheap and combat proven. So if you want to be able to swap between armor and not, I think it’s good. But the winner for me is the cost. Cons are really limited to the amount of gear you can put on it. For longer ops you’ll need a ruck. Like I said in the video, if you’re in a vehicle, chest rigs are great.

[@ry3713]

@@PA_LF solid points, thanks for the reply!

[@graysonstephens]

Pretty sweet. Had you considered a Nixieworks LFR Buttpack & Harness in lieu of the LBV Kit? I'm considering something akin to this but that buttpack looks tiny!

[@PA_LF]

@@graysonstephens I like the LBE and butt pack because it is smaller. I find that if you have something real big, you’re more likely to try and fill it with unnecessary stuff.

[@TackshooterOG]

I have the nixieworks and really like it, have over 70 miles walked this far in it with full 3 days of sustainment and 10 mags. Its great.

[@graysonstephens]

@@PA_LF True. I'm attracted to the idea of having a daypack's worth of volume (20-25L) in my LBE, but I have to carry further sustainment in my pack either way.

[@flyoverkid55]

Nice set up, but I tend to stay away from the " chinesium " products. I prefer items made in the U.S., there are brands that offer quality gear at reduced prices [ Spec Ops, US Grunt Gear ] all made in the U.S. I try to get items that are on close out whenever it meets my needs, even those from top makers like BH, Eagle, Tactical Tailor, etc.

[@ProjectPete]

Please link to the products you used for this rig.

Stop buying this shit and just get a SMERSH. it’s the same thing but it won’t cost $500 dollars.
