I love my DCS plate carrier. I bought it some time ago when I was in United States. Sadly, it isn't easy to buy one when you're living in Chile, due to WAS has no retailers in South America (actually, I've been thinking in become one). Anyway, I have been using it for some time and it's amazing, really confortable even when you're wearing all the level IV ballistic plates. I'm using it together with a Belt similar to Warrior Frag Belt.
The recon has also got a variety of back plates with pouches and there’s a drop-down pouch which can go under the vest at the front, so you can get a shit loads of kit on all you’ll ever need especially if you then have webbing/body armour, and again really good quality kit. I use allot of it an no not for airsoft I use mine for in the field and range days.
My Warrior DCS carrier and lvl 3 plus lightweight ASC plates came in today...after 8 weeks. That's nine weeks earlier than what was expected. Everything looks and feels like quality.
I rne 3+ from steel ops in my DCS jusst took a 2 day 1000 rd rifle class with it held up great and and very Comfortable if you guys want to upgrade check out PIG pontoons and shoulder pads
Great video Trash! Ordered my DCS-R multicam and Reconplate in Coyote both from UK Tact. (Mentioned i found there site true you, but to bad no discount :() Keep up the Nice work! if you ever have a event in Belgium be sure to let us know :)
Great video, definitely subscribing for more! I'm still unsure as to what plate carrier i want lol but after this comparison i'm definitely leaning towards the recon!
Interesting set up. Where do you put your bayonet? I have a SA80 bayonet. It's loose in its frog,when the frog is in the new sheath,it's hard to take out the frog. So now I just have bayonet on different sheath. I like to have a real bayonet set up. Ideas? You seem to know a lot. Thanks
This carriers look awesome 👏🏾 better than any I have seen I might have to got this these. I like the recon carrier. Hey trashy would you think these are better than condor 👍🏽👌🏽
Hi quick question on the RPC just looked on the UK tactical website and on the DCS tab it said warrior hard armour pouches is there anything coming out along the same lines for the Recon Plate Carrier?
What size are these PCs? What's the size differences between the medium and large from Warrior Assault Systems, i.e. Cummerbund, etc. great review! Thanks!
I am 5'11'' about 200lbs. How tight fitting is the Recon carrier? I prefer tighter fitting kits and was just curious about the sizing and the adjustability.
+RandomTrashy well in terms of how big I am, the plate shoulder straps won't go short enough, and the front and back plate themselves are ever so slightly too wide, from the video, the rpc looks narrower, and seems to have shorter shoulder straps
Hey - was wondering what mag pouches you have on the recon - the ones that look to be stacked on top of each other - I wanna get enough for 6 mags ( so 3 of them if they're individual? ) so that way I have extra space for a 7th and 8th on each side to hold while they aren't in the mag well. I'm also looking at getting the redi mag as well, to hold both 7 and 8 mags --- anyways! Yea - which mag pouches are those lol
1 love the concept and the way it's very modular I tried calling a company in the US to see if I can order extra Front panels with Velcro so I can set up different rigs.... they told me they do not offer them.... Do you have any suggestions
I'm an ultra skinny guy, I'm 1m75 (5'7) and only weigh about 53 kilo's (117 pounds). The DCS doesn't fit me at all on the smallest setting. Is there any chance that the recon will fit me?
Cheers for the reply mate, I've heard nothing but good things about WAS and their quality, I've just subscribed to UKTactical so hopefully get a coupon at some point and pick up one of their armour carriers
By slightly wider, do you mean the panel itself? But the male/female clips for the D3 chest rig and this Recon plate carrier align exactly? Thanks man!
+RandomTrashy I am wondering this same question. I am buying a carrier for both real world training/plate use and airsoft. I am going to keep my plates in during games to condition my body to wearing them. My problem is I have ar500.com ar500 10''x 12'' ACS plates which are only .26'' thick. I am worried about them having forward to rear movement since they arent as thick as SAPI plates. I am 5'5'' 125# and I wear a size 30 pants. I love the recon and its slimness if you will but I want a cummberbund, gosh its hard. As I said Im getting for real world training as well and being small is an issue. I am not young (28) just a smaller frame guy. I have also looked at the LBT 6094, LBX Armatus, Shellback Tactical Banshee, AWS inch Operators Choice, Mayflower APC, and 1 or two others. I guess being small I want a slim'ish profile that still has a cummberbund, and quality features as these do. If the Recon has a cummberbund this wouldnt even be a discussion. Any ideas or help brother? Thank you for your time and sorry t he long msg. Great vids!
trashy the warrior recon plate carrier does it come in O/D as i run atac fg and i dont like either tan or mtp? keep u the good work buddy and do you think you could over dose on airsoft and stop enjoying the ride
Last time i wanted to order on uktactical, the paypal didnt work.... paypal didnt let me pay on uktactical and because i dont have any credit cards, that sucks! So i had to look at shops in my country, but they dont have the stock like uktactical....
@@RandomTrashy already talked to paypal. They said it didnt work because of the country im in. Thats totally bullsh**. Then talked to uktactical and they say it should work....

We got 2023 and I will get it soon to the Warrior Recon. I still love all of your videos.
Got the DCS, have had it for a bit over a year now. Currently getting the Recon and i can't wait to try it out! Warrior do make some solid kits!
+RandomTrashy Will do buddy! :)
These are apparently used by the SAS and are absolutely brilliant! If that’s true then the regs should have gone with this instead of Virtus.
They have been used by many many forces !
2022 Just got the recon, it is solid the open sides are still load carrying stiff so dont sweat that, the buckles are very positive ,crazy good value,
Crazy good value
I like the idea of the DCS, the side panels is like having a steel ribcage. Totally badass.
Between a plate carrier and a rifle, one must really feel like nothing can threaten them.
One of the best videos on these vests I've seen. Cheers from West Virginia in the States.
Basically, the Recon plate carrier is Warrior's version of the Crye Precision JPC (Jumpable Plate Carrier)
Fakers the recon is about 2/3 of the price of the JPC though.
@@user-ns3vs3bp3e jpc World totaly different, only because they are both Minimalistisc doesnt Make one a nock off.
Kevin I didn’t say it was a knock off, just pointed out it was cheaper. If anything I was positive about the recon
I love plate carriers, are just cool.
Thanks for helping me make my mind up, I think I'll go for the DCS and maybe look at a recon one later on
You timed this perfectly with the sale. Great video.

Another cool video. I just got the Warrior RICAS compact, waiting for pouches. Great vests.
Cracking video, convinced me to go for the recon and its such a high quality item. Subbed.
excited to get my Recon version!! thank you for the review bro
Just ordered the Warrior DCS carrier with 2 AR 500 lvl 3+ Light weight amour shooters cut, and padding. $540.00 shipped. Wait time is 17 weeks...damn

I've got the Warrior Assault Systems Raptor and the Shooters Cut. Both great vests!
Great reviews did a very good job showing the vests thank you.
It would be cool if there was a velcro patch that could attach to the dcs so you could use the front panel from the recon or a chest rig

***** Ill be sure to do that! Cheers
***** Thats me ordered a DCS low profile set up in OD. Thanks for the great review/comparison!

my biggest concern is shouldering your rifle. It looks like the recon is less intrusive in the shoulder area. Is this accurate?
thank you! Great video , great work.
I love your vids man keep up the great work
Thanks for the review
Great Video random. Thank you.
I definitely need to find this used somewhere.
Good review. Thanks!

what kind of mag pouches are the two double stacks on the Recon?

Hello, how would you compare the Recon Plate Carrier vs the Shooters Cut? Is the latter just a lighter version?

I am 5'11'' about 200lbs. How tight fitting is the Recon carrier? I prefer tighter fitting kits and was just curious about the sizing and the adjustability.
Can you run side plates on the recon?
Would you recommend the DCS if I want a plate carrier that's good and won't have to buy another for a while?
Great review RT! Have you ever tried the Sabre leg rig? Very curious about it. For CQB or just additional mags for milsim.
+RandomTrashy Thanks for the reply! It's what I like about your channel! Looking forward to the next review.
I have a dcs and personally find the shoulder straps too big, gonna try the rpc, it looks like a jpc, but alot cheaper, which is great :D
+RandomTrashy well in terms of how big I am, the plate shoulder straps won't go short enough, and the front and back plate themselves are ever so slightly too wide, from the video, the rpc looks narrower, and seems to have shorter shoulder straps
the recon looks really good though i wish it came in black though

I would rather have the buckle over Velcro but I need the side plates.
Can you do a video on how to setup the quick release system?
No I no longer have it
what bladder do you use in your hydration carrier??
What size are they? Bought the recon in medium. And it feels so small compared to other west's. Would love to see it on you tho.

Are the pouches on the front removable if you want other pouches

Hello sir I’m looking on chase tactical and the recon isn’t there do you know where I can find it?
Look at Warrior Assault Systems !
Anyone else see the jpc 6094 connection/differnces
can the recon integrate with the haley strategic chest rig?

By slightly wider, do you mean the panel itself? But the male/female clips for the D3 chest rig and this Recon plate carrier align exactly? Thanks man!
I know this is a older video but what thickness plates will these two carriers hold
Pass
What chest size should I have at least, so the RPC / DCS will fit without sitting loose?
+RandomTrashy Thank you, it really fits fine :)
how about the buckle clips, if they take a BB ??? prob gonna breake

They don't have anything on the Agilite K5.
