Speaking from a military and former LEO tac team member perspective, the pouches on the back of most carriers are typically meant for easy access for the team member in the stack behind you. I always carried 2 bangs on my back in pouches, next to a home made hooligan bar carrier. There is really no other use for the pouches on the back as you can not reach them yourself. You are better off with an actual backpack
I can agree with that mindset. I like that they are thinking outside the box with it. I was really fishing for something to dislike. But to use your point to bolster mine: If for instance, you wanted to hang a blowout kit on it for someone to tear off in a pinch- wouldn’t it be easier to click a buckle and tear than to defeat 2 zippers and some snappies?
@@VSO_Gun_Channel you mean something like this?
hrttacticalgear.com/product/zip-on-dual-gp/
It's great for covering up "offensive" t-shirts.
Just need some offensive patches to fix that problem lol
So, you're saying that I should send my boy you school with one to cover his C&Rsenal t-shirt?
I would like to see how the magazine retention is with strenuous activity like full out sprints jumps and etc.
My daughter is 13. She wants a black hrt rac. A flippin black one like a darn swat cop. Glad you use one without a cummerbund. Too often people try to make them look as if theyre must-haves. A slick setup has its merits. Cheers man
She is going to be a bad bitch some day. Raise ‘em right.
Skinny Medic was literally dragged by his plate carrier... tests the strength of the pull handle and the material itself...
Love seeing that M85NP at the beginning 👍🏾
How about wearing it in some 2 gun matches where you have to put it through its paces? How would it handle spalling if you were to get hit? How strong is the drag handle?
Do the straps hold up well with mobility? Like dose the vest bounce around when running and ect?
As far as I can see you did a pretty complete review. I am not super picky when it comes to plate carriers, but I failed to notice if there was a drag handle on that. If there is, how sturdy is it?
there is a drag handle on it and its pretty strong...i saw sum youtuber guy get dragged by one so i had my cousin drag me as much as he could, im 290.
Yep that winter snow was legit this year
Friggin AWESOME pouch system.
Could you try the HRT carrier with a newer SOE rigs? I haven’t seen it but hear that JW is adding Velcro to the back of the newer rigs so they can attach to more modem carriers like this one.
Great video. I think the 300lb tensile test showed that it is well constructed. equipment retention would be a great test as mentioned by others in the comments
Drag handle testing? Also I’d like to see how quickly it comes off. Like can it be taken off someone easily who is unconscious or does it take a good bit of moving them around to do it (medical purposes).
I’ve got one with the Maximus placard and medium back pack. Keep it in my get home bag
I have the RAC and it's pretty awesome. However it's lowkey annoying the Maximus rear pouch is 75% the cost of the entire carrier.....
How do the mag pouches work for AK 7.62x39 mags?
Great video! You say there is a little wiggle room with those 10 x 12 plates. Is it enough room to put those same style plates in 11 x 14?
I think the back attachment system is for greater security as well as conservation of real estate. It doesn’t look like there’s enough room for two placards on the back, but with the zipper system there’s enough room for two back panels, increasing modularity.
Off vid topic but can u teview the midwest 13.5 308 i saw u did the cmmg but id like to knkw about the midwest as im sure others would also if anybody else knows about it
Most important aspect of a plate carrier to me is how well can you get a good shoulder pocket - rifle stock placement VS the other carriers out there like Ferro Concepts, Spiritus LV119, etc. For work I need the cummerbund with soft inserts, and I know they make it at HRT, how is that cummerbund with soft inserts?
Yep, it's awesome!!! Lol I've got the downgraded version of this now but REALLY wanna get the buckle version. I'm glad you said it, I thought I was going crazy haha Saw the zippers on the back and the buckles up front, Thought I was seeing shit wrong Lol I'd like to know why the duel system instead of simpler single system set-up too, I concur! Complicates something simple, indeed.
How does it hold up after a machine wash?
What size plates are you using? Anyone
I just voted for you in the gundies your hands down the best fun channel on RUclips must be because your from Ohio
Truck drag destruction test. Just in case in you’re in the prone and have to hitch a ride lmao!
After the red dot video i thought you were going to to say that you should be training to dodge bullets and reload out of your pockets instead of relying on bullet stoppy vest thingies.
I want to see how it interferes with a chest slung rifle. Do any of the attachments snag or slow you down etc? Seems like having a bunch of mags and pouches on your chest would somewhat cause a difference in how you work with a chest slung rifle.
Furthering up on that maybe do a timed test from chest slung to first round, then add in the various stuff and test again for speed.
Everyone just wants the AC1 now...
It's a nice PC. Although, in my opinion the HSGI MPC is king.
I wish the would have made the hydration back panel alone with zippers rather then those two packs so u could choose what back panels u want to run with it
what mag insert is in the pouch to retain the AK mags?
AR mag one works, just remove the removable plastic inside
It’s perfect like that where can I get one
Well, a link would be nice... then again, I’ve boozed it tonight and may have missed it in the description lol
Comfy AF! 🤭
Commenting since you asked.
I am so glad you have that flatpack/hydration. I'd like to see more. And I'm curious if you got that hand warmer coming haha.
Another overview of this against something else be nice. I saw your other carrier hanging. But whatever the video I look forward to it. Thanks for sharing
same i wanna see this vs jpc or something..i have the HRAC version.
Yeah sure REMF kitchen utensil carrier. But how will it do out in Indian country BBQ's?
Returning mine. Plates bag doesn’t cover the the whole plate. Will not work with plates that are thicker then 0.75 and any type of trauma Pad. Also plate bag IFAK also won’t fit well. Also the hook and loop is reversed versus most other Plate Carrier closures. Meaning the Roughside will dig into your plate and can start premature wear.
I have Caliber UHMWPE plates in mine with their trauma pad. They measure 1.05”. Trauma pad unmeasured. So that is inaccurate.
If your plates don’t have a protective layer and you are worried about wear from the fabric, you bought wrong. Sorry man.
@@VSO_Gun_Channel I have the highcom plates. Which are step above calibers plate. The caliber level 4 and 3800 plates even have the same cover material. The hook side starts to remove material with any type of movement. So unless you have a hard coating on your plate carrier the HRT will remove material. Plates are 0.75. Even with the pad and plate IFAK it’s under the 1.25 HRT said was the limit. The back plate bag is bigger then the front one also. To where you have to fight to put the pad in. In about 20 or so videos were HRT has all giving people free Stuff. not one reviewer talked about this and some even stated it was made in the USA. Some have gotten rid of their HRT PC because they said just did t hold up or was junk but haven’t done an update video about that. ( I take that with a grain of salt as they re sponsored by another company ) If they fixed the hook and loop on the inside of the plate bag / made the flat wider. This PC could be a real winner.
@@aaronkeener95 the caliber plates are wrapped in fabric, like the hescos, that’s why they do it.
@@VSO_Gun_Channel You stated I bought wrong. Meanwhile I’m pointing out to you that other companies have that same fabric cover on there including caliber which the HRT plate carrier hook digs into and removes material. So what are we doing here ? HRT told me that I should put it in a pillowcase so no material would be removed from the plate as they only use plates with hard coatings. And will be updating their website
Will the RAC fit 1" thick plates?
Yes. I use Caliber UHMWPE, also, discount codes for armor needs on the affiliates page
How well would this go through Yeager's rifle classes? I got some training coming up next year that needs a good vest and need something rugged. If im gonna be wearing a vest for 4-5 days I want something worth the money that wont dip into my training funds.
I took FR and Advanced wearing an MOPC w ar500 plates.
If you’re going to Yeager’s classes, you just need to make sure the plate carrier is light enough to maximize you running away from enemy contact. He did this in Iraq.
In all seriousness, there are much better instructors than that clown.
Yeager is a joke and can't take criticism which is indicative of a bad teacher.
@@pvtsnoballz well he's planning to go to Ukraine. I wasnt a fan of him but he seemed sincere about this trip
@@tnh723 yeah. That doesn't change his other character traits. I'm not saying he's a shit human being, but what I wrote still stands. Have you not seen his reactions to criticism?
test the drag handle
My buddy: Know how I know you're gay? Because you framed an Asia poster.
Me:Ok well, you know how I know you're gay? Because you bought an AK chambered in 5.56.
Buddy: "Yeah, it's kinda gay"
Isn't a plate carrier suppose to be ran as tight as possible? Like, bear hug tight? If so, do you have issues with the buckles not staying buckled?
Did you watch the weight test?
@@VSO_Gun_Channel Tryimg to find the video, and it may not have been Skinny Medic, but yes, they had plates and the person was wearing it while being dragged.
@@VSO_Gun_Channel Nope. For sure Skinny Medic.
ruclips.net/video/7iLnf8v1_z8/видео.html
@@Megames2012 watch the video man.
@@VSO_Gun_Channel I did...? Not sure what you're wanting me watch out for (maybe the fact they used a drag line), but I still think getting dragged by the drag handle would be a good test for the carrier.
Sorry but I like side plates too. I mean your spending the money right? Your life depends on this, so maximum protection is what I want.
I got mine from the Body Armor Warehouse level 3 ++ rated to stop 30-06 7.62×39 ect including side plates and anti sprawl coating $350.00 shipped.
Be Nice To Know Where To Purchase...
How do you become a gun channel i’m terrible at editing
Will this accept the Haley Strategic kydex insets
If you’ve tried it or found someone who has please reply. I had a Haley chest rig and that’s the only thing i liked about it. Made it so easy to re index mags.
but, is it Bacon proof?
Fully load it up, get dragged but someone using the strap on the back for pulling the injured and see if anything falls out, retention on the Maximus, how full can you make the plate carrier (see exactly how much it holds and what if will look like when completely filled to the brim of stuff) do something to test the strength of the material even until failure if you didn’t care.
Just some options. I actually own this plate carrier myself and I like it a lot. :)
I feel like this guy wears his plate carrier to Starbucks and then cries in his Dodge Ram because they put the wrong flavouring in his Low-fat Soy Macchiato
@@___Mac___ you have no counter argument other than insults. Great points you are making as to why training the way you fight is somehow wrong.
@@appendixcarrybear9141 The best counter argument is "You don't and will not ever need this" But I think you lack the reasoning skills to process that.
Big guy compatibility. I'm a tall fat guy that is having a hard time finding armor that fits and is comfortable.
As a fat guy, I don’t blame manufacturers for my lack of ability to take care of myself.
That said, Safelife does have some offerings that run into much bigger sizes. VSO subs get a discount with our code (see the affiliates page in description box).
My wheels are turning on this though.
@@VSO_Gun_Channel for sure. I've been working on getting my ass back into shape for the last year or so. For me it's an issue of being 6'6" and at best 300 lbs. All the carriers look like I'm wearing a tactical bib. Either way your thoughts are appreciated. Keep it up!!
im 290 and it fits me well, it fit me well when i was 305 too. It does look smaller on me than regular people lmao...just like you said, looks like a tactical bib..but as im going down in weight it sorta started looking normal
Cost ?
185 RAC or 140 HRAC
So...honest question. Why would I buy something like this and when would I wear it? I'm a 55 year old guy with a job and a family that carries a gun concealed every day. Joe average gun guy. So why would I want this? I have no issue with it...I just see no purpose for this for me other than some kind of massive civil war. Is that why you would have it?
Hear someone beating on your door?you have a little time throw it on grab your gun and go. You hear something shooting the shit out of your block throw it on. there’s a million different reasons for body armor it’s the most passive form of self defense you could get one for everyone of you family members in your home it’s just Insurance.
I asked a friend of mine the same question. He told me that if he was ever in a situation where he actually needed to carry his rifle, he just might be in a situation that might require a little armor. God bless
Go to Wal-Mart, the movie theater, school!
You can buy back packs that are part plate carrier as well.
Why would you carry a spare tire?
Are you planning on having a flat?
An I.F.A.K. is a good thing to have also.
If you own something to make holes, you need something to stop holes and plug them up as well. Thx for reading!
Thanks for the replies...
If body armor isn't your thing there is also affordable ballistic shields that are more quickly deployed for home defense
People who wear Plate Carriers to the range are the human equivalent of Truck Nutz.
False, they are training how they would fight. Luckily this is America so we can do what we want 😁 Any American would be supportive!
The human equivalent of Truck Nutz is Kid Rock.
@@appendixcarrybear9141 When "who" would fight? And who are "they" fighting?
@@appendixcarrybear9141 People who comment "Any american would be supportive" are the Human equivalent of bible studies. Basically full of shit
@@appendixcarrybear9141 "We're training how we would fight" Oh okay so full of unnecessary gear, obese, and with low IQ. Got it.
I aint taking that to war. This slick and low profile plate carrier is cool for the range, but when you need literally everything strapped to you for serious and long engagements this aint gonna cut it,
Long engagements 😂😂😂 in America there is “no engagements” just people who talk about the boog in the comments
@@2ndamendment115 active shooters loaded with ammo and ready to die? Contracting in the middle east, most people think they are safe when in reality they don't realize how fragile their safety is. Im not talking about the stupid "boog". Im talking about real life. Where horrible shit happens everyday. Try and wake up and smell the roses before your buried with them. Some of us know what its like and what it takes to stay alive unfortunately. And I wish that upon no person. But you should be ready just in case it does. I hope it never does. But no one can predict the future, I know when 30 rioters break in. Or a foreign country attacks. I want to be ready,
Is it fat guy friendly?
YES! im 290.
