Great video, thanks for sharing, I've ran all types of plate carriers, so far I'm down to 2 Shell Back Tactical with the First Spear Cumberland retrofit, and I run a First Spear plate carrier, I ordered a Crye Precision JPC 2.0 from US Patriot Tactical, however its on backorder when they still have it listed in stock, bad business if you ask me, im glad I found your channel, Blessings to you and your family my brother in Arms.
Finally! Found someone to give an answer on the stuff I've been seeing regarding upsizing on the JPC. Great video my man, and thank you for your information
Amazing overview as well as display of productions and their features. RUclips finally posted this up in my recommended feed lol. Anyways, fantastic vid as always man and DM me later. I'll run you by a design for an integrated tubes setup for the SPC to allow for the load-bearing capability; but, easy of donning on/off with the tubes
Glad to see someone else shooting Austin Adams some business. I've been running his stuff for a bit and it's not perfect, but it's better than OEM for my uses.
Agreed on the G-Hook warning at 9:18 --the ride height is a good way to punch yourself in the face every time you want to get to your mags. I didn't wanna shell out the cash for a new placard, so the solution was to buy two more G-hooks + some 1" webbing and sew myself a homebrew 'stendo g-hook. It's janky as hell but it hasn't let me down yet.
@@EODFish I don't need entertainment I need information! :) Anyways thanks. Can't wait till my JPC arrives - I had a crap ar500 carrier I did zero research on for the last 4 years, and 9lb steel 3+'s lol.
I love all the comments from people who want to buy a plate carrier that cost three times what their steel plates cost. Sell those shit steel plates and buy some real ones. “BuT iT hAs AnTi-SpALl CoAtInG”
I've had a harnessed'd AVS since 2015, exactly the same config as I set it up with; slick fixed right side with single strap, busy left side QD'd for side exit. Still love it, but I want to go more minimalist for low vis, wearing with a chest rig, wearing with a pack, LBV etc so I think I'll get an SPC and the axl structurebund
@@EODFish I have an AVS MBAV, JPC, and also ditched the CPC. Been looking at the SPC and wanted to know if it was worth buying. I'm now seeing that theres no reason to get the SPC if I already have the other two. Keep the JPC for minimalist and use the AVS for heavier load outs.
I ended up just getting an avs. Heard the harness is alot more comfortable than the sandwich board carriers. Is it pretty comfortable for a carrier? Excited to check it out
I have the AVS with the harness and all the pouches that I just acquired. It is a lot! But hopefully after starting at the 28:49 mark and watching about 20 times I think I understand a little bit better now. Also been watching Legion Preparedness on this vest. The quick release sounds like the way to go. Are you wearing side plates with the configuration?
I just bought the JPC 2.0 FROM CRYE and I’m glad I watched Garande Thumbs video on it before hand. You mentioned the admin pouch, but I don’t see the link.. can I get the link for the admin pouch please and thank you. Great video as well
EOD Fish yes you did mention that, but your pouch was zippered. I don’t believe that the JPC 2.0 comes with a zippered admin pouch. However I was aware that it did have an admin pocket
Solid video! Great job explaining things as well as visually! Is there any particular reason you have the three different platforms that you do? Also, have you checked out any of the Haley Strategic Gear?
BTW- Do you use a camera or your phone to shoot your vids? Curious if you’ve ever checked out one of the DJI gimbals? They have an “auto follow” mode which makes the camera on your phone move and follow you by itself as well as stay in focus on its own. Kinda like having a second person filming you and can cut down on editing time. Could be helpful if you’re trying to throw one of your rigs on to add visually with functionality bla bla..
I haven’t but I really appreciate the tip and will look into it as I do this all myself. EGL is extreme gear labs, they were the ones that designed the first Haley rig and in my opinion have better build quality as well as customization.
Any change in opinions on these, I have a gen 1 jpc I’ve had for years, ready for a update. Looking at the spc or the Avs with harness. But maybe the avs is a little over kill for what I’m wanting. Who would you recommend the avs for?
With my JPC 2.0, I sewed the tubes adapter and the quick doff cummerbund together, so that I have the ability to put it on easily with the tubes and keep my adjustments exactly where I want them, but in an emergency I yank the handles and it all falls apart like it's supposed to. It's actually pretty simple. All you have to do is take out the stitches attaching the doff velcro panel to the cummerbund, sew in the tubes adaptor, then place the doff panel behind the tubes panel. It'll extend about an inch past the tubes panel. Then you sew the doff panel to the tubes panel across the edge closest to the cummerbund straps, size it to your body, close it up and voila! Easy on, easy off, with quick doff capabilities still intact. Best part is that if you do like I do and put a single pistol mag pouch (whatever your favorite one to use is... doesn't matter. I've tried it with HSGI, BFG, Condor, Ronin tac, Haley strat, and some airsoft brands -there's one from a company called Idogear that I really like, AND it fucking handles some abuse... I'd feel totally comfortable running it in actual combat) then you can grip the mag pouch like a handle and the tubes become stupid easy to slide in. Getting them off is just grab the loop and pull away and down. I would make a video, but I'm fucking lazy and hate being on camera. I figure anyone interested in this stuff is relatively smart like I am, and can figure it out from my explanation. We grunts aren't stupid... we're crazy. Stupid grunts don't last long, amirite? But you gotta be crazy to find this job appealing in the first place. What kind of asshole thinks it's a good idea to run TOWARDS gunfire? *This asshole, duh.* 😂🤣😂🤣
Were you Navy EOD, just curios and if so big thank you. Not one of those “show me your credentials” guys lol. Either way, great review and awesome comparison, appreciate your time and sharing your experience.
EOD Fish haha, no worries and only thought so due to the fish. My wilderness survival instructor was Navy EOD, so I’ve heard some of the stories and no matter which branch my hat goes off to all of them and to you.
great video! I m torn between which carrier to purchase. I can't try them on where I live, so I m relying on you and Mike. Im leaning towards SPS. So you like the AVS mag pouch I thought esstec triple kywi tall was a good choice. Am I nuts? Where do you get the camo/black flag patch? again thank you for your great feedback
I have said a couple other times in the comments and it has been a few years since I had a CPC but I don’t care for how “fixed” it is. I have been told for years to be prepared for rocking a 7.62 AR so I try to ensure I have that possibility open. Granted that never came to fruition but I also don’t carry the weight to justify the CPC.
@@EODFish makes sense, from my experience with the cpc it is a pretty ridge setup and doesn't offer to much in the way of flexibility. Thanks for the speedy reply
It’s a thing? It’s extremely comfortable and if merely wearing armor for long periods of time is your jam then they are great. They start to fail quickly though in the lack of modularity and they flat out suck for shouldering a rifle for a significant portion of the population.
Thanks for this! I upgraded to an spc, and I thought I was missing something.. it just doesn’t fit like my other carriers. I don’t like how the cummerbund is so rigid honestly, it messes with my monility. I even bought a size smaller cummerbund and it still fits... just weird. I’m hoping if I change plates it may fix this...? 🤷🏻♂️ Great overall comparison and honest review!
I have sapi cut single curve. I am waiting for multicurve as the demand right now has made the wait longer, but should have some soon. Do you recommend any specific plates for it?
I think you will find the SPC is just less forgiving about single curve. It still isn’t as comfortable to me as the JPC with multi-curve but it does carry weight better.
@@EODFish thank you for you response. That makes me feel sooo much better that I’m not crazy. If I don’t like the multicurve in the spc.. jpc it is! Thanks again.
I have a Crye Precision 1.0.. My goal is to be able to add a placard and the quick tube adapters. I would like to keep it as clean as possible on the front.
@@EODFish if I had the JPC 1.0 and I wanted to use swift clips or some alternative to swift clips to mount chest rigs, what would you recommend I get? I see you have something next to the molle field up top
@@austinwoods917 cut off the flap and buy the AXL JPC 1.0 adaptor. They make a lower Velcro field adaptor for people sheepish of removing the flap but that adds bulk. Just ditch it all together.
I've been looking at the cage chassis carrier but I've seen the CPC as well. I've been all over the Crye site but man I'm not finding the information I'm looking for other than pricing. Just looking for the recommendation I suppose other than price.
Apologize if I missed it, but what are the shoulder pads or shoulder cushioning you have attached to the JPC 2.0? Doesn't seem like the ones that come with the carrier
Thanks for the review brother. I've got no experience with JPCs. How do you like the shoulder/plate bag padding (or lack thereof) and is the rear cummerbund bungee secure or do you find it lacking? I'm debating between a JPC and a Velocity Scarab.
I have never found the JPC lacking in comfort and prefer it out of the box to the Scarab. After market support is much better for the JPC as well. All that said, the Scarab is phenomenal if it fits your needs as is.
@@EODFish one thing that appealed to me was the articulating shoulder straps and the v cut outs of the plate bag of the scarab as I have trouble shouldering a carbine if shoulder straps are too bulky. Do you think the scarab is worth the extra $90?
@@christiandinero8083 they have the best shoulder straps on the market hands down. Again, you need to make sure the rest of it is what you want though. There is zero back panel support out there and the front of it is a little wonky compared to a lot of other options out there. I’ll pull my scarab out tonightish and do a video
I've looked at the JPC 2.0 and SPC. I'm stuck between the two. I have RMA Armament 10" x 12" x 1" plates. Their website says, "Single-Curve, SAPI/ESAPI-Cut" which I'm assuming would just correspond to a shooter's cut plate carrier? If so, would the medium sized plate carrier SPC or JPC 2.0 be to correct size for these plates? One more thing, when talking about the SPC, you mention not using the hangers, but you do mention AXL though. I was thinking of running a placard setup for my front panel (probably an AXL conversion) so it's easily interchangeable/removable, do you have any objection to this idea? Other than all of those questions, thanks for the informative video! Much appreciated.
Back panels are good to go. That is an easy one. Medium should be what you need but that isn’t a shooter cut. For all intents and purposes, shooter=swimmer. I’m a bit lost on the placard question but you can’t go wrong with anything AXL.
@@EODFish I only ask because on the Crye website the SPC comes in a regular "blank" version and swimmers cut version. So I wasn't sure which one would be the correct choice for my plates. At 20:15 you talk about the hangers on the SPC and recommend not using them. AXL has an adapter that adds a middle layer of velcro between the two on the SPC chest and then loops through those hangers for side release buckles that drop the height to placard standards.
I bought a JPC 2.0 as my first carrier and wasn't that impressed. I found the stitching to be mediocre and downright sloppy in places. The stitching on the shoulder strap covers was pretty atrocious. Maybe I had too high expectations from all the Crye hype but I ditched it for a Spiritus 6 months later. Much happier now.
Yeah I've had my 2.0 for a year and a half. And mostly work out in it 3 ,4 times a week. And it has rips on the hypalon, and stitching coming loose in some spots. But i changed from rma to highcoms and cut 2 pounds out the carrier so hopefully it holds better now.
Will Botach 10 by12 ceramic plates fit the Airlite spc carrier? And if so, what size should the Aiite bags be? I’m guessing large Airlite Plate Bags with small Airlite Cummerbund? Or is that even an option? Thank you so much sir for taking the time to explain this. My spine is crushed in 2 places and I’m looking so hard for a plate carrier set up that could work for me. I like the structured cummerbund by Crye, to take weight off my shoulders and hopefully work well distributing weight to my hips using the stikks system. Tks man.
The botach plates are pure chinesium so I don’t recommend them at all. That said, they should be shooter/swimmer cut and would probably require a large swimmer cut SPC.
Do you have any experience with the JPC 2.0 Maritime Standard cut? I know that the swimmer cut has been out for a little while but I haven’t seen anybody talk about the standard.
Wow...you have a serious gear hoard there man. I just upgraded my heavy duty set up to the Crye CPC in multicam with x3 Double HSGI m4 tacos and x2 pistol mag tacos and a pair of the Crye frag pouches and my Haley Strategic Dangler. I will still run my JPC 2.0 for shorter games or longer skirmish games. But it just couldn't hold all the stuff I needed when Im out in the field for several hours away the bulk of your items. I am looking at adding a utility pouch and assault pack but need to weigh the options first. Do you recommend anything in particular under the $250 range?
i have lvl 4 plates, and lvl 4 side plates on a jpc 2.0 making it already about 20 pounds without anything else, and im going to be putting other stuff like mags etc.. on there, and the plate carrier is really uncomfortable. all the weight is on the shoulders, and my shoulders hurt even though the weight shouldnt be a problem. im a very in shape muscular person that does pullups and pushups with 30 pound weighted vest, and that vest feels like nothing to me. some people recommended me getting axl shoulder pads to help with shoulder pain. should i do that or just get a avs or spc because im guessing my end weight after all my stuff is on the carrier to be close to 30 pounds. your advice would be greatly appreciated.
I have really thin 0.5” plates (highcom RSTP) in 10x12 scmc . They swim around in normal medium plate bags.. would a small spc or a swimmer cut spc in med be a good fit?
I want to say JPC 2.0 because I have the most time with it but all things considered, the SPC is significantly better and I love the way it can use the AVS dedicated pouches. I have a admin pouch that I designed which fills the only gap left over the JPC so there is no reason to go that route unless the SPC just isn’t comfortable for you.
@@EODFish I wish I could try them out first. Not like it would matter anyway, everything is out of stock! Thanks for your detailed review. SPC was where I was leaning.
Hi! I'm new to Crye carriers. I'm looking at the JPC 2.0 and wondering if you can tell me if their fit chart is true to size? I have a 43" chest measuring under my arms which puts me in a large. Would that be accurate? I'm ordering online because no one within 200 miles of me sells Crye. Thank you.
@@EODFish The SWIMMER cut SPC fits differently than the normal SPC as it matches plates. 10"x12" plates fit the size LARGE Swimmer SPC, apparently. But MEDIUM (Regular) SPC fits Medium SAPI (9.5"x12.5") plates.
Anyone know why I haven’t received my JPC 2.0 yet? I ordered around a week ago off there official site is this normal or is something going on I also paid extra for fast shipping
You are correct man, it isn’t cheap. I don’t really have a running total on it all but you are probably looking at upwards of a grand without accounting for armor or equipment.
@@EODFish I'm curious to know if there is something about the HSP you don't like. I have one on the back of my JPC 2.0 and aside from the zipper pulls, I love it.
I just don’t think it does anything better than its competitors and with significantly less flexibility than it needs to be a true jack of all trades which would give it some forgiveness from me. I don’t like that it is either fixed mount or really shitty standalone. The expansion is offers isn’t really enough for me to be accepting of its main gimmick. The one caveat I’ll say is that if all you want is a hydration sleeve that can be more inextremis, then they are very affordable and quite serviceable.
@David Bennett The problem with mounted packs is that you have to remove your whole PC in order to access it, or you have to bother your buddy to get your stuff while you stand there doing some weird half-squat while he digs around your bag. In my opinion, First Spear seems to be the best option for removable/mounted pack, at the moment.
That really needs to be the first step. Figure out your budget and what your options are. Weigh the advantages/disadvantages of shooter/swimmer cut vs sapi cut and get them in hand or on order. That said, you are probably a medium.

I had a esstac triple as my chest pouch and really hated it. They are nice pouches but that use wasn’t for me.
How are you liking the SHAW Placard? I’m on the fence atm about grabbing one to swap in & out with my spiritus in my 2.0
I love it as I’m not sold on the bulk of the micro fight.
Will 10x12 plates fit in a xl or a large crye precision jpc?
Where do you suggest buying plates?
Very cool vid dude sad you didnt put the vests on you
Not sure the value added would be worth the editing time involved.
What are your thoughts on the crye CPC?
Really good info in the video, thanks!
I have said a couple other times in the comments and it has been a few years since I had a CPC but I don’t care for how “fixed” it is. I have been told for years to be prepared for rocking a 7.62 AR so I try to ensure I have that possibility open. Granted that never came to fruition but I also don’t carry the weight to justify the CPC.
@@EODFish makes sense, from my experience with the cpc it is a pretty ridge setup and doesn't offer to much in the way of flexibility.
Thanks for the speedy reply
Any thoughts on the Strandhögg setup from FirstSpear?
It’s a thing? It’s extremely comfortable and if merely wearing armor for long periods of time is your jam then they are great. They start to fail quickly though in the lack of modularity and they flat out suck for shouldering a rifle for a significant portion of the population.
I know the video is from four years ago, but could you make a list of the things used for the AVS with the harness system with links?
Thanks for this! I upgraded to an spc, and I thought I was missing something.. it just doesn’t fit like my other carriers. I don’t like how the cummerbund is so rigid honestly, it messes with my monility. I even bought a size smaller cummerbund and it still fits... just weird. I’m hoping if I change plates it may fix this...? 🤷🏻♂️
Great overall comparison and honest review!
Are your plates single or multi curve?
I have sapi cut single curve. I am waiting for multicurve as the demand right now has made the wait longer, but should have some soon. Do you recommend any specific plates for it?
I think you will find the SPC is just less forgiving about single curve. It still isn’t as comfortable to me as the JPC with multi-curve but it does carry weight better.
@@EODFish thank you for you response. That makes me feel sooo much better that I’m not crazy. If I don’t like the multicurve in the spc.. jpc it is! Thanks again.
Great video, what brand of shoulder pads are you using ? I have a JPC 1.0 and need some shoulder pads.
Qore or AXL are the way to go.
@@EODFish Thanks, If you decide to sell the SPC, please let me know. I emailed Crye, and they won't be available until the end of August.
I have a Crye Precision 1.0.. My goal is to be able to add a placard and the quick tube adapters. I would like to keep it as clean as possible on the front.
Chop that flap right off. Get a placard made with hook on back and tubes on the edges, it will hold plenty strong.
@@EODFish if I had the JPC 1.0 and I wanted to use swift clips or some alternative to swift clips to mount chest rigs, what would you recommend I get? I see you have something next to the molle field up top
@@austinwoods917 cut off the flap and buy the AXL JPC 1.0 adaptor. They make a lower Velcro field adaptor for people sheepish of removing the flap but that adds bulk. Just ditch it all together.
@@EODFish thank you, I'll get those whenever they are back in stock
@@EODFish Can you please put out a video showing how to install the AXL 1.0 adapter? Thank you
I've been looking at the cage chassis carrier but I've seen the CPC as well. I've been all over the Crye site but man I'm not finding the information I'm looking for other than pricing.
Just looking for the recommendation I suppose other than price.
This day and age, you’d probably be better served with the AVS.
@@EODFish i have replica of both.. AVS hands down
Apologize if I missed it, but what are the shoulder pads or shoulder cushioning you have attached to the JPC 2.0? Doesn't seem like the ones that come with the carrier
I’d have to go back and check but either some FS pads similar to the Eagle DPC or Qore Ice Vents.
JUST A RANDOM PIECE OF ADVICE I LEARNED ....SMALL LVL 4 SAPIS(highcom 4s17m's) FIT WELL IN A 10X12 MEDIUM JPC SWIMMER CUT.
Thanks for the review brother. I've got no experience with JPCs. How do you like the shoulder/plate bag padding (or lack thereof) and is the rear cummerbund bungee secure or do you find it lacking? I'm debating between a JPC and a Velocity Scarab.
I have never found the JPC lacking in comfort and prefer it out of the box to the Scarab. After market support is much better for the JPC as well. All that said, the Scarab is phenomenal if it fits your needs as is.
@@EODFish one thing that appealed to me was the articulating shoulder straps and the v cut outs of the plate bag of the scarab as I have trouble shouldering a carbine if shoulder straps are too bulky. Do you think the scarab is worth the extra $90?
@@christiandinero8083 they have the best shoulder straps on the market hands down. Again, you need to make sure the rest of it is what you want though. There is zero back panel support out there and the front of it is a little wonky compared to a lot of other options out there. I’ll pull my scarab out tonightish and do a video
@@EODFish sounds great. I'll be looking out for it. I appreciate reviews because vant really see how good or bad a carrier can be from pictures.
I've looked at the JPC 2.0 and SPC. I'm stuck between the two. I have RMA Armament 10" x 12" x 1" plates. Their website says, "Single-Curve, SAPI/ESAPI-Cut" which I'm assuming would just correspond to a shooter's cut plate carrier? If so, would the medium sized plate carrier SPC or JPC 2.0 be to correct size for these plates? One more thing, when talking about the SPC, you mention not using the hangers, but you do mention AXL though. I was thinking of running a placard setup for my front panel (probably an AXL conversion) so it's easily interchangeable/removable, do you have any objection to this idea?
Other than all of those questions, thanks for the informative video! Much appreciated.
Sorry, one more thing, do you think the JPC backpack or molle panel would be compatible with the SPC?
Back panels are good to go. That is an easy one.
Medium should be what you need but that isn’t a shooter cut. For all intents and purposes, shooter=swimmer.
I’m a bit lost on the placard question but you can’t go wrong with anything AXL.
@@EODFish I only ask because on the Crye website the SPC comes in a regular "blank" version and swimmers cut version. So I wasn't sure which one would be the correct choice for my plates.
At 20:15 you talk about the hangers on the SPC and recommend not using them. AXL has an adapter that adds a middle layer of velcro between the two on the SPC chest and then loops through those hangers for side release buckles that drop the height to placard standards.
Correct, like ten seconds later I recommend the AXL piece.
The blank is the SAPI cut. Use that one.
Does anyone know How the medium AVS plate bags play with 10 x 12 plates?
I bought a JPC 2.0 as my first carrier and wasn't that impressed. I found the stitching to be mediocre and downright sloppy in places. The stitching on the shoulder strap covers was pretty atrocious. Maybe I had too high expectations from all the Crye hype but I ditched it for a Spiritus 6 months later. Much happier now.
Yeah I've had my 2.0 for a year and a half. And mostly work out in it 3 ,4 times a week. And it has rips on the hypalon, and stitching coming loose in some spots. But i changed from rma to highcoms and cut 2 pounds out the carrier so hopefully it holds better now.
Was actually gonna get a lv119 til I found out they don't make a small
Sometimes when large amounts of orders come in the quality is not 100%
Congress really needs to cut the air force budget, jc.
Never going to happen. Its the biggest way we project our force overseas more than anything.
I wish I could say even half of this was issued but you probably aren’t wrong.
Keep those PJs online bro
What do you think about the stretch cummerbund? I got a jpc 2.0 and was thinking about that.
It does nothing better than an A&A tactical and I’d wager it’s worse in a few ways.
I have a ar500 testudo. But I'm curious what are the buckels on the front top of carrier called and what does it do
They allow you to connect placards and are called side release buckles.
Will Botach 10 by12 ceramic plates fit the Airlite spc carrier? And if so, what size should the Aiite bags be? I’m guessing large Airlite Plate Bags with small Airlite Cummerbund? Or is that even an option? Thank you so much sir for taking the time to explain this. My spine is crushed in 2 places and I’m looking so hard for a plate carrier set up that could work for me. I like the structured cummerbund by Crye, to take weight off my shoulders and hopefully work well distributing weight to my hips using the stikks system. Tks man.
The botach plates are pure chinesium so I don’t recommend them at all. That said, they should be shooter/swimmer cut and would probably require a large swimmer cut SPC.
Do you have any experience with the JPC 2.0 Maritime Standard cut? I know that the swimmer cut has been out for a little while but I haven’t seen anybody talk about the standard.
It’s my go to vest and has been for years. The standard cut is the one in this video.
@@EODFish oh sorry I meant the Maritime standard cut, gonna edit my comment
I don’t like the maritime at all. SPC provides all the benefits with none of the concerns.
Wow...you have a serious gear hoard there man. I just upgraded my heavy duty set up to the Crye CPC in multicam with x3 Double HSGI m4 tacos and x2 pistol mag tacos and a pair of the Crye frag pouches and my Haley Strategic Dangler. I will still run my JPC 2.0 for shorter games or longer skirmish games. But it just couldn't hold all the stuff I needed when Im out in the field for several hours away the bulk of your items. I am looking at adding a utility pouch and assault pack but need to weigh the options first. Do you recommend anything in particular under the $250 range?
The AVS1000 makes for a phenomenal assault pack.
where is the best place to source an AVS?
Dope vid! Where did you get the US flag patch from?
Bought it used, sorry.
RE Factor Tactical has them.
That salted drift wood was a bit distracting...
The fact that you commented on it proves your point. I’ll never let it happen again.
@@EODFish You could always do a video about it haha... seems as though it means something to you.
It means something to my wife. I don’t even remember where we snagged it.
I have the small JPC Swimmers cut in a small will that still fit 10x12 lvl4 plates?
No.
Hey man I have a 46 inch chest and 40 inch belly what size JPC 2.0 should I get?
Small or Med I cannot find a size chart.
Thanks Man great video!
LOL Never mind I just found the chart haha
What size did you go with? Looking at the sizing chart, I would go with large.
He should be a large unless he is real thick.
Will LA Police Gear Level lll armor fit into the 2.0? Measure at 9.85" x 11.8"
Are those swimmer cut? I don’t really concern myself with chinese PPE.
Will 9.5x12.5s fit in the cpc need to know! Whose gonna be that guy and give me a certain yes or no?
Hello Mate, you mentioned that placards are not the way to go when running the SPC, could you post a photo displaying that on IG please?
I just saw this. I’ll see if I can show that well.
What shoulder pads do you have on your jpc?
Qore Ice Vents. I have a video on them.
What size SPC would you recommend for 10x12 AR500 advanced lightweight shooters cut plates?
The large swimmer cut.
Checking in 2 years later... With Hesco 3810s
hello, what are the brands of cummers at 4 minutes thank you
A&A Tactical.
What size plates do you use?
Typically medium but have smalls also, mainly for use with BALCS.
Will a.medium jpc 1.0 fit hessco l210 10x12? Seems like you would know.
It should.
What about the magnificent cage plate carrier?
I don’t find them that magnificent so I haven’t had one for years.
So these setups only use the hard ballistic plate with no soft ballistic materials like Kevlar?
They are built for SAPI cut rifle protection. I use soft armor backers with the same cut in all of these.
i have lvl 4 plates, and lvl 4 side plates on a jpc 2.0 making it already about 20 pounds without anything else, and im going to be putting other stuff like mags etc.. on there, and the plate carrier is really uncomfortable. all the weight is on the shoulders, and my shoulders hurt even though the weight shouldnt be a problem. im a very in shape muscular person that does pullups and pushups with 30 pound weighted vest, and that vest feels like nothing to me. some people recommended me getting axl shoulder pads to help with shoulder pain. should i do that or just get a avs or spc because im guessing my end weight after all my stuff is on the carrier to be close to 30 pounds. your advice would be greatly appreciated.
Give an SPC a shot but just armor in an JPC shouldn’t be causing such issues.
I like my cpc
what do you think about the JPC 2.0 elastic shoulder straps? the "stretchy" part. do they hold up? how durable is it?
Never had any issues with that.
@@EODFish awesome! thank you for the response sir!
Which carrier should I get if I have swimmer plates?
A swimmer cut carrier.
I have really thin 0.5” plates (highcom RSTP) in 10x12 scmc . They swim around in normal medium plate bags.. would a small spc or a swimmer cut spc in med be a good fit?
I wouldn’t change cut but a small might work.
For doing normal grunt work and carrying alot of shit (6 mags, 2 grenades, knife, tool, etc), would the jpc or avs work better?
I have honestly never managed to push my JPC 2.0 past being comfortable and it is significantly better than the AVS with a ruck.
If you could only have one, which one would you choose?
I want to say JPC 2.0 because I have the most time with it but all things considered, the SPC is significantly better and I love the way it can use the AVS dedicated pouches. I have a admin pouch that I designed which fills the only gap left over the JPC so there is no reason to go that route unless the SPC just isn’t comfortable for you.
@@EODFish I wish I could try them out first. Not like it would matter anyway, everything is out of stock! Thanks for your detailed review. SPC was where I was leaning.
Where do you buy the tubes adapter?
Saber Solutions
@@EODFish Thanks man!
Hi! I'm new to Crye carriers. I'm looking at the JPC 2.0 and wondering if you can tell me if their fit chart is true to size? I have a 43" chest measuring under my arms which puts me in a large. Would that be accurate? I'm ordering online because no one within 200 miles of me sells Crye. Thank you.
What size plates do you own?
@@EODFish That would help. Medium SAPI plates.9.5 x 12.5 multicurve.
I'm 5'8" and described as "stocky".
@@liquorball44 then buy a medium. It’s all plate size driven.
@@EODFish Well thank goodness I asked! Thank you!
They say rma multi curves won’t fit medium jpc 1.0? Thoughts?
No clue, don’t have them.
Will 10x12 Swimmer’s cut plates fit in a Small SPC? I’m 5’10 175 lbs size 40 chest.
Those are medium swimmers. They sell a swimmer cut SPC. Your body size is irrelevant if you already have plates.
Those are LARGE swimmers.
@@EODFish The SWIMMER cut SPC fits differently than the normal SPC as it matches plates. 10"x12" plates fit the size LARGE Swimmer SPC, apparently. But MEDIUM (Regular) SPC fits Medium SAPI (9.5"x12.5") plates.
You are right. I have only messed with one swimmer cut plate ever and was wrong on what size they are.
What's the name of the people who make the custom admin pouch on JPC2
The word custom kind of implies a lack of an answer.
How would you rate the AVS with no harness vs harness?
It’s right in the video. It’s worthless for the money without the harness.
@@EODFish thanks for your time
Anyone know why I haven’t received my JPC 2.0 yet? I ordered around a week ago off there official site is this normal or is something going on I also paid extra for fast shipping
Have you not heard the lore of Crye lead times?
Might get it in December
How much does a JPC 2.0 like yours cost please? Everything is separate and if my math is correct it’s a very expensive proposition.🤷🏼♂️
You are correct man, it isn’t cheap. I don’t really have a running total on it all but you are probably looking at upwards of a grand without accounting for armor or equipment.
Does the JPC take multi curve level 4 plates 10 x 12?
No
Yes
@@EODFish - Thank you.
05:14 that's what she said
Fax
What size do you wear
Medium
Are Haley Strategic flatpacks compatible with JPC 2.0s?
Of course they are, its a big nylon rectangle with MOLLE. Not sure why anyone would want one though.
@@EODFish I'm curious to know if there is something about the HSP you don't like. I have one on the back of my JPC 2.0 and aside from the zipper pulls, I love it.
I just don’t think it does anything better than its competitors and with significantly less flexibility than it needs to be a true jack of all trades which would give it some forgiveness from me.
I don’t like that it is either fixed mount or really shitty standalone. The expansion is offers isn’t really enough for me to be accepting of its main gimmick.
The one caveat I’ll say is that if all you want is a hydration sleeve that can be more inextremis, then they are very affordable and quite serviceable.
@David Bennett The problem with mounted packs is that you have to remove your whole PC in order to access it, or you have to bother your buddy to get your stuff while you stand there doing some weird half-squat while he digs around your bag.
In my opinion, First Spear seems to be the best option for removable/mounted pack, at the moment.
EOD Fish what would be a good option for a zip/molle pack then? Are they even useful?
if you had to pick one, which one would you pick? JPC 2.0 or SPC ?
Dual radios and side plates everytime, SPC. Less than that, JPC.
Does spc have more durable material ,especially on shoulder straps compared to jpc2.0?
I think so but it’s all subjective to me.
@@EODFish im 6” tall and 200 pounds with 34 waist, im not planning to use radio, my plates size is L , do you recommend m or s cummerbund?
I had the back panel for my jpc 2.0 and the fitment sucked
Which panel? How so?
I’m 5,11 size 40 chest, should I get a large or medium JPC 2.0?
What size plates do you own?
EOD Fish I haven’t bought any yet.
That really needs to be the first step. Figure out your budget and what your options are. Weigh the advantages/disadvantages of shooter/swimmer cut vs sapi cut and get them in hand or on order. That said, you are probably a medium.
EOD Fish thank you sir
What’s with the wrench?
I have nuts to tighten.
