Hi, where did you buy your soft Kevlar liners from I can’t find them anywhere I’m looking at a size 190-120 so it’s a big space to fill. 🤔 looks like yours in the video are brand new????? Good videos on the Osprey gear, best on RUclips to be fair. Cheers.
Hi mate you can find them but you will probably have to buy the whole kit rather than individual soft liners. I know that's not really that helpful but you can go down that route and flog the rest of the gear to complete your kit. I have seem your sizes come up recently in the mil spec and civilian spec plate carrier. Only difference as far as I know in the specs is colour and some the pouches, protection is the same.
+Iwasthemilkman In the trade package (you opened one around 1:44) of the soft armour, there are sheets of paper. You tossed it away in 2:01. That's what I was looking for.
I have a question, my osprey is very tight when I take it off cause I'm quite fat faced, well fat in general, is there a way to loosen it so I don't tare off my ear
you see how the two shoulder parts fix together? undo one of the shoulder parts (remove the front from the rear) then open the front flaps of the armor as you normally would to remove it. now instead of lifting it over your head pull the closed shoulder side away as if removing a coat
You MIGHT get a set with the soft kevlar armour (usually black) on ebay if you are lucky. However, the hard armour is restriced at military level and never leave the stores (except for use or disctruction) American millitary hard plates will fit though :)
Where did you get the soft armour I can't find it anywhere
Nice instruction!!! Thx!!
Glad to help 😊

Hi Merrick, I seen some people online were selling Size 190-120 vests with soft armour inserts, see here - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/195171663212 -

Where do u get the armour from the collar
How thick is the soft armour
Tryna set my nato issue up now ,osprey 4 civilian armour
Is that the blue one? I think they call it the MK3a. I have seen at least one in military use...these videos should help with the build.
No closeup on the paperwork for the armour trade package?
+Tremulousnut do you mean the instruction booklet or the NSN on the clear bags?

Where do you get all of this kit from?
+SuperPig321 a mix of soldiers returning from Afghan and military surplus store Semma4 - they are on ebay, based in Maidstone

+The Dog Patrol yes, when you undo the front, also open one side of the neck. that is how most without collars are removed.
+Iwasthemilkman i don't understand, sorry

+Iwasthemilkman, what flaps and i under stand that, but is it secure with the just the Velcro
yeah, Velcro and poppers for the shoulder
The front flaps are the ones that wrap around the front from the back :)
Is it possible to get the armour inserts into the US? Or is it all restricted?

American millitary hard plates will fit though :)
+Iwasthemilkman sounds good. That would go well with AR500 then. Cool!
