LBT - on sale

https://lbtinc.com/collections...arriers/products/frg

Here's what I ended up with:



AR500Armor Lightweight Level III+ fully coated multicurve 10x12 plates with trauma pad backers in an Ares Armament (now American Weapons Components) Derma plate carrier with Cobra buckle elastic cummerbund. I replaced the shoulder pads with HSGI WAS/WEE shoulder pads, which are more comfortable and lower-profile. Attached on the front is a Spiritus Systems Micro panel with 2x AR mags, 2x pistol mags, and a front covered portion with spare flashlight, gloves, and handcuffs. Below that is a HSGI M3T medical pouch with IFAK and 2x tourniquets, rigged up as a "dangler"/"abdominal pouch" with some ITW buckles.

The Micro panel is held on with two side release buckles and a velcro panel, and can be quickly removed for lighter weight while instructing at the range, like so:



The medical pouch is also held on with two side release buckles, and can be removed for use elsewhere, or for storage.


All of the components, except for the armor panels, were bought used, either through friends or on eBay. The plates were purchased during AR500Armor's July 4th sale.


I already wore it for several full days of training this week, and I think it will work very well for me.

Trident Tactical excellent American made stuff, 50% off sale this weekend. Veteran owned and operated company.

Bump.

I'm in need of a carrier for a competition requiring rope climbs, running and sled drags as well as shooting events. All while carrying the plate carrier and kit to include the carbine, handgun and ammo.

However, I also want it to be decent enough to put real plates in it in the future.
