    Damn those LBTs are a bit too much for me! lol They look nice though

    I will never get to train as much as I want to. So when I do I need to make it count.

    The Mayflower APC is very similar to the 6094. One of my assistant TL's wears one. I would say the APC is the most bang for your $$. It has some really nice built in features.

    D3 is a nice piece of kit, however if you want to go low profile as much as possible you will be better served with the BFG or Crye or something similar. D3 has too many pockets for a low profile kit even though it's regarded to be low profile - but it can be done with a large enough jacket for concealment. See the below link review for a set up that I similarly run. I am personally ok with not running a cumberbund CONUS and prefer a true low profile no nonsense set up. I really don't know how some run full kits with armor [some without armor :/] in classes / training that aren't planning a OCONUS deployment or have a direct action role SWAT / Metro set ups. YMMV.

    Interesting. I do like that very low profile set up. The wife giggles at me as I sit here trying to figure out which way I am going

    I don't see why so many people take issue with this.

    They wear it for the same reason every army training event is conducted while wearing body armor. Whether or not you'll wear it, might as well get use to it

    True. Mine as of now is going to be used simply for safety. I personally feel that if I am going to invest all this money into the hobby may as well take every step to ensure safety. Especially since I don't know every person who shoots at my club. It's also not a terrible thing to get use to should you need it someday in a shtf type situation.

    I really don't issue with it, rather I'd like to know the 'why' behind it especially in a non-DA LPAC role. If the goal is low profile, concealment and you go out in full kit like your going to be deployed in Durkadukastan I would believe that it's counterproductive to what one is trying to achieve. Mission dictates load out - I'm sure we would all agree Army/AF etc. vs. Civy roles are quite different. When I wore a full kit full time, there was never a time that I thought heavier was better. The light bulb went off for me when training & running with a slimmed down kit.

    Let me clarify that I do use armor and encourage for others during most training. Full kit = full load out vs. LPAC or 'Slick'. We are really saying the same thing, just defining terms differently.

    take a look at Specter Gear line of carriers. they have a couple different types for armor plates and chest rigs. I use there gear and it fits well and the price it under $200.

    Ok guys I have decided to pick up a PC from Condor Tactical. Lots of guys on this site like em so yea. BHAHAHA. Even as I typed that I was lulz.

    Srsly. Lots of options still checking all these out. Been really giving a lot of though to my mission specifics too. Since mine is to be as low profile as possible I am trying to look at each pc in that manner.
