Nice 👍!

I have this and use it for work. Depending on the weight of the plates you use, I recommend shoulder pads. This is a really good carrier. Although I HATE that the real plate bag is longer, therefore making the plate sit a little higher than needed. Because of this is been making my rear plate dig into my rear shoulder blades. I've adjusted everything to the appropriate length but still irritates me. I used many carriers and have 3 others, none of which give me this problem. I wish the AAC rear plate bag was the same size as the front

we actually special ordered the setup to have different setups for front vs rear. Our front is actually a Amphibian Swimmer M/L and the rear is an Ambphibian SAPI/SPEAR large. We did this based on the plates. The rear definitely fits, the front is crowning like a turd. Tight fit, holding fine, but definitely a difference in fitment.

I just got my hands on a FS strandhogg - in terms of using the Gcode mag holders, when you Molly them through, is there a degrading function when in come to the laser cut molle? - im at odds with going with a similar set up as yours or get AXL placard adapter for a chest rig to avoid the mentioned issue - thanks for the advice

yes, haven't had any issues. both in single stack and double stack formation. it's been quite a good combo so far.

Is that an 11"x14" rear plate? I like the additional height coverage on the back. I just wish this carrier had integrated Velcro ID panels front and back for LE ID patches.

Is the Crye Precision buckle on AAC magnetic? The buckles on my Strandhogg looks like stamped steel ones from ITW and began to rust over time.

one thing id have to say besides an awesome review try to show the front side of the PC and rotate it a few times cause youre pointing at things early on that nobody sees at all except for yourself as the video went on . Major points if you turn it around and point as you explain the carrier features. it sits there for most of the time in an hard to understand POV as an audience when its plopped on the table. it helps to show the item youre talking about. in proportion to the screen when sitting on the table, it shows more you and the BG than the product itself. but besides that the music is fine, altho i guess if someone else says its too loud, idk great lighting. abit bright out the window but does help to not tint the RG on the PC in orange. love the warm colors. love the review. considering the strandhogg but after this came out wasnt sure which one i wanted anymore

What are you using for the loop panels? I need loop for ID purposes and that is the only thing really holding me back from buying the AAC or Strandhogg.

@MantisDefense

2 жыл бұрын

On the back they offer a large loop panel that can mount to the PC. For the front, of you use the admin pouch there is space on that. I originally noticed the narrowness of mounting an admin pouch, not a whole lot of space around for extra loop.

Is there much difference between the aac and strandhogg? Im stuck on choosing one. Any advice?

@MantisDefense

4 жыл бұрын

There is a slight difference. Not much. I think the weight and the lack of the "extras" in terms of the bulk will be the most noticeable. Depends on the purpose you have.

Whats the weight alone of the AAC?

easy.... just put it up to our shoulder. Kidding. We base our rifle more into the chest than the shoulder. With plates that's a decision/cut you'll have to make whether to base on your shoulder more, your plates, or whatever combination you end up with

i found the aac and the strandhogg to be about the same, but maybe the material thinness on the aac makes it seem more comfortable. I'll most likely get the shoulder pads for it.

Sadly they were dumb enough to run hard plastics clips where a rifle stock rides...

Title this "Asian dude talks about plate carrier".

the tubes will not wear away? yeah okay, lmfao. You're velcro isn't being taken care of as it should as you do with all your other equipment. It doesn't take much to clean velcro and make it like new again. I'd trust that velcro over that plastic any day of the week. Has that plastic been tested in 100* Heat? Cold temperatures? what's the flexibilty of those tubes? Velcro is made to take the load throughout the whole thing, and those plastic tubes are taking loads through out the tube at different angles. I guarantee that plastic will eat up those straps. But of course if you intend on standing and not doing anything than this plastic tube gimmick is okay.
