I saw the vid Nutnfancy did on those...so light! I can't imagine carrying the kind of weight B2M is talking about.

No kidding? I def would've thought the soft kevlar would've been lighter. You planning on any sort of padding between you and the plate?

Yea, you will see the nutnfancy discount in text on that page. Ordered a plate carrier earlier this week, may order a separate one for AR500 plates in the future.

Would that be compatible with a red dot?

Yes, I believe do. Says something about aligning with red dots in the description.

But the down point is if you don't want it magnified it has to be completely taken off, not adjust to get out of the way.

There are mounts that swing to the side I think, I am not the guy to ask about them though, I am not a fan of magnifiers.

the whole rig, which was just the carrier, front and back plates, was about 33-35lb, and adding the side plates which I think are about 5-7lbs your already about 40lbs without other gear like med pouch, ammo, radio, rifle etc. I think the whole rig topped out at about 65-70lbs


Which rig were you running? The Interceptor or the newer rig? That Interceptor is heavy as shite without the damn plates, but the newer version is a hell of a lot lighter.

I wore both, and the newer rig is/was an awful lot lighter, but still 50-60lbs with all the gear.

I've got the Interceptor and was amazed at the difference when one of our new guys showed up with the newer ones. When I was enlisted I had the gear vest on top of the Interceptor, that shite wasn't fun at all.

Hated that shite. I'd love to have a Rogue Gunfighter vest, there's just a bunch more shite on my wishlist before I start buying armor.
