Hi y’all,
Another PC is most likely going to be my next purchase. Already have a Blue Force Gear Plateminus with Hesco L210s, 3x AR-15 shingle, and a small admin pouch. Not a bad carrier for the price I got it for, but I’m looking to upgrade and regulate this one as a backup/loaner/slick PC. Not a huge fan of how the cummerbund closed on the sides and it ain’t the most comfortable thing ever with the plates right against the body.
Was hard set on a minimalist carrier like the Trex Arms AC1 or the Crye JPC 2.0. After talking to some folks and looking at other carriers, I got to considering the First Spear Strandhögg. Its definitely bulkier, but appears to carry weight better and be overall more comfortable. I kinda like the FS tubes idea as there is not velcro to wear out.
Any PC I get will most likely have a Haley Strategic micro rig placard attached. I may or may not place items in the cummerbund, just depends on bulk and the ability to reach said items.
So with that out of the way, questions.
1. Has anyone had a JPC, AC1, or another similar carrier‘s cummerbund ever wear out from don/doffing? I usually wear mine 2x a month while at the range, and sometimes while running down my street for additional weight. If society did fall apart, this new carrier is what’d I’d use if I needed one. Say that to say, I need it to last.
2. For those who have used FS tubes, how flexible are they to go from a tshirt to sweater (hot/cold wear)? Any issues otherwise?
3. Is the increased comfort of the Strandhögg worth the additional $2-300 over a minimalist carrier? I’m not super concerned with money, but I still need to ask.
4. The FS Strandhögg appears to have shoulder pads that may interfere with mounting a rifle. Am I off base or correct here?
Any further input on the FS would be appreciated as I’m not finding tons of reviews on it. To mount a placard, I’ll be using Velocity Systems’ swift clips and an AXL velcro field. It‘ll add a bit of cost, but give me the same flexibility of the other carriers.
For now at least, this new carrier will also be used with Hesco L210s.
Anyways, just looking for a bit better carrier and these three stick out to me.
As always, I appreciate the thoughts of the folks on here.
