Platatac reddit review. Subreddit for both professional and civilian tactical gear. I’ve likely got something from most “gucci” or “combat proven” companies (some are only considered good because they have government contracts), and Platatac is easily in the top 3-5 list every time. I have their Mk4 Peacekeeper and it’s indeed a keeper. Now I go with Platatac over Crye because they're cheaper, I I disagree, I've seen guys with the higher end QB sleeves and they use them well. It works. Can anyone recommend any good bags? Cheers A subreddit for discussing and posting tactical/combat gear. 268K subscribers in the tacticalgear community. I'm a larger guy, short stubby Mexican type. The Platatac Peacekeeper Mk4/5 is also potentially a good pre-sewn option, but there are some possible user-dependent issues with fit, pocket arrangement, and the price also jumped up quite a lot recently. This tiger stripe is a bit darker, being it has a bluish tone to the colors unlike the broad brighter green truspec and the subdued rothco tiger stripe. Of course, why not. Platatac stocks it but it’s near enough the same price as the silks alpha aaaaaand they only have ranger green. Airlite is bae, all my homies love the Airlite chest rig. Even with the new Frag vest adding some Molle the new fastening system makes it awful to take on and off We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. Platatac makes good stuff - both uniforms and pouches/rigs. Also, the website is old, yes. > 2x Platatac Billy patrol pouch (OG, new version releasing soon) > 2x BDS tactical nalgene pouch > 1x Velocity system jungle buttpack > 1x YMI tactical nalgene pouch It was fun building out the modern kit as I spent 2 months looking for the Billy pouches. The Frag Vest is not great compared to modern body armor offerings. Some are issues, others are individual purchase. It takes some time to get them in due to large batches and obviously a long ship time. If you like the Mayflower, for $20 more you get a padded harness, side pouches, a bigger velcro panel (for attaching to front of PC or dangler compatibility), an internal rear slot for a zip-top pocket insert (like Arbor Arms or Platatac makes), and dedicated pistol mag pouches (if that matters to you). You can buy a knock-off Airlite harness and attach it to anything. I've tried the MK5 Chest rig and wasn't a fan. Video… For what it's worth, I rolled with a bivvy that had similar collapsible poles for 12 years. Ask people you work with what they are using and see if you can try it out. The Mk5 is pretty large and meant to carry a bunch of shit, in contrast to the onward rig's purposeful simplicity with a minor amount of modularity. There you go, half the reason down. Buying directly from Platatac themselves will vary on shipping times since it’s international shipping all the way from Australia (or at least mine did). 257K subscribers in the tacticalgear community. I can't remember the brand, I think I bought it from platatac a couple of years ago for like $50. Picked up a Platatac VM-RG CAF, haven't seen much about them on the internet so I'm going to give it a try larping and I'll post a review. Video game, movie, and assorted mall ninja equipment posts will be removed. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. I'm a pretty easy sleeper so I just wanted something compact to keep my body from the ground. As for the R designation?

Looking at getting into Rucking; researching for a while now, reading plenty of studies, have read (and re-read) the Rucking 'Whitepaper' (OMG so much info) but looking for something decent here in Australia via recommendation please I doubt Onward used Platatac as inspiration. I have a pair of Crye pants that fit correctly in the waist, but just below at the pocket line they feel like they get tighter. And the mk5 was still wide on me and just very cumbersome. The pockets are basically unusable. It may get a facelift sometime soon. . Haven't lost them yet (that said, I've had a few scares where I couldn't find them), and it takes fuck-all time to take them out and stick them in a pouch (I used to jam them in with the sleeping bag). I like Platatac more because I had problems with the kneepads to begin with (Not quality-issues, didn't work well for my knees), however when I received my Platatac instead I was seriously impressed with the quality.

Mar 12, 2023 · BACKGROUND Before I begin this review it’s worth noting that I will be building largely on my previous views of the Platatac Peacekeeper Mk. It’s out of stock because… it’s popular. It is truly one of the finest chest rigs, stands up well to the light loads that make many rigs lopsided due to the elastic that hugs your torso, and has just enough padding and excellent load distribution through the harness for heavy loads. 4, an excellent piece of equipment that I’ve used for many years and did a pretty comprehensive review of. OPT is the only US distributor for Platatac. ;) The pads on the shoulders help tons. A company called rainbird used to do them but stopped some time back. Requirements: External frame (I’ve got a 1606 frame and straps I really like) 60-80L capacity Molle exterior to adapt capacity as needed Multicam The Platatac SMAC is also pretty decent in regard to good shoulder strap angle, however, it runs about half a size larger than advertised, so not good for skinnies.

May 23, 2022 · The Tigerstripe GBH-R is an evolution of Platatac’s older GBH and GBH-J range (Good Bush Hat/Jungle), and although the differences are minimal, it’s worth knowing what they are. And the fact that the mk5 wasn't a split front really bothered me as well, but only after trying out an Platatac makes fantastic gear and is worth it. lol After that, most other options are either more expensive or more overt, depending on what you want in that regard.

Sep 12, 2019 · So what makes the Platatac LW Silks Smock any different? In short, just about all the features I didn’t like in the Crye Windliner, and the one that I did.
