Allen428 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Was going to buy a warrior dcs but then seen the recon on the website and now I’m torn which one to get. Any one got any experience with them or owned both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wo1f Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I have the recon and I’m very happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had my heart set on the dcs but I’m swaying towards the recon now, especially as I run a belt with my pistol, mags, smoke etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GothicGhost Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I'm saving up now for the recon one Just looks nicer getting in and out with the clips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MILITATED Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Bit of feedback on the DCS: Whilst it is an amazing carrier and built to amazing standards, it is damn bulky. The front and rear profiles are fine actually, but it is just large around the sides. This is probably what you would find with most plate carriers though - they are there to hold plates to protect you rather than being a fashion statement BUUUUT as this is airsoft and I have yet to hear of 7.62 BBs, we can just use them to look cool as we do not actually require the protection. The recon is much more compact, lighter and just generally looks like an awesome bit of kit. I would suggest the recon between the two, every time.

Albiscuit Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Seconded, the DCS feels like a big heavy jacket. Feels padded as feck, I dont like wearing it at all, only run it as I have no other black rig and sometimes need the extra space for mags etc. Should have got the recon...

I contacted Warrior asking if they had a black recon in the works and to my absolute surprise, they said they do indeed! However, they did not give me a date, they just said "soon". I asked them about a week ago so it is fairly recent news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt spend that type of money on it though, im happy and cheap enough to make do with an el-cheapo version if I decide to change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen428 Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 Thanks for or the replies, I’ve ordered the recon as it looks more streamlined and not as bulky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukeB Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I bought a tan recon in Jan with the pathfinder chest rig. Glad I picked it over the DCS, much easier to get on and off between short CQB games. In hindsight I wish I'd waited for the new OD green colour.

TMC Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 You can put an aftermarket cummerbund on the DCS however, such as the Ferro Concepts Elastic Carry Cummerbund or Blue Force Gear LMAC which greatly reduces the profile of the rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
