Any decent plate carriers sub £100?

[Albiscuit]

Just wondered if anyone knows any gems of a plate carrier as far under 100 quid as possible? have to be Molle and Green, either Ranger Green or OD??

 

Want to build a green set up on a budget. Thanks

Just over your budget but you get a battle belt too

One for 35 quid, and you get a lot of molle pouches with it too (probably be just under forty quid with postage, stuff typically takes about a week or so to get to the UK when ordering from that site):

For less than a hundred quid you'll be hard pressed to find something 'decent', there is serviceable stuff to be had in that price bracket though.

 

I bought one of the carriers chock linked when I first started, my advice is to avoid like the plague. They're beyond garbage, wonky molle, loose stitching, shiny nylon, adjustment holes are just circles burned into the straps.

 

TMC and Flyye do some really quite nicely made stuff for a reasonable budget. I'd look into 6094 style carriers as they're fairly ubiquitous and easy to adjust without complete disassembly. Flyye make a very nice 6094, the TMC 6094 slick with assault panel is also quite nice for the price.

 

EBairsoft are a halfway decent place to go for TMC items, though it'll take a while for them to ship, if you're in a hurry I'd recommend the flyye 6094a.

You can get a surplus Osprey Mk 4 (british army issue) for 60 quid, if you dont mind MTP

Real deal quality (far and away above most of the chinese made airsoft kit), £25 under budget. If you really need the extra capacity you can add side panels later on down the line.

[jcheeseright]

Osprey is wank though, certainly if I were getting shot at with real bullets the coverage it provides would be welcome but for airsoft it's just not all that good an option.

 

CKinnerley's suggestion for the tactical tailor plate carrier is right on the money, I had no idea they made a basic plate carrier for that little money. Nothing you'll be able to get from China will come close tactical tailor in quality.

Flyye Gen 1 FAPCs are 70 quid

Under that I'd say Condor ones

I just got a Condor Exo - cracking plate carrier.

Anyone have any opinions on this.... http://www.military1st.co.uk/201042-001-condor-sentry-lightweight-plate-carrier-olive-drab.html

 

Is it really too good to be true? I will be using it once a month so dont need top dollar quality but Condor seems a decent brand..

Itl be fine for airsoft although as it has no cummerbund you will be limited to what you can carry as you only have upfront and rear Molle.

[Albiscuit]

Sorry, really being stupid here... Is it not Molle all the way around? and what do you mean cummeurbund?

 

 

 

Ah are you refering to lack of side Molle?

[Albiscuit]

This one looks more the part. and I think its certainly worth the extra for the sides and the better look..

Well no, you can see from the pic that its only front and rear. Below is a cummerbund. Its part of the plate carrier that holds side armour and gives you molle space on your sides.

 

Edit: Yeah if you look at the second reply to this topic you will see thats the one I linked you

 

[Albiscuit]

Right you are, missed that one... Will order that one. Doubt I will find better for cheaper and it looks good enough so shall bag!! now to find pouches lol

Reference condor, people give it a bad rap because a lot of airsofters use it, but it's made in the US and berry compliant. That alone puts it a jump ahead of quite a lot of the clone gear.

[Albiscuit]

Was going to order a whole rig last night but my car is fooked so may need to save the cash for that..
