sonofsammo Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I was extraordinarily excited to receive the WAS DCS DA kit. Until, that is, I put it on. I look like a frigging militarised TellyTubby. The PC doesn't do everything I wanted it to. Yes, it gives me somewhere to carry stuff. Yes it covers some of my torso. BUT it doesn't cover the only bit of my torso I actually wanted covering - the spare tyre. I'm after something that a) I can attach molle pouches to and b) That covers my torso down to the waist/hips I like the vest used by Frank Castle in Ep11 of the new Punisher series, but I don't think it had any molle. But something like that would be grand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Druid799 Posted September 26, 2018 Supporters Share Posted September 26, 2018 Unfortunately bud as you also have the more ‘manly physique’ as many of us do shit like this just ain’t made to fit our body shape and to be fair it’s aimed at guys a lot younger AND thinner (I won’t say fitter as I may be a fat barstuard but I can still run rings around a fair few of the youngsters at my site , no stamina them lot !)than us 😱😇 Would think your options are either drop the shoulder straps as much as you can or have you thought about chest rig sort of kit ? Something like this perhaps. http://www.taiwangun.com/en/chest-rigs/tactical-rifleman-chest-rig-black-8fields Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper780 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 What about a Fort Defender 2 Molle like the product image shows on here http://www.bunnyworkshop.com.hk/airsoft/IRT_Defender_2_MOLLE_straight looks like it may fit your needs there's also this https://grey-shop.ru/armor/Original-bodyarmor/defender-2-stichprofi if that of any use to you.

mcwimbo Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Ferro danger pouch attached to the bottom of the carrier, covers the wobbly bits for me. Problem is, your plate carrier is actually covering the bits it should and is designed to cover Heart, lungs, liver etc. You may be better off with a more generic armour type, like an osprey or IBA etc. Modern plate carriers are designed to stop a critical hit often sacrificing abdo cover for mobility etc, try working in and out of a vehicle in full armour and you'll soon see why. It's a toughy but the dangler pouch has saved my podge more than once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lokai Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I feel your pain been a similar build to yourself I suffer in the spare tyre region, i come away from Killhouse with some right bruises on the stomach, love handles !! I don't mind getting shot etc but it really is nasty in this area! Best I've found is the condor gunner vest it's very adjustable but still not perfect, only thing I can think of is attaching a battle belt to bottom of it but reversed, like the below - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshOnSnow Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Go with a Viper Elite and a battle belt combo. The elite is actually well made and holds heavyweight mags on front, hydration bladder on back, and full weight NIJ4 sim front SAPI (haven’t tried osprey but it might work) back SAPI and side plates 6x6” with ease. Wouldn’t have a problem walking into a war zone with it. Combine it with a battle belt, and nobody will notice the cheeky extra pizza here and there.

powlimo Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 If you want to cover a more bit of your body then browse some tactical vests. Some of them are adjustable according to the person size, http://www.reviewwind.com/best-tactical-vests/ The UTG 547 model looks interesting with multiple pockets and the size is also good for a big man.
