Alex (12 years Law Enforcement / 4 years SWAT) discusses all things plate carriers. The plate carriers in this video are the UARM FPC, the Crye JPC and the First Spear Strandhogg.
Watch until the end to see how his plate carrier is setup and to learn some quick tips on how to wear body armor.
UARM is super underrated. Their high cut is the best helmet under $1000 imo.
Agreed. They are a great company.
Pumping up intro, logical, easy to understand explanation, rational time length, slight taste of larry vickers presentation approach.
Pleasure to watch. Just a pinch of grizzly and i am all set
Thank you for the support and comment. It really helps us alot!
Alex
Strongly agree!
Funny what you stumble across from 2yrs ago.
Thanks for the insight.
Thanks for the comment and sorry about the delay Brian.
This is amazing. I first ordered a wrap but found it was way to complicated and this is what I should have got a long time ago. My baby is 3 months old and he loves it. If he is feeling needy I just put him in then I can clean the house, eat and walk and he just goes to sleep. He can breath good and I feel it is a safe successful carrier.
Thanks for the comment and support of our channel.
Amazed by how the market just exploded the past five years for these products.. personally i'm still running my old london bridge and i'm very happy with it.
Yeah there are many brands breaking into the market. Stick with what works for ya man.
I run a couple Shellback SF in ranger green with ATS triple shingle and ATS bleed pouch and I currently have ESAPIs in it with a 3A backer. Other one I use on duty is the Ferro Slickster with ADAPT Kangaroo pouch with triple 556 insert, standard elastic cummerbund, ferro shoulder pads, ferro admin pouch and it has NIJ lvl 4 in it with Trex Arms plate backer. I love how slim the ferro fits but I wouldn't trade my shell back I usually run it with my ATS Battle belt in ranger green but my ferro gets run with a TREX Orion, Esstac mag pouches dbl pistol and single AR, ATS compact dump pouch, HSGI Relex IFAK packed by yours truly, dbl mag pouch for flashlight and multi-colored from Tactical Tailor, Safariland UBL Mid with QLS and a NAR TQ mounted horizontal, My Safariland Holsters all have condition gray TQ straps all in Multicam because dammit I'm gonna look good since that is half the battle
I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Man that side shot of you shooting was awesome. You can see the unity mount and optic moving under recoil. It was pretty cool
Haha thanks man! Also thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. Little things like that help us grow.
I’m a big fan of the Agilite k19 plate carrier. Has the tube quick releases like the one in the video. But man, it is so comfortable!!! I can wear it all day with no problems, I forget I’m even wearing it. I could even sleep in it, it’s just so comfortable. Highly recommend the k19.
I've had multiple people recommend the K19. I gotta check it out. Thanks for the comment!
Alex
@@IronInfidel ...there is something about the way they designed the shoulder straps into the front and back that just distributes the weight really well. And the material they use is very rugged but super soft. Definitely check one out if you can. Also the integrated hydration pack and the assault pack Agilite makes, that attaches to their plate carriers, is great and works really well with the carrier.
Best channel on you tube! Your going to be huge!!
🙌🙌🙌
Just an FYI, near infrared (NIR) doesn’t have to do with thermal signature. The technology you were referring to is to mitigate excessive glow and contrast from the plate carrier’s fabric when being viewed through modern night vision devices.
Yes, that was my mistake. Someone else caught that as well. Thanks for the input and comment. I hope you enjoyed the video.
Alex
I’m running an hrt plate carrier. Really a solid option for the price. Much better than my military issued vests
I'm actually going to be trying out an hrt carrier here soon. Thanks for the comment!
@@IronInfidel just a heads up, you have to buy into the whole system. It’s hard to find a back panel that matches their double zipper system. No one else has that step up from what I’ve seen
im running a OLD Mayflower, that has been with me thru hell & back!! i am set im my ways & i DONT LIKE CHANGE!! prolly not the best way to be with everyone coming out with bigger & better, BUT it has worked all these years & hasnt let me down, so im stayin with it TILL????
thanks for sharing with us & keep up the good work!! just subscribed
Stick with what works for you man. I'm glad to hear you enjoy our content and I appreciate the comment/support! More coming soon!
Alex
Loved the First Spear setup hate my law enforcement carrier but moved over to Prime Armor made locally in my state. Good info and hope your channel booms.
Yeah the First Spear is a very good carrier. Thanks for the comment and support. Means alot, especially during the infancy stage of this profile.
Your videos are kicking ass bro.
Thanks man! We are trying to make our content better with each video!
@@IronInfidel great sound and video quality and great content! Keep it up
seriously this video is awesome !! one of the best vid.
everything is perfect 💯💯
That really is awesome to hear. Thank you for letting me know your opinion. More coming soon.
@@IronInfidel and a follow on insta .. must follow u 💯💯💯
keep it up 🔥🔥
About fucking time. Theres more gear out there that needs to be reviewed
haha well we have more gear reviews coming man. Thanks for the comment.
I have a pretty unique set up and btw I’m a basic joe no LE or military experience:
Plate carrier- 5.11 tactec with nothing on the plate carrier itself except lvl 4 plates.
Belt- blue alpha gear 1.75in Molle double belt rig with holster on right hip, starting on left from crotch to rear goes double pistol mag pouch, light dump pouch, then 2 ar mag pouches.
Main firearm - Sig MPX 4.5 in barrel with flashlight that’s it keep it light weight
Pistol- Canik TP9SF no attachments
Love the guns I shoot well with both any tips or recommendations feel free to add or comment on!
Awesome man, thanks for the comment. Sounds like you are happy with your setup...so i'd stick with it and make micro adjustments as needed.
Thin shoulder straps are great until you run Level IV Plates. Personally the two carriers I've had good luck with are the LBT Modular Plate Carrier and the Agilite K19. The difference between the two is really if you want 9.5x12.5 plates or 8x10 plates.
I keep hearing talk about the Agilite K19. I really need to try one out. Thanks for the comment 👍
Alex
Love the channel. I’d like to see a video on your vehicle. What you typically carry in it and any mods you’ve done to it
Thank you! I could definitely see making a video like that in the near future.
Perfect video , great job man! Really enjoying your content.
Blessings from South Africa.
Thanks William! I'm glad you enjoyed our video. Also thanks for the comment, it really does help us grow!
Great content, thank you. The Agilite K19 is super comfortable for all day even in Florida heat, it's got the tube system, Esstac kywi on the front with AXL AVP adaptor.
Sounds like a solid setup. I still need to check out the K19. Thanks for the comment Steve.
Sick channel, this and executive outcomes are criminally underrated. Although your more informative haha
Thank you man! I really do appreciate your comment and support. We are glad you enjoy the content and hopefully we continue to grow!
Alex
Love the longer vids!
Awesome. We are trying to push out 1 video a week. Thanks for the comment!
Great analysis and explanation of pros/cons. Thanks man!
Thanks for watching the channel watching.
I am in the process of setting up a AR500 Veritas carrier. Yes. Budget. But it works for me. Really dig your videos, man! Fitness and firearms training is my thing as well! 💪🏼
Thanks man. Yeah stay within the budget and make it work. I appreciate you support. More fitness and firearms stuff coming your way soon.
@@IronInfidel Thanks so much for the reply. Being such a tiny channel, it feels awesome to get a response from the big dawgs!
lots of great information, can't wait to see more of this channel! I do think it would be great for you to include the plate carriers in the frame when you are talking about them, there was many times were a few times you talked about your set ups and patted a carrier, but we couldn't see what you were talking about.
Thank you for the support and comment man. It really does help us. Yeah I agree with your assessment. It's a learning process haha
@@IronInfidel I just realized how bad I structured my second sentence ha! No problem, Overall it was very professional!
Your video production is way better than your subscriber count would suggest, good job. Question, how would you define the first spear siege r optimized, is it a plate carrier? I'm in the market for armor and i'm looking into both the siege and the stranddhog
Thanks for the comment man. Yeah we are trying to grow and produce good content. Regarding your question, the Siege is cut like a standard load bearing vest. It is designed specifically around soft body armor, but it is my understanding that you can add hard plates in addition to the soft armor. A plate carrier like the UARM or JPC is cut specifically to fit hard ballistic plates. Keep in mind I don't have a Seige, but that is my basic understanding of that carrier.
Awesome content brother! I really don't mind longer vids.
Thank you man I appreciate the comment and support!
Awesome because he made it long just for you.
I noticed in some of your newer videos you are no longer running the UARM setup. Did you run into issues or did you find something you prefer over it? I had been seeing UARM carriers online but haven't heard much in the way of reviews. I just want to make sure they are a solid product and durable.
Nice to see no reply.
Thanks for watching. We truly appreciate it.
Thanks for all info all of your videos are to the point and very informative thanks bro
You bet brother. More content coming soon. Your comments help, so thank you!
Right now I'm using an original banshee from shellback tactical with RMA level IV ceramic plates but I just purchased a T3 tomahawk low vis and a placard system from Defense Mechanisms.
Awesome man. I'll be getting the HRT RAC system soon for some testing. Alot of solid products available.
@@IronInfidel
If I decide I don't like the T3 I'm gonna go for the defense mechanisms MEPC. Those guys are doing some amazing stuff.
Have a crye 2.0 and gave that up for the agilite k-19 which i love
Nice, I'll have to check that one out. Looks solid.
I like the tubes like you do on the carrier
Nice I just ordered a new one from overwatch group but I will say this will be possibly another set up looks solid
@@andrews6639 I have the jpc I ran it in the army as well. I love it. What are the benefits in your opinion for the K19 over the JPC?
@@don8659 more padding in the shoulder straps, and uses the tubes system that Iron showed. Quicker, easier to get out, and no Velcro to wear out. I also molli in the same AR magazine pouches i have on my belt on my chest not too. I first thought having the tubes system close to my shoulder pocket would get in the way. But, it didn’t just collapsed my but-stock one position in and shot a class for 7hrs doing transitions from shoulder to shoulder and was awesome.
Great video. Loving my Strandhogg but may consider the Hesco plates
Hesco plates are great. I just bought a second set. Thanks for the comment!
FYI, hesco l210 plates are ceramic composite, not poly. Love the channel!
I stand corrected. Thank you for the input and I appreciate your support.
Best regards,
Alex
Ceramic and fiberglss
Great video, thanks for posting. My team is researching and trying to pick a plate carrier to transition to from heavy vests. We’ll look into these. Are you still active on SWAT?
Thank you man. I went from full time to reserve in August of this year (to pursue this business). I am working with the city to get back on the team, but under the reserve status. It's taking awhile because the city has never done that before.
Haley strategic has the "hitch hiker" specifically for use with the flat pack that completely solves the problem with not being able to access the pack by yourself. It's only like $18 dollars. Totally worth it
Thank you I appreciate you watching .
That's the highest rdo mount I've ever seen in my life.
It is a Unity Fast Mount (2.26). The height allows you to more easily acquire a site picture under Nods or while wearing a gas mask. Best regards,
Alex
I was thinking the same thing
@@IronInfidel thanks for replying
@@IronInfidel It works for you and that's what matters. But yeah it looks a bit much
Funny thing is, we went away from Mounting red dots to carry handles, and now we're back at the same height, or higher. Lol
That's why I prefer velcro cuz come different weather times you don't have to adjust it 4 times a year being in the midwest you have more give when wearing at shirt then go to wearing a jacket
Yeah I could see how given your climate, the constant switching could be an issue. Thanks for the input man. Best regards,
Alex
Good content and explanation. Hope you take off on YT man. Now, my gripes with the tactical world as of late, when the hell did everybody start carrying
Thank you for the support man, I appreciate it. Yeah I think context is a huge factor. I am not MIL, so 90 rounds should be more than enough in a LE capacity, but on the other hand if I was infantry going on a patrol with an unknown amount of adversaries, i'd want much more.
First plate carrier was IOTV in Afghanistan then the unit gave us Tactical Tailor Fight Light Plate Carrier. It is comfortable, but if I had a choice, I would have went with something else. I'm not a huge fan of the buckles. I did like the side plate pouches that came with it because I can bring it up higher to actually try and give my vital organs (mainly heart) better protection. IOTV in 130+ heat = no fun. LOL
haha yeah 130 degree heat in any kit sounds brutal. Thanks for the comment man.
Bro do you even have good blood circulation?😂 love the content. High quality videography! Keep it up!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
haha thanks man! I genuinely appreciate your support and comment. It helps us out a ton.
What size are your plates if I may ask? First time seeing any of your videos. Great video looking forward to seeing more.
Thank you Derik! I have medium plates, but L210's run pretty small. I need to size up.
@@IronInfidel thank you I appreciate it. Stay safe!
Hey Iron, what is acceptable when it comes to the drop of the back plate carrier? Every PC I try the back always seem to hang to low. The Front will good, but the damn back. I constantly have to yank the back up. I tried every thing. Any ideas or help you can offer?
I am a little late to the party on this but have you checked out the first spear AAC? Fits the light weight bill, thin straps and has the option of an instant adjust cumberbund and a front panel with pouches already built in plus the radio pocket in the cumberbund.
Thank you I appreciate you watching .
Qore performance plate carriers looks pretty good
Thank you I appreciate you watching .
Good info. Love the set up!
Thanks for watching the channel watching.
Thanks for watching the channel watching.
Looks like a new channel. Like what I'm seeing so far. Looking forward to seeing more content.
Glad to hear that! Thank you for the support and the comment. I hope you continue to enjoy the upcoming content.
If your looking to donate a Carrier...I’d be more than happy to accept....keep doing what your doing!💪🏼
Haha I'll keep that in mind man. Thank you for the comment and support 🙌
Good video! I personally run a k19 but looking to go with a velocity systems Mayflower.
Awesome man. I had the mayflower for a couple years actually.
Greetings from Japan!!! I got a ton of young airsoft dudes in Tokyo watcing Iron Infidel!! We envy your freedoms! We cannot own such things as guns and military grade armor. Wow so cool!
@@laturista1000 Thank you for the support! That is so awesome to hear we are getting support all the way in Japan. I genuinely appreciate you.
Running a condor opperater plate. Call it my Franken plate carrier couse its alot of diffrent components from diffrent places
All that matters is if it works for you..thanks for the comment and support!
As for those quick releases, i already broke one with some weird pulling motion, so i think cobra buckles is way to go
Old comment but my guess is you pulled it in a direction that it's not meant to break in, they have certain directions specifically to pull and it shouldn't fight you so if it did that's the reason it broke.
I truly appreciate you watching.
good stuff and information. I like the happy medium size too. Have you try the Agilite K19 plate carrier ? It has a tube system too. Its pretty comfortable fit.
Thanks for the comment. Actually no i've never tried it. I'll have to check it out.
Appreciate the info
Thank you for the continued comments and support Michael...You are the man.
Alex
Not sure why but..... I was flexing during the video
🤣🤣
Friendly suggestion, next time don't worry about the length of the video and just talk about everything you want to cover. I was wanting to know the major differences between the one you carry now and what you used to carry. All of those carriers are some of the best, I tuned in for you to go over what made you go from one to the other to the other. If you are worried about wasting people's time, make a longer video and put time stamps in so people can hop to the content they want to see.
Copy that. I appreciate your input. It's a learning process and I'm always open to suggestions. Especially when approached in a respectful manner like you do. I appreciate it.
Alex
This is the way
You are the man..bottom line. I can't thank you enough.
Can you do a video on battle belt/war belt setup?
Absolutely. I'll need a couple weeks, but i'll make it happen soon!
cool thanks!
What's your opinion on the Scarab LT?? I'm trying to find a quality carrier that will carry XL plates....
Thank you I appreciate you watching .
Great video !
Thank you I appreciate you watching .
how does this guy only have 3 thousand subs
I appreciate the comment and support. My hope is we see some growth here soon...in the meantime, welcome to the channel and thanks for being one of the early subscribers.
no problem. love from ireland
BCM all the waaaaaay!
You said it man. Agreed
NIR means is NOT going to glow under NODs compared to cheaper fabrics.
Yeah that was pointed out by someone else aswell. I stand corrected, thanks for the comment.
Do you recommend running buis on a duty rifle that has an AimPoint T-2?
Yeah if you have the space to do so. I don't have them on mine because the Unity mount for my T2 has built in BUIS. Thanks for the comment!
Alex
Can you get just the front placard from UARM, or do you have to buy the whole chest rig? I am wanting to switch out placards depending on what I am doing.
I truly appreciate you watching.
Planned on buying a Siege R-Optimized for duty, what do you think about it ?
@Noa B I intend to use hard plates in conjunction with soft armor
@Noa B My plates are ESAPI lvl 4, would they fit comfortably in it ?
@Noa B Thank you for the info. I'm planning on buying the full MASS kit for the Siege-R Optimized for when the situation requires some extra protection
@Noa B And one more thing, I heared there is a problem with the size of the shoulder straps, some guys complaining they are too big, should I buy separate shoulder straps a size smaller ?
Thanks for watching the channel watching.
That red dot higher than Chong.
It is on a Unity Mount (2.26). It is good for use with a gas mask or under nods. Thanks for the comment.
New Subscriber here. Stoked to see someone using UARM. Any thoughts on their Silicon Carbide Sapi plates?
Thanks for watching.
At the moment I’m running Shellback level 4
I truly appreciate you watching.
How tall are you and what size plates do you use?
those are standard 10x12
If you already have more plate carriers than you need can you give me one? can't find much in stock
Haha I'll keep you in mind 😉
Damn that optic mount hella high lol
haha yeah its 2.26". It is a Unity Fast Mount and it is great for use with NODS or a gas mask.
@@IronInfidel will look into that
Can you send a link out to the plate that your talking about to purchase
I truly appreciate you watching.
I have to ask, your department is ok with those plates?? You did say your active right? Or did I mishear have Lol
Thank you I appreciate you watching .
IF, IF SHIT, or EOTWAWNI Happens I'm looking at upper leg pelvic shots. If I see armor that's my go to.
Thank you I appreciate you watching .
Why only 2 mag pouches instead of 3?
I have two on my plate carrier and one on my belt. For my context 120 Rds (mag in rifle) should be enough. For a military member it may be a different story.
What do you keep in your Haley flat pack?
I truly appreciate you watching.
God bless America
Amen 🙏

Special Weapons and Tactics don't use UARMs
You know what gear every single SWAT team uses? Also he WAS on a SWAT team
@@TacticalTrainer223 UARMs is Ukrainian Armor and I am not saying it's bad but it's not the most prefered at all, you'll hardly even see Ukrainian combatants even use them. Not even Ukrainian DBR uses them
@@pyro4894 okay, I’m sure you’re right about that. But you didn’t answer my question, nor did you acknowledge the statement that followed
