Warrior Assault Systems - DCS vs Recon Plate Carrier
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- The DCS (Dynamic Combat System) is a lightweight armour carrier, with removable sides. Can hold Nexus Soft Armour Front and Back and in adjustable side pouches,is also capable of holding large ballistic plates front and back, and 6 x 8 side plates.
The DCS is fully adjustable for height and width, comes with 3D Spacer mesh lining for cooling and comfort.
The DCS can be be worn in tandem with the Warrior Frag Belt (sold separately).
The Recon is the latest evolution of plate carriers from Warrior Assault Systems. Designed to be a lightweight and versatile low profile armour carrier, offering enhanced mobility without compromising protection.
The RPC has been developed to hold medium and large SAPI and ESAPI stand alone plates and the most common 10” x 12“ I.C.W. plates available. Plate pockets have been backed with 3D mesh for added ballistic performance, comfort and dispersal of body heat. The Recon Plate Carrier comes standard with ladder style cummerbunds that attach to the RPCs front via 2 removable ITW SR Clips. This allows rapid access when getting in and out of the RPC (ITW SR Clips have a combined breaking strength of 600lbs per side). The RPCs shoulders can be worn in 3 different configurations as a slick low profile with the addition of velcro padded shoulders and wrap around sleeve for hydration and comms channeling.
The RPC comes as standard with a removable MOLLE front flap held in place by 2 vertical SQM clips and strong velcro which allows the panel to be removed and replaced with a wide variety of preconfigured weapon-specific pouch panels and Warrior’s new Pathfinder Chest Rig. The RPC integrates with Warrior’s new Back Panel

We got 2023 and I will get it soon to the Warrior Recon. I still love all of your videos.
Got the DCS, have had it for a bit over a year now. Currently getting the Recon and i can't wait to try it out! Warrior do make some solid kits!
+RandomTrashy Will do buddy! :)
One of the best videos on these vests I've seen. Cheers from West Virginia in the States.
2022 Just got the recon, it is solid the open sides are still load carrying stiff so dont sweat that, the buckles are very positive ,crazy good value,
Crazy good value
Basically, the Recon plate carrier is Warrior's version of the Crye Precision JPC (Jumpable Plate Carrier)
Fakers the recon is about 2/3 of the price of the JPC though.
@@user-ns3vs3bp3e jpc World totaly different, only because they are both Minimalistisc doesnt Make one a nock off.
Kevin I didn’t say it was a knock off, just pointed out it was cheaper. If anything I was positive about the recon
Thanks for helping me make my mind up, I think I'll go for the DCS and maybe look at a recon one later on
Lovely Otala patch! you got me choosing the DCS. thank you for the very informative video!
You timed this perfectly with the sale. Great video.
These are apparently used by the SAS and are absolutely brilliant! If that’s true then the regs should have gone with this instead of Virtus.
They have been used by many many forces !
I like the idea of the DCS, the side panels is like having a steel ribcage. Totally badass.
Between a plate carrier and a rifle, one must really feel like nothing can threaten them.
excited to get my Recon version!! thank you for the review bro
Another cool video. I just got the Warrior RICAS compact, waiting for pouches. Great vests.
I love plate carriers, are just cool.
I love my DCS plate carrier. I bought it some time ago when I was in United States. Sadly, it isn't easy to buy one when you're living in Chile, due to WAS has no retailers in South America (actually, I've been thinking in become one). Anyway, I have been using it for some time and it's amazing, really confortable even when you're wearing all the level IV ballistic plates. I'm using it together with a Belt similar to Warrior Frag Belt.
The recon has also got a variety of back plates with pouches and there’s a drop-down pouch which can go under the vest at the front, so you can get a shit loads of kit on all you’ll ever need especially if you then have webbing/body armour, and again really good quality kit. I use allot of it an no not for airsoft I use mine for in the field and range days.
Cracking video, convinced me to go for the recon and its such a high quality item. Subbed.
I've got the Warrior Assault Systems Raptor and the Shooters Cut. Both great vests!
This is probably the best, most well rounded review I’ve seen on UA-cam 😂
Thanks mate !
Great reviews did a very good job showing the vests thank you.
Just ordered the Warrior DCS carrier with 2 AR 500 lvl 3+ Light weight amour shooters cut, and padding. $540.00 shipped. Wait time is 17 weeks...damn
My Warrior DCS carrier and lvl 3 plus lightweight ASC plates came in today...after 8 weeks. That's nine weeks earlier than what was expected. Everything looks and feels like quality.
I'm getting ready to order from there shortly. Thanks for update.
yikes!!!
Do you still use it?
I rne 3+ from steel ops in my DCS jusst took a 2 day 1000 rd rifle class with it held up great and and very Comfortable if you guys want to upgrade check out PIG pontoons and shoulder pads
thank you! Great video , great work.
I definitely need to find this used somewhere.
Great video Trash! Ordered my DCS-R multicam and Reconplate in Coyote both from UK Tact. (Mentioned i found there site true you, but to bad no discount :()
Keep up the Nice work!
if you ever have a event in Belgium be sure to let us know :)
RandomTrashy I'm 50 kliks from the capital, little place called Hannut.
There are some sites here around, but nothing MilSim like
Cheers Bro
I love your vids man keep up the great work
Good review. Thanks!
Thanks for the review
Great video, definitely subscribing for more! I'm still unsure as to what plate carrier i want lol but after this comparison i'm definitely leaning towards the recon!
***** yeah and with Uk tactical 25% off sale now would be the time for me to get one lol. its just a shame there all out of stock.
***** Ill be sure to do that! Cheers
***** Thats me ordered a DCS low profile set up in OD. Thanks for the great review/comparison!
***** Cheers!
Great review worth a watch.
Thanks mate
Great channel, Great video :D
Great Video random. Thank you.
Brilliant very well explained nice one
Thanks very much
Interesting set up. Where do you put your bayonet? I have a SA80 bayonet. It's loose in its frog,when the frog is in the new sheath,it's hard to take out the frog. So now I just have bayonet on different sheath. I like to have a real bayonet set up. Ideas? You seem to know a lot. Thanks
my biggest concern is shouldering your rifle. It looks like the recon is less intrusive in the shoulder area. Is this accurate?
Awesome video quick question what is that single point sling on your vest

Do any of these come with foam inserts?
great video dude :) quick question what is your single point sling on your recon plate carrier?
What size are these PCs? What's the size differences between the medium and large from Warrior Assault Systems, i.e. Cummerbund, etc. great review! Thanks!
Can you run side plates on the recon?
I like the recon, a lot
RT do you know if they will come out with a ranger green in the recon anytime soon
Would you recommend the DCS if I want a plate carrier that's good and won't have to buy another for a while?
Can you do a video on how to setup the quick release system?
No I no longer have it
I am 5'11'' about 200lbs. How tight fitting is the Recon carrier? I prefer tighter fitting kits and was just curious about the sizing and the adjustability.
what kind of mag pouches are the two double stacks on the Recon?
This carriers look awesome 👏🏾 better than any I have seen I might have to got this these. I like the recon carrier. Hey trashy would you think these are better than condor 👍🏽👌🏽
l have dcs -best plate carier,ukrainian soldier
Hello, how would you compare the Recon Plate Carrier vs the Shooters Cut? Is the latter just a lighter version?
I'm an ultra skinny guy, I'm 1m75 (5'7) and only weigh about 53 kilo's (117 pounds). The DCS doesn't fit me at all on the smallest setting. Is there any chance that the recon will fit me?
Great review RT! Have you ever tried the Sabre leg rig? Very curious about it. For CQB or just additional mags for milsim.
+RandomTrashy Thanks for the reply! It's what I like about your channel! Looking forward to the next review.
I cant decide between these or Agilite
Hey - was wondering what mag pouches you have on the recon - the ones that look to be stacked on top of each other - I wanna get enough for 6 mags ( so 3 of them if they're individual? ) so that way I have extra space for a 7th and 8th on each side to hold while they aren't in the mag well. I'm also looking at getting the redi mag as well, to hold both 7 and 8 mags --- anyways! Yea - which mag pouches are those lol
Awesome! thank you! (channel switch lol)
Have you ever had the chance to check out the WAS Raptor, I'm still on the fence all their gear seems so good, spoiled for choice :)
Cheers for the reply mate, I've heard nothing but good things about WAS and their quality, I've just subscribed to UKTactical so hopefully get a coupon at some point and pick up one of their armour carriers
1 love the concept and the way it's very modular I tried calling a company in the US to see if I can order extra Front panels with Velcro so I can set up different rigs....
they told me they do not offer them....
Do you have any suggestions
John O'Brien buy another off the website or a prebuilt rig
What do you think of Engarde body armor?
Great Video! Can you tell me where to buy extra front panels for the recon? best regards
Uktactical sells extra ones
trashy the warrior recon plate carrier does it come in O/D as i run atac fg and i dont like either tan or mtp? keep u the good work buddy and do you think you could over dose on airsoft and stop enjoying the ride
Hi quick question on the RPC just looked on the UK tactical website and on the DCS tab it said warrior hard armour pouches is there anything coming out along the same lines for the Recon Plate Carrier?
What size are they? Bought the recon in medium. And it feels so small compared to other west's. Would love to see it on you tho.
Dont have either of them anymore sorry - Please make sure if you are subscribed you click the bell icon -Lots of live content coming soon !!
@@RandomTrashy "i keep both" lol
what bladder do you use in your hydration carrier??
Are the pouches on the front removable if you want other pouches
do you have any combat experience?
Dose shopping during the pandemic count ?
@@RandomTrashy to an extent lol
Hello sir I’m looking on chase tactical and the recon isn’t there do you know where I can find it?
Look at Warrior Assault Systems !
I have a dcs and personally find the shoulder straps too big, gonna try the rpc, it looks like a jpc, but alot cheaper, which is great :D
+RandomTrashy well in terms of how big I am, the plate shoulder straps won't go short enough, and the front and back plate themselves are ever so slightly too wide, from the video, the rpc looks narrower, and seems to have shorter shoulder straps
how about the buckle clips, if they take a BB ??? prob gonna breake
Milspec
I know this is a older video but what thickness plates will these two carriers hold
Pass
can the recon integrate with the haley strategic chest rig?
+RandomTrashy I'm really digging that rig, it's either gonna be that or the fcpc
By slightly wider, do you mean the panel itself? But the male/female clips for the D3 chest rig and this Recon plate carrier align exactly? Thanks man!
Sir do you stil have those vest?
Which plate carrier would be best for a smaller person ?
+RandomTrashy I am wondering this same question. I am buying a carrier for both real world training/plate use and airsoft. I am going to keep my plates in during games to condition my body to wearing them. My problem is I have ar500.com ar500 10''x 12'' ACS plates which are only .26'' thick. I am worried about them having forward to rear movement since they arent as thick as SAPI plates. I am 5'5'' 125# and I wear a size 30 pants. I love the recon and its slimness if you will but I want a cummberbund, gosh its hard. As I said Im getting for real world training as well and being small is an issue. I am not young (28) just a smaller frame guy. I have also looked at the LBT 6094, LBX Armatus, Shellback Tactical Banshee, AWS inch Operators Choice, Mayflower APC, and 1 or two others. I guess being small I want a slim'ish profile that still has a cummberbund, and quality features as these do. If the Recon has a cummberbund this wouldnt even be a discussion. Any ideas or help brother? Thank you for your time and sorry t he long msg. Great vids!
what sling is that on the recon
the recon looks really good though i wish it came in black though
please let me know how that turns out and i may do the same
is the dcs one sizw fits all
yea they used to do 2 cummerbund sizes - Don't forget to subscribe for more content !! # THG
Can i use the DCS with the Gunfighter belt ?
I would rather have the buckle over Velcro but I need the side plates.
What would you prefer at the end, dcs or recon?
Aight thanks bud! i'll check that video out
What about the Raptor vest?
They don't have anything on the Agilite K5.
Is it compatible with for example a d3cr?
No
Anyone else see the jpc 6094 connection/differnces
Do these plate carriers differ much in height?
RandomTrashy thanks!
how much is one ive just started airsoft
100+ but well worth it
What is better for you recon or dcs
+RandomTrashy When are the Giveaway results bcause i love thr carrier. 😍
I'm torn between DCS and Shellback Banshee. Need heeeeeelp..
+RandomTrashy just took the advantage of uk tactical 20% sale and got the 5.56 version and the universal hoister. $280 cad shipped. There was a survey after placing the order asking where I found out uk tactical, I basically just spammed random trashy like 20 times lol. I'm so pumped, the warrior universal pistol hoister is really universal right?
+RandomTrashy just not sure how long it will take them to ship since I'm in Canada. And not responding emails too but I assume they are busy as heck at the moment
+RandomTrashy and more videos pls I love all of your videos. Tbh I would like your thoughts on HPA setups, I always wanted to get in the HPA world.
Banshee rifle plate carrier by shellback Tactical.
it's an awesome plate carrier very useful very high speed
What patches are those?
Last time i wanted to order on uktactical, the paypal didnt work.... paypal didnt let me pay on uktactical and because i dont have any credit cards, that sucks! So i had to look at shops in my country, but they dont have the stock like uktactical....
