I love the thought process here. At the start of the video I couldn't believe you never actually produced these, and by the end of the video I realized it's probably unnecessary.
More of these videos. The design process for new things is something that most companies never touch on which makes it hard first consumers to understand why something is or isn’t a certain way. Very informative and educational.
Idea. have a kit builder in a similar style as the holster builder and have the option of assembly (with or without fee) so its kinda a one and done solution as you were mentioning earlier. it would be a place to mod the quad flap a little, build a micro rig with the triple flap or the esstac placards and build out an AC1. Just handing out ideas cuz why not. Also vids like this are amazing
i love the Med-H any way to make an insert to separate a carry gun (g43x, maybe g19) from the rest of the medical? maybe just an insert with double loop on both insides so we can velcro a holster into it? it may be too bulky, but maybe an option for the future?
What ever happened to that holster hanger dangler thing, that allowed you to hang a holster beneath your plate carrier? I’d love to see a video of what happened to that product. Thanks!
For anyone who has the TREX Mag placcard, have you tried thinner mags like big stick glock mags, MP5, ect. ? Was thinking of getting this for my rifle and vector, but want to make sure large glock mags wont flap about.
Can you use a stitch remover on the inside of the med h and change the 4 loops into 2 larger ones to store more tourniquets? Would it have enough tension on the loops and can you fit 4 offset inside the bag? Do that on both side and you have 4 tourniquets storage and immediate 5th at bottom of the bag. It would think that would make for a nice quick response mass casualty event bag.
absolutely love this style of video, hearing and seeing your thought process out loud shows that youre not just copy pasting, or even explaining to consumers the how and why to use your awesome products!
i love trex ive got many of their products, however i i have yet to find anything that can beat the Roll1 from ferro concepts in terms of IFAK containment pouches.
I respect the product research, and all the thought and consideration that goes into your product development. I feel that users would want more of the modular setup than multiple items permanently together. The dangler item has many different specific uses and people might want to be able to either change them out or not many people would want the one single dangler that you would sell, already attached. I am a fan of modular and multiple use items.
half the weight of a normal dangler is just the velcro attachment panel, and it always bugged me that they kick out the bottom of your placard a lil and angle your mags to make pulling them out just a little more troublesome. having the dangler built-in means you get all the utility with less weight, and it doesn't affect how your placard sits. i like the idea of having one there, even if it's just like one of those basic dump pouches that folds up real small, but you deploy if you have to carry unexpected stuff. seems like a good value add.
Love hearing the thoughts behind design. I think it is very important for progression to have that, allowing for others to piggy back off an idea. As you suggested, alot of textile manufacturing is like Mexican food, there are only so many combinations one can make with the same ingredients. Yet the little differences in how those items are utilized are what set y’all apart.
How about take the small gp pouch and put it on top of the triple mag pouch and the bigger gp pouch as a dangler. That might would be a solid quick response setup. Food for thought.
@XLrat guys run EUD's, and other things above placards. I don't think it would impose a lot. Probably something you would have to train but I don't think it would be that big of a problem.
@@FU5ELPOLLO I didn’t know that. I’ve only had experience with the trex arms chest rig and that design seems like it wouldn’t work. I could also be completely over guessing how much a small pouch affects magazine draw
Integrated solutions are great if, and mostly if, I've gone through the trouble of fiddling with modular crap to get it configured how I want and the integrated thing does the same but better. And then I change my goal and have to redo the gear.
I've been in the market for a modular chest rig/plate carrier system. Definitely on the consideration list. Is there an advantage to having the med pouch in front vs on a battle belt, with a dump pouch in front?
Pretty cool to see the evolution and the changing thought process. From what I see at this point in time, there is such an eye-watering amount of mag placards and danglers to the point that it kinda makes the built-in dangler a moot point.
Really neat. I love the way you explained the design iterations and deficits. Ive been slowly getting a kit together. And seeing these vids helps to set up parts and components in an efficient way. And, that certain setups just won't do things the way you might hope
The double stacked pouch idea on the front is cool. Especially for us taller guys there's a lot of usable real estate. That would require TRex making things like AC1s in XL for the larger plates us tall people require though
I literally bought the triple flap placard and wanted a gp pouch for it. I want a very simple micro rig that won't scare off my friends. Right now I'm settling with triple flap + wallaby but might do simp or medH later.
“There’s a limit to how different you can make a belt or placard…..”. What makes your gear unique is that it is actually in stock and ships quickly. And it’s good gear. That alone makes it worth looking at.
I'm not a fan of 'one and done' solutions. I like modularity and the ability to build it up or down to match what I need at the moment. Was fun seeing how things progressed.
Hard pass on the one piece, two pieces are ultimately more useful. I can rip off the med kit if I'm in a TEMS role. The Med H looks slick might be something I need to look at
I believe they said they were having trouble with the black nylon being too IR reflective under night vision, so they had to switch to coyote accents. I think Lucas preferred the green and black as well though.
I'm definitely a "why" guy. So, I appreciate the thought processes behind products, ideas, beliefs, whatever. I would love to see more of these types of videos.
Great video! We love watching you guys innovate and make great products. If I add my $0.02 I would say keep it the way you have it, people can make what they want and are not just stuck with a chest right now pouch. Overall they both are cool designs but I think you made a good call the way you made it happen.
I think "all in one" products do have a place. Making your equipment as light as possible is probably the for the best. Some of us would for sure buy something like the original prototype. I myself (being a nobody) like the ability to add as mission demands
Can you please go back to black zippers and hardware on ranger green products? I am on the fence on like 6 of your products but I cannot bring myself to like coyote hardware, doesn't match with spiritus/crye
Limited and limiting usage, if a product has only one way to be used , talking about the dangler and triple flap in one piece. A separate dangle with separate flap could be used in different combinations for different applications. With this being said...those who need a fixed combo they will ,maybe ,have a need for such a product
I think the multipiece system works best, keep it simple so people can build it out for different sizes "for personnel height as well", missions, and logistically easier. Say you damage the dangler from a sharp or pokey object, save in cost by buying just a dangler and not a whole new front rig.
Tbh i would love the idea of a one and pouch system as a back panel for the ac1 to balance out the weight so your not just stacking all the equipment in the front of the body
You could sell "less effective prototypes" to airsofters for cheap if thats still profitable with material cost and everything That would also give you an influx of feedback and new insights on your ideas
Honestly as a dude bought an ak and a bunch of ammo back in the day when it was cheap. And who's not really a gun or gear guy? That thing is ideal for me.
I dont care for the larger hanger pouch. More weight inside means its going to smack your groin area like you owe it money 😂 i run a shaw concepts 4 mag placard with an agilite hanger. I like the slim profile of the S.C. placard when prone. I also run extra mags on the side plate carriers and in the Agilite backpack setup. The backpack is useless alone because you cant use it without taking your plate carrier off. Shaw concepts makes a backpack plate that allows you to access the backpack easier. So far, I couldn't imagine a better setup for myself.
I really like this style video! It was a little funny cause I'm used to the way Linus from ltt does it on the wan show, so I was waiting for you to get distracted the whole time 😆 Oh, btw, I liked that podcast you just did with John Lovel on video games
@TREXARMORY : to be transparent, I would love it, if TREX were to make a low budget line of kit, for us poor's, that cannot afford top tier TREX gear. please at least make, a chest rig under$40. for us poor's, so we don't have to rely on Chinesium knock-offs or airsoft kit/gear...
If you do ever do a full placard PLEASE DO 4 ACROSS THE FRONT There’s literally no reason to not have 4 ar-15 mags across the front other than “muh aesthetic”

I second this!
I think constant product development, new and existing, is one of T.Rex's greatest strengths. Much appreciated!

What ever happened to that holster hanger dangler thing, that allowed you to hang a holster beneath your plate carrier? I’d love to see a video of what happened to that product. Thanks!
What about a dangler with loops for flahbangs? It could either be mounted to the front for personal use or to the back for use by the guy behind.
Cool video, but unsure aboy that med.dangler as it looks like you never fully close it becouse of the pull tab.

i love trex ive got many of their products, however i i have yet to find anything that can beat the Roll1 from ferro concepts in terms of IFAK containment pouches.
I really want a single MOLLE variant of the flap pouches from the rig. Feel like that'd be great for situational mag placement.

I'd love to throw some concepts your way, I've got a few unique designs you might be interested in.
this was a great video, I'd love to see more of this style
I love the ready rig. Its very comfortable compact and minimalist. Best $100 ive spent on a peice of gear.
I wish they would update it with the shock cord loops like the new cumberbund for the ac1

Will there be any new equipment coming out for the ready rig? I think the Velcro on the new pouches are opposite of the ready rig.

I like the behind the scenes look. I think that keeping the modularity is important and nice to see in the current iteration.
Anyone see Lucas making gains? Slowly but surely bro keep it up💪🏾
He's more of an agile guy, I don't think he'll push for serious gains
Lucalisthenics? Haha
Usually in long sleeves. Needs the pin at his age and frame
@@masonhalespushing for serious gains is the only way to make any gains. DYEL?
How about take the small gp pouch and put it on top of the triple mag pouch and the bigger gp pouch as a dangler. That might would be a solid quick response setup. Food for thought.
Wouldn’t the top pouch somewhat obstruct the mag pouches? I wouldn’t want anything in the way when trying to swap mags

Y'all also kill the Raptor 2.0 Backer? Was announced over a month ago and now doesn't even have a waitlist signup anymore, just "unavailable"
100% I love these vids. Learning the why about gear is more important to me than the specific brand/name

I like seeing product evolution, and possibly where things went off the rails
Love it when you guys come out with new stuff. Cool video on some of the back end stuff

Just got my MedH pouch today and I love it. Already tried it out with my plate carrier and ready rig. Works great.
Definitely like the idea of the triple mag pouch and a GP pouch mini dangler. Keep it coming T Rex!!!
definitely enjoyed the video. please do more. seeing the thought behind the products and the prototypes is really cool
can you put a placard on top of a ready rig
People make molle panels for it
Yes. You can technically place it on top of on bottom.
I just want an easy option. So, an all in 1 type thing is appealing.
Im digging the black ops soundtrack on the background
Can we get a suppressor holster for the TRL light tho
great video. intrested in where TRA is going.
While most companies try to keep their failed product ideas secret, TREX Arms is out here turning failed product ideas into amazing content👌
Very true.
It's not really a failed idea though. It's a single idea that, through R&D, became 2 products.
@@borrago very true
I love the third design, literally going to draft it now
Hard pass on the one piece, two pieces are ultimately more useful. I can rip off the med kit if I'm in a TEMS role. The Med H looks slick might be something I need to look at
I like the finished product but it would be cooler with the Ranger green and black look
I believe they said they were having trouble with the black nylon being too IR reflective under night vision, so they had to switch to coyote accents. I think Lucas preferred the green and black as well though.
@@rocksolidhopeYep
If you want to do a stacked dangler option, having an option for soft armor would be tight.
Would you guys make a (LBE)? Would be great to see and especially for equipping modern citizens.
I want a 9mm dedicated placard for glock mags (6 mags?) :)
Personally I love the modularity of the two piece option, even at a higher price point.
I'm definitely a "why" guy. So, I appreciate the thought processes behind products, ideas, beliefs, whatever. I would love to see more of these types of videos.
The Triple mag placard with a modified Med-H would probably be the best version of the double decker kind of design.

Say you damage the dangler from a sharp or pokey object, save in cost by buying just a dangler and not a whole new front rig.
A product that I think is needed should be those crye style pouches but singular
Tbh i would love the idea of a one and pouch system as a back panel for the ac1 to balance out the weight so your not just stacking all the equipment in the front of the body
the fact is everyone will want something slightly different, the most universal way to go is to have everything seperate from each other
Modularity is key. Making gear scalable.
How bout the 2 tier dangler with one being a pull out style ifak? I’d buy that for a dollar!
This was a very interesting video, definitely looking forward to more of these!
Love the content here! Definitely interested in this format on other products.
why not make the med h Velcro lined and make different inner Velcro organizers san loops or another pocket that sealed or even phone pockets
bring back the Y strap in black and grey and i'll buy a few of them!!!
I got excited thinking the first placard was a back panel......we need a back panel
id buy that for a dollar
I vote for a one and done. I'm really liking the new stuff you guys are coming out with. Good job
Hell yeah give us more like this y’all touched my tism with this.
You could sell "less effective prototypes" to airsofters for cheap if thats still profitable with material cost and everything

Was great getting a sneak peek behind the scenes ❤️🇺🇲
While there is the cost with three different items vs having combo items, the modularity is better than a one and done even if you save a buck.
Honestly as a dude bought an ak and a bunch of ammo back in the day when it was cheap. And who's not really a gun or gear guy? That thing is ideal for me.
Needs a Ferro style mini dangler
"It's just extremely nifty."
