I just received mine in the green and I have to say it’s very nice. I haven’t bought plates for it yet but I am very happy I decided to go with this. There are so many out there for a fraction of the price but when the pros are using this as the standard than it’s no question and yes go ahead and grab the side carriers as well
Love the review. Great looking carrier. I have been looking for a new one for awhile and ultimately it’s difficult finding just the right carrier. Several brands have features I like but then some I don’t. I am always cognizant of what what my role and what my mission is. And always load to the mission. This is definitely a great versatile carrier I may look into it. But definitely I see only some small changes I would make.
"I'm excited to see how this end up looking once it's fully set up. IS it easy to reach behind to grab spare ammo from the backpack? I feel like that would be difficult, no?
You would never put anything you think you might need quickly (ie ammo) in a pack in terms of LEO a pack isn't really necessary unless you have breaching tools and are trained to use em (90% of cops aren't)
My 2 cents. When utilized a pack panel with extra supplies. Or more often for a camel back for hydration. or as mentioned breaching tools. This is team environment operations and specific utilization of fire team partners. Buddy helps you grab any extra or specialized items that is good to have but not necessarily immediately essential equipment
Outside of the features of each plate carrier where it's made is my highest concern. I've had several Chinese made tactical products and while good the stitching failed after a short time of field use. It would be great if we had a company that made gear in the USA that stood up to daily use. That used the highest quality fabrics, threads, buckles etc. Or gear that was made in Israel, Germany etc .
This is actually a relatively cheap PC compared to similar models (Crye, Hayley, ect) on the market, and for what you are getting it is definitely worth saving.
I really wanted to get this in green but my ocd cant habdle the fact the mesh is black lol the packs mesh is green so I'm confused as to why they wouldn't make the carriers mesh green too. Guess I'm going with coyote tan then lol I'd do multicam black which looks kickass, since the black mesh on that makes more sense but I already have wear a solid black vest for work and I hate wearing black, if it wasn't for dandruff I wouldn't mind as bad but black clothes and white dandruff just looks bad lol much easier to conceal in green or coyote.
This plate carrier is more along the lines but a bit above Condor brand. To me it still needs improvements even after the Gen 3 and Zero to keeping your body cooler and the bulkyness.
You actually had a fail in your review (for me a big one😅😜) the single Velcro stripe on the „backpack“ is mostly therefore that you can tuck it in (when you don’t need the big pocket) so you then have a small pocket and two big Velcro/Molle surfaces
Not getting into the politics of the situation but you'll need to the size and measurement of your child's vital areas. I don't think your going to find conventional armour for your child to wear reasonably, most are made for adults, unless you want to contact a company to make something specific it is quite difficult to find this. Remember, even soft armour isn't very comfortable to wear for long periods and something to stop rifle calibers (223) would require something upwards of 5-8 + lbs per plate (front and back), would be extremely cumbersome and a child would be hard pressed to wear it for 5 minutes much less all day. Possibly putting an AR500 plate for the backpack but that would require user compliance and usage of said pack to cover the front OR back. As someome who previously specialized in specificly private sector security and private school services before LE, I suggest if your this worried about this issue, pull your kid out of the public school system because from my experience with discussing school security with pub schools, getting them to adapt the proper safety mechanisms to significantly decrease the risk is extremely costly and 90% will not because it's not practical. Find a private school or home school. You'll be hard pressed to find something reasonable and if you do, you'll be spending up of at least 600+ dollars to get something capable of stopping handgun rounds. And probably 800+ if you see something rifle grade. As someone who studied these incidents to develop a plan for private schools, a majority of them are done with pistols, and even then are extremely rare. Just my two cents from someone who did something a bit more specialized than what an avg cop would do. (Not throwing off on tommy).
I like your videos. Didn’t watch this one fully but; though this plate carrier has all the bells and whistles…we need something that’s functional in its primary duties. From my test experience an issue I encountered was the bulk at the shoulders offset my ability to properly shoulder my rifle. From what I seen this was an issue w some others as well. Quick release is cool but can take up good space if maybe someone would want to put a baton or something upfront really just preference
This is my current setup in the Chicagoarea. I love it so far with a HRT placard, and have enough space for my BWC, name plate, and badge.

This carrier will likely be my next scalable/overt. Thanks for the detailed video 👍
As always, great stuff
Love the review.

Will haley strategic placard/ chest rigs work with this?
I love my original version K19. It is the most comfortable PC I've used.
The current v3 is even better in some substantive ways. Good stuff.
My first carrier I picked it up and the shoulder strap died.
R.I.P plate carrier. The plate carrier was a good carrier until the strap broke in a fatal way. God have mercy on it’s soul…
@@user-DarkXY It was cheap shit
Was it this brand?
@@ld1238 no lmao
I personally prefer the g clip mag attachment. I just prefer the integration of that specific (velcro and g clip) combo over the molly.

Great video. Love your watch. What is the make and model?
Are those shoulder clips rated to the same spec as those straps? or is that a failure point?
It's the 1st generation of K19 ?
Looks like the 3.0 version
3rd
I’d say the third generation
Hell of a review my guy.
Good vest
Good review but you mispronounce Agilite. Ag-i-LIGHT. Like agility and light combined.
video on how to talk on the radio better?
Agi LIGHT. Thanks for your video from Illi NOISE.
That looks sick

@@literallynobody1515 Good to know, thank you. Have a blessed day.
Armored republic plate carrier and plates. Made in USA 🇺🇸
Agilite is Israeli and have a good reputation. Spiritus Systems and Velocity Systems are all Berry-compliant and made in US.
@@TATE-d6z no only the valkyrie is made in US all others are made in Vietnam and their plates are overpriced steel pieces of shit
I believe shellback is made in USA a bit overpriced imo
I wish I could afford this :/ I'm on a part time swat team and our budget isn't great
If you can save $30 a week for 10 weeks you’d have enough. Or even $20 for 15ish weeks. Small steps🤝

Sounds like you’re thinking about it way to hard
Are there typically back plate options? I know there is a front plate pouch.
The front and back parts of the carrier are the plate bag bro
This plate carrier is more along the lines but a bit above Condor brand. To me it still needs improvements even after the Gen 3 and Zero to keeping your body cooler and the bulkyness.
Do you have it? Is it too hot?
It sounds like you want another piece of gear lol

Can you please recommend a company that makes bullet proof vest that can stop AR-15 ROUNDS, for small children in Elementary School.
Safe Life defense, flexible rifle system
My bad, that should have read safelifedefense, flexible rifle armor system
you need to arm the kids, not give them vests. That's how self-defence works. Vests aren't going to save you if you can't shoot back.

Had you watched a bit more you’d have seen that the K19 has flat G Clips as well as QR for the shoulder straps. It’s a really good setup.
Just get good dog.
