Base Tactical Building Block - Fighting Load Carrier (FLC) Vest
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- This is the Fighting Load Carrier Vest that was used throughout the US Military for years, mainly the US Army. The FLC is currently being replaced by the TAP, but the FLC is still a rock solid base for a tactical kit load out. The vest has a good amount of MOLLE webbing across the front for pouches and accessories, as well as webbing along the padded waist belt. You can mount enough pouches for a full combat load of magazines and other gear easily on it. The vest can be adjusted for standalone wear or to fit over body armor. On the inside, behind the main MOLLE sections, are sleeves/pockets for flat items like maps and other documents. These vests are a one size fits most. While they can be adjusted to go as large as 55″ they fit best on waists 28″-38″. Keep in mind these vests ride a little bit high so the waist line will be closer to the gut/navel line.
Vests DO NOT include any additional pouches or accessories!

Good, I transformed US FLC Vest to "weekly hiking vest" with 2x (triple M4 pouches for front-sides) + 2x (1x Quart canteen pouches for 2x liter water) + 1x back waist pouches for energy bars (4 hours hiking if needed). It is very comfortable to hike without too much sweat on my back and very payload-balanced during hike/jump/run always.
That sounds like a great setup and use for it!
I've been wanting to use an FLC as an 'adventure vest' ever since I realized that the MOLLE straps on the front of the FILBE assault pack aren't really suitable attachment points for mag pouches and the like. Would give me quick access to my phone, knife, headlamp, and other gear without having to take off my pack. Not sure if I'm wandering into stolen valor territory by decking myself out in a bunch of tactical gear to go on a bike ride or run, so I've kept it to just the assault pack for now. If only civilian companies could match milsurp's durability and affordability...
@@Pellagrah Sure, looks good. Thanks.
I put 2 of the M60 pouches on mine and also a butt pack off the belt and used a separate 3L/100oz hydration pack when hunting.
Damn I haven't seen an LBV in a minute, for short time we had those in the Corps, fantastic on a flat range.
200 saw pouch on the back with 2 water bottles for weight balancing
that be pretty nice to make a cheap Construction fishing or hiking vest
They do! We have had users make them into vests for those exact uses.
@@VentureSurplus I use a FLC at my job maintaining hotel rooms. With various MOLLE pouches, I can wear some of my small tools/parts, etc, instead of having to carry them. Has worn like iron for years!
so how do you adjust the vest for different sizes. I can't zip mine up
Aww job! More more
So how much can this vest carry
Exact weight spec unknown but it was designed to carry a full combat load out - 6 fully loaded 30 round AR mags, two full canteens, IFAK, 2 grenades, accessory pouches, etc. - do the math. Machine gunners carried their much heavier loads with these too. If I had to guess: 25 - 40 lbs. If not going into combat - you can configure these anyway you desire - that's the MOLLE concept.
@@paul7754 awesome thanks !!!
