The lancer tactical assault plate carrier. Which actially comes with mag pouches PLUS an admin pouch or hydration carrier. Somewhere i seen that it comes with a dump pouch too. But not to sure. The best part is that its only $70

So what the deal here. Is it worth waiting to get the pantac or is the lancer just as good of a buy?


To draw you away from the repro stuff have you considered this?

While it is currently out of stock, it's not a china made clone, but a real honest to god tactical plate carrier for $127.95 USD

Now if you are set to have pouches come with your rig, then a china clone might be your best bet then, however I would spend some time looking at the real stuff while you weigh your options.

oh and on a side note while you are looking at the differences between 600D and 1000D (good for you!!) for strength of materials, the stitching is of equal importance! You could have a rig made of 1000D but with crap stitching (China clones are notorious for this) or you could have a 600D with perfect stitching and find that the 600D will outlast that 1000D.

Something to keep in mind.
