Thanks for the info PFran, I was looking at the larger CCRKs and did not see that smaller guy.
And jd0509, do you have any more info on the med insert setup in the Crye pouch? I have those MBITR pouches and was considering selling them but I think your idea is a really good one. |

I'll have to look into that I used to have the tourniquet on my belt which is what I train with mostly and it kept breaking the rubber band. |

I tried the Tourniquet Now from Blue Force Gear and I thought it would get in the way and restrict quick removal of the Tourniquet but after testing it about 50 times, I am a believer in the product. My CAT and SOFTT-Ws pull out easier than with the rubber band approach.

Anyone ever add shoulder pads to their PC?
I've seen a few commercial available ones, any inputs? |

I added these to mine and am extremely happy. Lots of padding from chest over the shoulder to the back, perfect for holding my water tube in place as well.

I went to walmart last night and bought a bicycle inner tube to make some bands out of and it seems that it would be a little tough to get the tourniquet off when it is attached with the inner tube bands. I am going to leave it for a while and see how it works. The inner tube is definitely a big improvement over the rubber band though. |

Woobies are better than pussy. I just went 80 days using mine without a wash and it didnt smell too bad. Try that with a vagina.

I just bought a MARZ XL for my 11x14s. It was one of the few I found that could do the 11x14s, 6x8 side plates and had a cummerbund.

As for the rest...if the pads don't get in the way, use em. No reason to hurt if you don't have to. Fwiw, I've been using an SPC with no pads for years. |

No buckles, it's all velcro other than where the straps connect to the PC. It came with shoulder pads,I took them off because I think it's more comfortable without them (haven't had plates in it yet to really judge). The PC hasn't interfered with shouldering a rifle during the short time I have used it (once again, without plates). |

I think the older ones are solid but you could just clip them, but the newer ones are precut so they come right off.
