Minimalist, and it doesn't look like you gave in to any impulse to fill every bit of available MOLLE space. I'd consider a smaller dump pouch (or using a cargo pocket instead, like I do) and replacing the triple mag pouch with Esstac Kywi's. What's in your med pouch? |

Ok Gents, I finally have a reasonable contribution to make. Tear it apart as you see fit.
" /> The foundation FS Strandhögg SAPI cut in medium LvL IV stand alone plates LvL IIIA soft armor backers " /> " /> The Goods FS admin pouch D3 chest rig MR Mystery Cinch I've enjoyed the set up so far. Though there are still a few more tweaks to do. Looking to hopefully grab some side plates, a TQ pouch or two, and eventually add a radio to this set up. But all comes with time.... and lots of money |

Any ideas on how to lift the plate, or is the best option to just buy a new PC? ETA: A closer shot with it tightened up even more. Still low, but at this point its near impossible to get off and on.

The best solution is to get some closed cell foam (like the stuff you get for making tool cut-outs) and cut it to a width that will lift the plate to the proper height, then tape it to the plate. |

Nice set up. I know, the snap is just stiff as can be and they stay put pretty good. Only changes i foresee is going to two esstac double pouches on the front and moving the IFAK over to the flap. I also have one of the buckles clipped and replaced with a G-Hook from SKD. It's very hard for me to should the rifle with the thick buckles. |
