Need recommendations for 8x6 ESAPI side plate pouches. The only ones I can find are HSGI, was curious if there were any more mfg's that have an offering.

is this the optimal camo for gym?

Optimal gym gear is known to be green spandex leggings and a pink "OUCH!" tank top

>woodland gear in an urban environment
Obviously multicam would be most effective.

Is there such a thing as a prepacked ifak? I'd rather not have to buy everything separate
it's a bit low

That isn't a coincidence, just so you know
the AR is the best tactical rifle available in the current year, and the boys in here are going for performance.

There's no difference in gear, aside from pouches and even then, most intermediate caliber rifles can use the same pouches.

Yes expect to spend a bit. Anything you don't put together yourself is automatically $50 bucks more than you'd think.

I bet you use an SKS

Bought a CompTac a while back, just haven't gotten around to changing it out yet. Might do that tonight.
Good or bad buy? I like it on my belt well enough.

Lets hear your suggestions Jow Forums. I have a plain MICH. what should I get to class it up?

Help me GQ, you're my only hope.

I'm transferring to a career as a keyboard warrior (for the most part) but will sometimes need to travel with my work PC, and also need to commute with it on weekdays. I need a professional looking bag that isn't covered in MOLLE straps or multicam.

I'm trying to find a well made bag with a padded laptop pouch that doesn't scream tactical. It MUST also have 2x zip up/fastex side pouches.

Please, no bullshit Condor, 5.11, or Victorinox bags. I want something that will last, and won't fall apart from work trips.

Just as an example, if this had side pockets it would be perfect:

Anyone know if the velcro on the LBT6094 is removable?

Attached: high speed.jpg (1200x1200, 78K)

get yourself a leg strap or it'll bounce around, you can probably cannibalize one off your drop leg

Cute, but not quite the flavor I'm looking for.

But you too can be this operator
>youtube.com/watch?v=nip8Vry7S9s

Do you really need the side pouches? Packs with fastex/zips usually have velcro or molle.

Attached: lbtdaypack_5.jpg (960x960, 51K)

Yes, I carry a lot of other stuff in the bag: the main pocket has my lunch box, the sides have my wallet, keys, ID, work phone, etc.

I also keep a sunglasses hard case on the shoulder strap.

It's a great system, but my current bag (a Swiss Gear) is ripping in a few places and won't be long for this world.

>Wallet and key not on person
???

This nigga wearing sundresses everywhere, things don't have pockets

I'm wearing dress clothes to a white collar job on a long commute. I prefer to keep them off body while I'm riding.

This is what I'm using now. It's functionally perfect, but the durability isn't there:

swissgear.com/backpacks/swissgear-9275-laptop-backpack-gray

Unless you're okay with front pockets, you're kind of out of luck then, I don't think there's a single pack that doesn't have molle or velcro with proper side pockets.

is that as far down as the mags go?

Just use your pockets lmao

>get white collar job

>buy comfortable, fitted, stylish dress clothes

>fill pockets with bulky phone, keys etc.

No thanks.

Imagine thinking you're too high-class to use your pockets.
Your fucking pockets.
Jesus christ.

>high-class

Nigga how often have you worn slacks? My phone fits in one pocket, and my pocket knife and mini multitool fill the other.

Nothing else is going to fit in them, that's why I carry a bag.

I mean, I used to be the same? I use my pockets, it's really not that hard. Thin wallet, phone, keys.

>wearing slacks instead of mountaineering pants

Same office casual look, but roomier pockets.

Wallet in a rear pocket, phone and knife in right front, keys in left. Magik.

>white collar job
>not coming to the office in comfy casual

>mountaineering pants

Bruh.

No, just no...

Not cargo pants, nerd. Cheap Columbia climbing shit.

We're talking about an office dress code with an expectation of starched and pressed button up shirts, a tie, and pressed slacks on a normal day, and a full matching suit, vest optional, when conducting business/interviews outside the office.

Hiking pants aren't going to cut it.

>vest optional

I'm sorry. I hope you're into that, because I can and do work in pyjamas.

It took some adjusting, but the job is cool as fuck and the pay is great. I ain't even mad.

Winters are cold, my nod to Jow Forums is a reproduction WWI British khaki wool great coat.

hmm it's like most of us live in the USA and ARs are a popular and cheap platform to use.

sell it and get a lighter helmet.
if not get, team wendy cam fit and epic air liner; if you feel like wasting your money.

could be like me, barely buttoned dresshirt, crye FR ACs and flip flops.

Agreed. They lack nips, because they assume that anyone who buys armors lacks lacs.

Also I can telework twice a week, so I guess I could technically work naked on those days?

Drunken DIY for the night lol. CompTac's female chicago bolt has big ass teeth that grip into the kydex and had to beat it out, luckily still have some from some past project. And this leftover strap is 100% trash. Will make proper when physically able.

Also need to get a beefier belt. Didnt do a bad job with the drop leg, not so well with dropped.

big cute

why should I buy tacticool shit when I can buy carhartt or daluth?

no homo

because carhartt or duluth don't make load bearing gear, also both those brands are w e a k

Necklace purse for the full queer effect.

I don't carry wallet or keys on me either.

>not wearing a bespoke suit
>not wearing hand crafted lofters

>fall for tactical pants memes

I wear lululemon and jeans tho

Anyone tried the 5.11 knee pad inserts? I'm confident they're shit but they just have to be better than having no pads at all

They are OK. They are too soft and tend to fold in the pocket. I cut new ones out of Insulite foam from old military sleep pads. This:

Real quick. What’s the name of that belt with all the holes for pouches and holsters and stuff?

Pretty sure you're thinking of Belt With Holes™. The Belt™ I bought was one of their holiday bundles, so it came with two Pouches™ and a Holster™ for my guns and ammo, and had no problem getting them woven through the Holes™. A little pricey for what it is but I'd buy it again.

Wait wasn’t that directed by Michael Bay?

No, that was 13 Hours: Guys with Belts™ and Guns™.

Im hearing the double strap is bad for dropleg holsters. Why are single straps better? My arms are very long and I wear a rain jacket or carhartt under my plate carrier. If I wore a regular belt holster I wouldn’t be able to draw without moving the jacket out of the way

Conservation of movement
You usually have to bend down to grab your side arm instead of just reaching
Plus it is annoying to run with a drop leg and double straps

It’s not about how many straps there are, it’s about how far down on your leg it is. The further away from your waist you pistol gets, the more it’s going to rock back and forth as you walk and run. You might as well go ahead and buy a cheap one so you can find out the hard way, people usually have to.

never tried the revolver system but the epir air has more adjustment pads so you can dial in a better fit.
I had to use a blend of the regular and thin comfort pads for my epic air to have a perfect fit.

So can a single drop get as low as a double strap leg drop? Such as pic related

Im eye balling a pair of dual comm comtac 3s but I only have one radio. If I only have one lead connected, do I still only hear the radio out of one ear?

Because people constantly wear them too low. A good draw height for a dropleg should be if you can keep your spine perfectly straight and reach down and comfortably rest your hand on the grip of the gun without having to stretch your arm out.

Any lower than that is unnecessary, and that drop can be accomplished by single strap droplegs. I wore an issued Blackhawk dropleg in the Army (no choice to this piece of gear) and on of the best adjustments to it was to entirely remove the top thigh strap and the vertical buckle assembly; wearing it high with a single thigh strap and with the vertical strap looped directly through my belt was far better of a setup. This is assuming that a standard duty drop adaptor for your belt is off the table.

Next time you see somebody with a dropleg sitting on their mid thigh, watch them draw their pistol. They’ve got to lean their whole body over to the side. Very doofus move.

You don’t want it that low. A dropleg should really only be used when you need a couple more inches than a belt drop platform can give you. You don’t need the gun sitting mid-thigh.

The higher it sits to your centre of gravity, the less it will move and offset your own movement.

Wear any drop style holster as high as you can make it go.

Good job on that custom work there user. I'm starting to become more of a stitch bitch after putting some pads on my chicom due to the joy of screwing with your gear after a couple beers.

>pic semi related, threw in my foot per tradition

Also any body ever use aws's rifle mag pouches? I'm tired of my hypalon shit and really like their pistol pouches.
