/gq/ - gear queer

I'm looking for a slim admin pouch with 2 separate zippered pockets that can be accessed from the left and right sides. This would be on the front of my plate carrier (SPCS), mag pouches on top, another admin pouch above it. Does something like this even exist?

lmao that's 2 for 2 for being wrong

Yes, HelikonTex sells pretty much exactly what you're looking for on amazon, but that setup sounds goofy as fuck and clunky PCs are a meme with the current state of battle belts but you do you booboo.

Except that is a MICH helmet and that is a FAST cover on it? Maritime, airframe, whatever. Blow me.

first pc, how did i do?

When I deployed, we just sprayed our helmets with paint. Used netting, n other shit to make random patterns. Turned out pretty sweet and didn't add bs to the helmet to keep it as smooth as possible. Cloth covers like that gay shit can catch on objects, doorways in a vehicle, etc.

I've honestly never seen covers like that in use in Afghanistan or anywhere I ever went. Must be a new meme. We often worked with various special forces teams, and foreign forces and none of them used that shit either. Many even just wore Protec helmets with Oregon areo pads in em.

Well, I'm goofy as fuck so it matches me. I'm a milfag and I'm trying to store

In a way that isn't so bulky and makes everything easy to access. I've got 2 canteens so side pouches aren't really an option. What would you do, assuming you have the same PC?

Laser cut webbing doesn't hold up anywhere near as well as heavily stitched MOLLE webbing. Looks like airshit that wouldn't survive a single deployment.

Yeah laser cut is gay but if you like it thats all that matters

I didn't know LHT made those in grey, also ditch the serpa

> Tfw deployed with the guys in that picture
> Tfw learning SFAB is the most incompetent group of chucklefucks on Earth with an SF budget

What are u getting at? I said laser cut webbing is gay and won't hold up as well as reinforced webbing does, cuz ya know, its literally reinforced with stitching. You then post an image of soldiers or cops in training with vests using normal webbing, not laser cut shit nor deployed in a theater.

That is literally not a MICH. The MICH and ACH are the same cut you retard.

Lmao no, it's an IHPS which is slated to replace the ACH/MICH and that's the specific IHPS cover. Open your eyes and maybe stop talking out your ass.

Would probably get an appropriately sized satchel-esque bag for them.
>IFAK
IFAK bag on belt
>Earpro
Mines integrated with my helm, I imagine yours would be as well if you're working with nods. Loose they either go on my head or around the stock of my gun.
>Extra/eyepro
Stuff Pouch, pic related, kinda like a slightly smaller more rigid dump pouch with molle on around it. Like a large admin pouch. Probably stick it on the side of the carrier. IFAK on the opposite side if you wanted to put it on PC

Just what I'd do.

They'd unironically look better with a full cover

Looks like the helmets are wearing diapers. Looks stupid.

They unironically look and function like complete shit and shouldn't exist.

>What are u getting at?

Man it must be hard not knowing shit about gear or google

They all look like they are wearing IHPS... except the guy clearly wearing MICH. Whether or not the MICH panties look the same as IHPS/FAST/airframe/maritime is beyond me, I dont think they have them. Take your own advice.

Calling u out for using a n image that didn't support your bs somehow equates to not knowing gear? Kay bub. Least ya found a pic of someone with laser cut webbing this time, and in theater. Still doesn't equate at all to longevity or durability.

They’re all wearing the same helmet my dude

??? This is some advanced retardation or blindness.
It's the same helmet, follow the ear cut and compare it to an ACH/MICH.

MICH not present in photo, SFAB has never been issued a MICH, period

Your plate is sitting too low. The top of the plate should be level with your jugular notch. The tops of your lungs are too exposed the way you have it now. If engaging an enemy within their zeroing distance assuming a center mass point of aim, their rounds are likely to hit high rather than low.

In 's post and second image they're wearing LHT which is a fairly reputable high end manufacturer, which was the original posters point; you'd know that if you bothered to google it or actually knew what were talking about.
I can't speak for durability, but the proliferation of laser cutting and mass issue tells me otherwise.

Bought this for 20$ don't know shit about it besides it's a flashlight and it goes on your helmet. How to mount? I must be missing something.

perroz pc vs ferro?

Perroz because SwuftclipTM

So what do you gays think about this? It has the same features as a range master but is about $700 cheaper. I like it but is it queer enough?

I bought one a while back the guy posted it as complete but it was missing the mount too.

Get your $20 back?

fuck the pic didn't post here it is.

Attached: Watch.jpg (4128x2322, 3.06M)

garbage. get your money back

6 months is definitely on the short side imo.

Only one of you sort of answered my question.
>How to mount
>It was missing the mount too
Ok so there's a mount that mounts to your helmet. Thanks i'll buy that

Not really

What's stronger, the material the plate carrier was already made of, or some strands of thread?

Only issue is the mount costs more than the lights I wanted to buy one too but cant justify paying 80 for a mount to mount a $20 light. if I was you id get a newer better light.

I have arc rails on my helmet, some chinese company makes the adapter for 14$ shipped from china. For now i'm using adhesive velcro

so its a range master for the memes not the function?

Attached: 1560175190808.jpg (474x465, 24K)

It sucks because the opfor will heal you when you open the pouch because of the velcro

I have rails too I just didn't know about the china man making a alternative to the real one.

get a suunto core for 200$

It's a serious question. I've owned laser cut plate carriers (First Spear AAC) as well as normal ones. I've never ruined the webbing on either. I have seen standard MOLLE webbing tear off when the holes from the bartack weakened the underlying cordura so much that it tore out completely.

take a sheet
now cut 1 inch slits in that sheet
now pull that sheet from its ends and tell me what happens to the slits you cut into it

>paper is just like a woven fabric
nigga that's not remotely similar. spoken like someone who doesn't realize that your super strong bartacks are just thread (the same shit that is usually the first point of failure on all sewn goods)

lmao

Look at the fucking step in the ear coverage area. Its not a MICH or ACH you dimwit.

Are you laser cutting your woven fabric as you make those cuts then? You do have to seal the edges and most of the companies doing that also use a laminated material behind the cordura for strength. your comparison with holes cut in 60D nylon is worthless.

Attached: fpLg9f7.jpg (3024x4032, 1.16M)

still don't know what material he wants tbqh

he means a fabric sheet you dunce

>all fabric is the same
so what material? cutting holes in your bedsheets isn't remotely similar to 500D

I’m looking to get a grey AAC or Strandhogg but they’re not available in the US. Apart from waiting for one to turn up on ebay are there any other options? If any European anons could snag one for me I’d pay above retail plus shipping

Are we cutting along or across the bias of the fabric? Because that makes a big difference.

>super strong bartacks are just thread (the same shit that is usually the first point of failure on all sewn goods)
This guy knows. I operate and maintain sewing machines for a living. Just yesterday I was showing a new sewer that given enough of a pull a bartack can in fact pull right out.

With that said, they're both good methods for webbing. I think laser cut looks kinda lame and I don't have the equipment to do it. "Sew" I'm going to go with regular bartacked webbing.

Is the new helmet supposed to not cover your head at all?

>getting shot in the head
There's your first mistake

But the guy in front with the "Advisor" patch has like, 70% of his head exposed. What do modern helmet even do?

the IHPS is a pretty bad example of a modern helmet

Damn bro clean your finger nails.
The top thread is intact which means the bobbin thread was loose, the hook didn't pick it up at all or the mexican that was running that machine let the bobbin run down to nothing and said "pinche gringo ass camo garbage" and sent it off to QC anyway.

Bunk, where do you buy cheap ifak equipment? chest seals, nicely packaged gauze, more importantly poorfag friendly ifak inserts? I have pouches like crazy but no pull out ifak inserts.

Hi, Alves. Oh wait, never mind. You retired

Where DOES one acquire "budget" night vision thats helmet mountable?

unserialized pvs7 parts that fell off the back of a truck

It's a dummy. Probably CASEVAC/triage training or some shit

Not that you'll need all of it but If your "budget" isn't at least 2k don't bother, you're too poor.

sent an email from a different email, apparently i cant reply from that throw away

If you absolutely *need* night vision for whatever reason and are on a budget, get a decent hunting monocular. Although that money is definitely better spent elsewhere, imo.

I know you’re a training outfit but how do you not have CLS Classes or Class VIII resupply? Either way, I sent you a reply.

BBG when are you sending me the chest seals and Israeli bandages?

Email me. Also probably when I get back. I’ve got a PUC but not a post

What is that med pouch? Ive been looking for a good IFAK pouch that isnt blueforce gear

Get a coyote burrito

look good but are there any good solutions for larger ifaks to be worn on a plate carrier?

Hard shell TQ holder or soft pouch on a belt?

Why are SFAB so bad? Aren't they trying to be the next SOF-ish unit even though they say they are conventional.

They're a regular support unit tasked with alleviating special forces from doing mundane tasks like VSO and training small time local units.

How much do you want to carry? I’d normally recommend smushing everything together in a TacTailor insert and a WTFIX universal pouch.
Because they have to pull from conventional units with experience and are teething through salty NCO’s who have “always done it this way”
Bretty much

Helikon-Tex

They get cool shit though right? Even if they did get shot in the back a bunch? I thought a few of the more senior guys got some FAST helmets in addition to all the crye gear and IHPS
