I’m now leaning towards the Spiritus Systems LV119 if I can find one.
eBay appears to show several if you’re willing to pay $450+ ...too rich for my blood.

this carrier I bought forever ago really sucks. I honestly don’t even know what brand it is. I might have even gotten it from here via group buy. Has no tags on it or anything.
ideally I want to get a new carrier and order plates for it. I’m now leaning towards the Spiritus Systems LV119 if I can find one. Plates I’ve been looking at Hesco, DFNDR or Hoplite. DFNDR are pricey but lightweight
So all these guys with body armor, are you single or let the Fam fend for themselves? "Sorry honey, I could only buy one set of plates." would result in me dead and my wife wearing my kit (if I had kit to wear. )
Whatever you do, do it now. You'll wait months. No telling how long the wait if restrictive legislation floats to the surface again in the next year. And a Dem supermajority, however unlikely, would seal the deal.
Slicksters are easy to come by either.

Now I just need my plates to come...View attachment 388528
30 years from now folks will be going to garage sales and finding all sorts of dusty old never used tactical gear and plates and wonder "WTF was this from?"......and some old coot will explain its all leftover from the 2020 tactical panic buy where none of it ended up getting used.....trump won the election, the GOP retained the senate and won back the house and the antifa terrorists were rounded up under the insurrection act
At least thats what I hope the story how I hope it turns out.....
If you have an old set of 10yr old ceramic plates you've replaced you should take them to range and set up a couple tests to see if they actually "aged" or were still good
My bet is that unused modern ceramics are probably good for well over 10 years......

which carrier is this? I’m narrowed down to the Spiritus L119, Ferro Concepts Slickster or FCPC, and the Velocity Systems Scarab LT. hmm
there’s a couple on there as a buy it now that aren’t too inflated. I’m wondering if the FCPC is a better buy though Compared to the slickster
So I order the FCPC yesterday. $667 with plates. I get a conformation email along with, one or more items you ordered require additional information. Click on that link. You need to send a copy of drivers licence, copy of LTC AND a notarized affidavit....WTF...So I recently moved and would have felt uncomfortable walking into my local bank branch getting a copy of affidavit signed titled"SKD Tactical Body Armor" I called a friend whose daughter is a notary got her email address and sent it to her. She sent back signed/stamped. I send the three requested copied to them. Today I get an email saying that my mailing address did not match my ltc/drivers license and needed utility bill etc so I scan a recent verizon bill and email. Right after that I get another email saying that I needed to mail the original notarized affidavit.....I almost snapped my laptop in half. I then thanked them for saving me $700 and canceled my order...WTF...Just a heads up Cheersthere’s a couple on there as a buy it now that aren’t too inflated.

So there seems to be a trend with modular placard setups on the front of some carriers. Is it possible to put a placard setup on a carrier that only has molle up front? It appears that they utilize a lot of hook and loop with buckles or g hooks at the top.
For anyone interested selling 2 kevlar helmets, got suckered intotheir shitty head measurement and bought a M instead of S
