Scuffer Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 purviNs: Real deal or the TMC copy? Also nice looking kit dude Quote Link to post Share on other sites
purviNs Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Neither actually. It's from Ferro, so stitched using real AOR fabric. The TMC one really does look horrible in my eyes. What happened to the material on the webbing... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 The chinese companies tend to just use the same cordura for the PALS loops as they do the rest of the item, they just fold it over, hence it looks off compared to the proper webbing material that a high end company would use.

eel one [COE] Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 It is not only the Chinese companies that just folds and stitches the same material at the rest of the vest to make the PALS. High end brands like Paraclete does the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Jon Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 I thought they only did that before the printed webbing was available to avoid using CB webbing on multicam and the like? Â Either way it's not something I've seen on recent non-ACM gear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eel one [COE] Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) I can't find a single picture of a paraclete sohpc in mc sown with printed webbing and not folded and stitched cordura. True the sohpc in cb has cb webbing, but the multicam... Im still to see the first one, but I would like to be proven wrong.

TheFull9 Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Personally, I'm far from a fan of Paraclete so to my mind that's not the best example, plus it'll be out of the price range of 98% of airsofters anyway. As far as I'm aware, webbing is generally the superior material to use, that's the only reason I made the original point. Just going off what I've read and my experience of PCs and rigs that do use webbing for the loops, maybe I'm wrong, I'd never say I was an absolute expert on the subject.

frogfish Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) Ditch the PACA, Â All the pouches on your sides as well except for an IFAK, put your radio in the radio pouch in the cummerbund, and if you need hydration drop the canteen for a source foldable canteen with hose and either move it to your rear most spot on the cummerbund, or put it on your back. Â The BIG trend now is "slick" or trimming the load as much as possible, that's why the JPC is so popular as a day-to-day PC now.

Well, I want to make 2007~2008 kit, smth is like those on the photo. But for slim silhouette I have taken LBT kangaroo pouch. Though not sure that only 3 M4 mags in the front are ok.

Just going off what I've read and my experience of PCs and rigs that do use webbing for the loops, maybe I'm wrong, I'd never say I was an absolute expert on the subject. Â True, the high end brands are out of reach for the majority of airsofters. And as a owner of quite a few of the high end brands I must admit that there is no need to reach for the skyes in most cases. Recently I have come to the conclusion that at least some geardos have completely lost their critical sens when it comes to quality and blindly spend money on gear that is mostly used for photo sessions just to bad mouth anyone who dears to post a picture of a Warrior carrier. Truth be told, the biggest bang for the bug is found in the middle range. I have not been as disappointed with the build quality of a piece of nylon as I was with my Vtac Brokos belt, since I bought a Webtex product that fell apart at first use. I could honestly have stitched the Brokos better by hand myself and they are a professional high end manufacturer who sow on a daily basis. It is Unacceptable that Strikesystems and Ebairsoft delivers better quality, if you ask me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ArboristArmy Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 I have just received my Warrior RICAS compact and I would say for the money you can't go far wrong. Build quality is great, price is even better. What are you really getting for the higher spec PC's? Matt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

eel one [COE] Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) You don't really get anything from the higher spec. PC's. I have the Paraclete sohpc and I absolutely love it. But a new Warrior DCS carrier would have given me the same in terms of features and functionality at about one quarter of the price I had to pay in order to get a second hand sohpc. And considering the amount of Warrior gear currently in use in theatre. It is far good enough for airsoft. But impression wise, it is hard not to have to shell out big time on high end gear if one want to be accurate. Â Edit: Or that is not entirely correct. With the higher spec. PS's you often also get the NSN number which is sort of a stamp of approval on the gear in terms of durability. You also get a lighter rig but in the end the mid range of PC's are fully capable of competing with this. The label does not have to read, Eagle, Paraclete, Crye og LBT in order to be original, innovative, light weight and durable at the same time.

ArboristArmy Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Ok advice time. I need a hydration pack that will fit my Warrior RICAS, also suggestions for a bladder that will fit into any suggested carriers. Preferably with a tube cover. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackjack13 Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Warrior Hydration Carrier for a Warrior rig? And anything by CamelBak or Source will do the actual water bearing function well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ArboristArmy Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Can I get shoulder pads for my RICAS or would that be silly? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackjack13 Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 The RICAS (full-size) that is based on the EI CIRAS does to an extent, but the Compact doesn't. Personally I've never felt the need for one when running A RICAS-C, even fully loaded Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ArboristArmy Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 It's the compact but don't get me wrong, it's comfortable without the pads but I wondered if they should have them. Cheers though  I know it's not the right place but I'm going to be cheeky and slip it in anyway. I'm looking for a belt. Main purpose (like most belts) to hold up my trousers but I would also like to attach a dump pouch. Any suggestions (sorry to stray away from the topic) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
