Scuffer Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Â Mayflower APC in MC, with TYR pouches. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
k30dxedle Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Nice rig. I'm looking at building something similar with an LBT-6094. How do you like the Tyr stuff? I just got the same small GP pouch it looks like you have. Feels very nice, but haven't had a chance to field it yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scuffer Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Thanks. Â Same, I've got one of their small GP pouches either side. Stuff seems nicely made, is lightweight and size wise perfect for what I wanted. They only arrived this morning so haven't had chance to field them yet, can't foresee any issues though.

validtumoralarm Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 I've been sort of wanting to swap my JPC out for a Mayflower carrier and Scuffer may have just convinced me to do so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scuffer Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Haha glad to hear it! Â Only thing I would say is don't bother with the small cummerbund, go for the medium at least as with the small you only get 5 usable columns of MOLLE and it really is a small fit. Medium will be able to tighten down enough even for the smallest of people and adjust to bigger/have more useful space. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
validtumoralarm Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Are you sure? I'm pretty thin. 6'0" 150 lbs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scuffer Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Yeah dude, perhaps if you are only ever planning on running it with say a t-shirt and combat/BDU top on under and nothing (no mag inserts/armour) in the cummerbunds then get a small cummberbund. Â If you plan on running anything in the cummerbund or a heavier top/jacket then I'd go for the medium. The way it's designed you can hide any excess by overlapping the velcro cummerbund attachments at the back. Whereas with the small adjusted to the biggest it will go there will be some of the rear stretch panels on show, not that it's a bad thing just shows that there is limited room to adjust it much large to fit bigger outer layers underneath. (if that makes sense) Also you get 5 useable MOLLE columns on the small.. there is a 6th column of webbing but it's only about half an inch wide, so not big enough to put pouches etc onto, with the medium you will get atleast 6 useable columns on the cummerbund. Â As a guide, I'm 5'10" tall and just under the 150lbs mark. 30" waist and usually a medium top size. I have the S/M cut APC front/back and a small cummerbund. I've got 2 mags in the left cummer and a small XTNiD radio in the right. With the rig adjusted to fit me over a thin t-shirt and combat shirt I have about 3/4 of an inch of the rear elastic showing either side. While I could get another 3-4 inches in size in the cummerbund by adjusting the rear to the maxium I would have all of the elastic on show and be gaining no MOLLE real-estate. It would be smart IMHO to get the medium and hide any extra in the back while retaining atleast another MOLLE column. Â If that doesn't make any sense let me know and I'll post some better pictures of the fit/cut as there are plenty of people using/buying these but not much size guidance.

Agent Hunk Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Weird. I've got 3 inches and 100 pounds on you and found the medium cummerbund adequete. But the medium does have plenty of adjustment room for adjustment if you over lap the flaps under the front. I just ran them to the edges since I am bigger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

frogfish Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 AH bueno, I was wondering if it was a function of size or not., does the APC have seven columns on all of them, my Crye stuff only has 6 but I use medium plates... Actually, that's good to know, I am having chest rigs built like the HGG THE Chest rig, so I may grab one of those shingles as I also need a 7.62 and 4.6mm shingles...

validtumoralarm Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Has anybody seen this? It totally snuck by me. If it wasn't for the price I'd be all over a Tyr PICO by now. http://www.tyrtactical.com/products/details/belts-accessories-low-vis/tyr-tactical-slotted-base-cummerbund/ http://www.tyrtactical.com/products/details/communication-radio/tyr-tactical-pals-adapter-with-internal-radio-long-version/ Â As it is I may or may not end up picking one up to try with an APC just because it looks cool. I'm aware that I'd lose some functionality of the APC cummerbund, but the ventilation through the JPC's cummerbund is basically my favorite part of the rig. I'm torn between this and a FS Tubes upgrade kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackjack13 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 The PICO is nice, but expensive because of the integrated soft armour. The only thing I don't like about their stuff is the design of the cummerbund and their velcro fetish. Regardless though there's been a lot of thought put into their gear, and the quality is apparently brilliant too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, that's good to know, I am having chest rigs built like the HGG THE Chest rig, so I may grab one of those shingles as I also need a 7.62 and 4.6mm shingles... Â I wasn't clear enough. The front of the APC has six columns. On the back of the shingle, there would in theory be room for eight columns, but Mayflower position the straps one column in from each outer edge, so that they work with the front of the APC. Â Actually, there's a little bit of real estate on each edge outside the APC's six columns, so when the shingle is installed, there's only the slightest of overhangs over where the cummerbund goes under the flap. Â I prefer the feel and sit of the shingle over stuffing 3 magazines into the built-in pouch, and then you can keep that in reserve for other things (!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
