KyleKatarn Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Hey, i just received my FLYYE "Molle Style PC Plate Carrier" (Eagle MBAV Clone), and i've got a question.. First of all, i'm pretty tall, 1,93cm for the records, and not too fat nor too skinny, so i thought i'll stick with "medium" size. I saw many pics of the Eagle MBAV and i expected it to be like this: But here's how it looks like on me: You can see that it's pretty wide, wider than i expected. The main problem i have is, that the front side of the plate carrier blocks my arm. Not very comfortable. I wonder if the Flyye MBAV is not a 1:1 replica of the one from eagle? That's why the word "style" is in the product name? Would it be a signifcant difference in width, if i'd have the Flyye Mbav in size "small"? Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
dechande Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 It's not 100% accurate. A real MBAV/PC w/c has 6 rows of molle across the top rows on both S/M and L/XL, whereas the Flyye version has 7. Having 7 rows plus the width of the velcro portion makes the Flyye MBAV wider than a CIRAS at the chest (which is 8 rows across). I don't know if the Flyye small size would be narrower. The EI comes in either S/M or L/XL, both sizes are the same width, L/XL has an extra row of molle on the chest making it longer and it has a larger cummerbund. Link to post Share on other sites
ollie_ty Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 That is EXACTLY why I sold mine. Way too uncomfortable. Link to post Share on other sites
KyleKatarn Posted May 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Thanks for the info dechande. After inserting a sapi plate it's way more comfortable for me. I think I'll keep it. Link to post Share on other sites
Shardik Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 I hate it when they do that. Make a superb quality replica but get it wrong at quite an important part of the stage. Link to post Share on other sites
KyleKatarn Posted May 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Yeah, btw i changed my mind and sold it. Really a shame, such an amazing quality. Would be nice to know if the ciras versions from Flyye are not that authentic, too.. Link to post Share on other sites
Mjelnir Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 I have the Flyye Force recon vest in large. And it gives my arms enough clearance for a full range of motion and properly seating the buttstock.. But I am a pretty broad guy so maybe that has something to do with it.

KyleKatarn Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Hey again, I got 2 really really urgent questions: 1. Does the Flyye Ciras in size "L" have an extra row of molle vertically, so 9 instead of 8? (Hopefully not) 2. I'm currently deciding between the "M" and the "L" Version. I know that the L Version is a bit longer, but is this "lengthening" done by lengthen the vest itself (by adding space between the molle rows etc.) or just by lengthening the 2 "adjustment straps", which are located inside the 2 shoulder thingies (sorry, don't know the right word)? Thank you! Link to post Share on other sites
Gigueand Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 I just wanted to drop in and say that the Flyye EPC in size small has the correct number of channels both height and width-wise. I actually own the small version. No pics from me, but here's a review of the size small version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yefuUp3jyM Link to post Share on other sites
