Krydel Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 http://www.warriorassaultsystems.com/elite-ops-range/amour-carriers/ricas-compact/ricas-compact-plate-carrier-combos-a-tacs-fg/ricas-compact-base-a-tacs-fg/ http://www.nightgear.co.uk/Condor-Outdoor-Modular-Operator-Harness/5178355ng.htm?colour=ATACS+FG These are the two i've come across so far. For some reason the WAS Ricas Compact seems to have a weird interpretation of ATACS FG on the molle bits, but then I suspect it might fit a bit better than the Condor, which is M-XL although adjustable. I'm only 5'6" and wear small/medium clothing. Any recommendations/testimonials? Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 The WAS rig uses the correct ATACS-FG webbing. The condor is probably decent enough but just looking at the pictures the quality difference is clearly there. I think at 5'6 you'd quite possibly struggle with both of them size wise, the RICAS Compact is very 'tall' by modern standards. I'd definitely put the DCS in front of the RICAS-C: http://www.uktactical.com/p-8086-warrior-dcs-plate-carrier-base-a-tacs-fg.aspx Without spending hours searching, this would be my initial recommendation: http://www.ur-tactical.com/index.php/component/virtuemart/view/productdetails/virtuemart_product_id/1488/virtuemart_category_id/147 Not an enormous amount of load carriage kit in FG out there comparatively, certainly not a great deal in the UK.

Krydel Posted March 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Huh, guess I got told. If its correct then I'll quit moaning and embrace it for its authenticity. Might put condor to the bottom of my list for now then. Isn't the DCS just going to be bigger than the RICAS C? (DCS being Dynamic Combat System, right, not compact?) I'll look into the second link - looks quite small at first glance - they're in the UK here so definitely an option: http://www.hueys.co.uk/epages/es151784.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/es151784/Products/%22OPS%20Easy%20PC%20-%20A-TACS%20FG%22 Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 'Compact' is a misnomer given the context, it only relates to the original plain RICAS which was even bigger than the Compact. Link to post Share on other sites
Smoke Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Although I'm 6'1", I make the Grim Reaper look fat... I manage with the WAS RICAS Compact ok. Putting foam 'soft armour' in there helps fill it out a bit if it's hanging off you . Link to post Share on other sites
