ezgil Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 just buy a damn LE CIRAS for that money Link to post Share on other sites
Sonny Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 I like the look of the Strike system, but I really wish there was more detail on how the cummerbund works, as well as how its "easily" removed and put back together. This looks a little more comfortable then a Ciras. Just not impressed by the price tag. I like the general shape this has. The molle area looks about the same as a ciras. Just wonder if the way its released and thos buckels with interfer with placement of pouches. Link to post Share on other sites

bad aim Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 It even vaguely resembles a CIRAS Link to post Share on other sites
Sonny Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 The day BHI make something BETTER or equal to Eagle, I shall eat my sweaty gym shorts. When I said it looks a little more comfortable then a ciras, I was referring to the area around the shoulders and neck. As much as I like my ciras, sometimes the shoulder pads can be too stiff. The Striker looks like it has a more natural flow around the neck, maybe giving some more comfort. Agreed tho that for that money better off just getting an Eagle. Id still be interested in seeing this in person. Link to post Share on other sites

Light Fighter Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Looking through their new catalogue I have to say that their new STRIKE Cutaway Plate Carrier actually looks really cool, and dosnt look all that bad for $300 (I'l get it cheaper from the local Blackhawk dealer ) Link to post Share on other sites
twonuts Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Being an owner and user of a Land CIRAS I'd have to say the fastex buckles-method of securing the cumberbuns looks a bit useless. At least with the land version if I had too much to eat for lunch I would be able to overlap less of the front area and readily adjust the vest in that manner. However, with the way these fastex buckles work, you wouldn't be able to freely adjust the vest as pouches or doodads would be blocking it... If they copied the release system from Eagle (which i'm sure they did) then maybe it won't be so bad... I agree with what most of you are saying, for the money get the Eagle LE carrier as the ability to quickly release the vest in an Airsoft game is almost non-existent and the cool factor of being able to do just that in front of your friends wears out once you have to put it back together...

doc_newstead Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 As someone who knows as much about modular systems as I do about quantum physics (I only got a 2.1), it seems to me that those QR buckles are taking up valuable room on the front of the vest. Don't people tend to stick pouches on the front of these things? Assuming that is the front of course; I figured the grab handle would be on the back y'see. Link to post Share on other sites
JCYC5 Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 I agree... the back does look more like the front than the front does. Link to post Share on other sites
doc_newstead Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Oh so the buckles are on the back? Well that's better I suppose. Still, all very odd. Link to post Share on other sites
Magsz Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 At first i thought the back was the front. Then i realized that the fastex buckles are located on the back. I think this is a fairly decent design however, i really think that the fastex buckles on the back are a HUGE mistake. Falling on six fastex buckles is going to hurt in a massive way.

Fullauto Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 I'm pretty sure the fastex buckles are on the front (drag handle on back, admin pile on the front and lower cut neckline). Quite odd placement, but I'm sure they work alright (after all, if you need to get the carrier off in a hurry, you can pull the quick release cable). It's interesting and always good to see new products on the market. Link to post Share on other sites
Magsz Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Good observation fullauto, the back is indeed the part without the fastex buckles. Hrmph, strange design but still very cool. The upper portion of the vest appears to "flow". It looks very comfy indeed. Link to post Share on other sites
AirForceOne Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 I suppose it slightly resembles the TAG Spartan... Link to post Share on other sites
