Thoughts on the Ferro Concepts Plate Carrier?

[Bota 5]

Hey everyone!

Today I wanted to know your thoughts on the FCPC. Does anyone have one? If so what are your thoughts? It would cost me upwards of 400 bucks, So I wanted to know your thoughts. Also how much different is it from the banshee plate carrier? I own the banshee and I like it, But its still a little big, And it kinda chokes me when I tighten it up. The FCPC looks trim, and theres no excess material on the rig. What do you think?

$400 is quite a bit.  There are much cheaper alternatives on the market that can accomplish the mission for a quarter of the price (like the knockoff JPCs).  Are there particular reasons you like this specific plate carrier over anything else or are you just starting to look?

 

 

At any rate, it is your money and you may do with it what you like.  I personally think you'd be better off buying a JPC clone or something of the sort and spending the rest of the money on pouches/slings/goodies.

I would get the Mayflower APC instead.

I agree with Dave. That's a tad excessive for a PC.

Thanks guys! My brother has a knockoff JPC, and I find it very blocky, and Im concerned about the shoulder straps on it. Also The cummerbund is weird. I like the idea of a elastic cummerbund rather than it paracorded on or whatever on the back. And the mayflower APC looks a little big for me. And Ill look out for that review, Hurricane! I think Im going to buy the FCPC. Its like gut feeling, . And with taking off some unnecessary stuff, Its only about 250. (The FCPC is completely modular)
