As above but for plates a lot of rif boxes have 1 inch foam in it, good for cutting out to plate size...

This has been asked a few times.

The general answers were:

Camping mats
Carpet
cardboard etc

Personally though I actually cut out Wooden shaped plates for my ospery.

How about trying carpet underlay? You would need about a meters worth so about a fiver and would make about, what 4 inserts? Hmmm might try that.

What about the weight?
Especialy if it gets wet, might be like lugging a suitcase around all the time.

Camping roll mat is light and waterproof.

Re: padding for vests??

lol nah I got mine second hand and it came with none. The shame seems fine but then all I have on it is a camel back and a dump pouch so maybe when I have some mag pouches on it I'll need something so who knows?!
