Which plate carrier?

[chillsie]

Hi guys,
I am looking to buy a plate carrier and i have heard good things on the warrior ricas but it is a little out of my price range, i have seen a fantanstic deal on a german camo retailer but i do not like the camo. I would prefer it to be in either OD or TAN

cheers

BULLE make good kit as do Pantac. Look around on here for a second hand one if money is a bit tight.

Warrior rigs always come up for sale. If the RICAS is out of your price range look around for a RICAS compact or a RPC-7

Yeah, same thing as the Warrior basically.

Made in the same factory IIRC.

Warrior and Templar gear are both top nop notch so can't go wrong with either. I prefer warrior myself as a few pouches and rigs have ever so slightly different features and I love the ricas compact design!

As has been said, Warrior gear is very popular so always pops up on the forums. Worth waiting for in my opinion.

I might be tempted to look at some 5.11 stuff as well. Not putting a downer on anything else that's been mentioned but more choice is always better, right?
