Choices- belt/vest/more

[Sniper12]

Ok

My options are to either get a decent belt kit, and a backpack, or an assualt vest.

I need to carry, food, ammo, water, gas, a pistol, tools, my rifle, and around 4 m4 mags.

What do you guys think in terms of practicality and cost.

Cheers

Get a load bearing vest, you can add tonnes of molle pouches.

Re: Choices- belt/vest/more

So costly though

Re: Choices- belt/vest/more

you can get a Warrior CIRAS compact in tan or OD, fully kitted with pouches for £100.
There is another option to have it 100% maxed out with every possible pouch you could ever want or fill, but that costs more.

One has

Holds 10 x 5.56mm SA80 / M4 style Mags
1 x Medium Medic / Utility Pouch
1 x Small Medic / Utility Pouch
1 x Admin Pouch

While the uber leet one has:
2 x Double NSR 5.56mm pouches ( 8 mags )
1 x Medium Utility Pouch
1 x Small Utility Pouch
1 x Command Panel
1 x Double Pistol Pouch
1 x Cargo Pack
1 x New Adjustable Radio Pouch
1 x Smoke Grenade pouch
2 x Frag Grenade Pouch
1 x Small Vertical Pouch
1 x Open Mag Pouch 5.56mm

Belt rig, and a MOLLE 3Day pack so you can thread some pouches on if you need some more equipment that's easy to reach. I recommend this simply because you can take the weight off if you need to.

Re: Choices- belt/vest/more

For that lot I'd go with PLCE
You can pick it up quite cheaply and anything you cant fit in it you dont really need.
Failing that theres US ALICE webbing.

They may not be the gucciest options but for carrying the amount of stuff you listed you cant go far wrong.

Re: Choices- belt/vest/more

i think they look crap, and yes I am probably gonna go for PLCE but would it match my m4? Evansy YHPM

Re: Choices- belt/vest/more

quick answer, yes it would

[jagillham]

Re: Choices- belt/vest/more

What's the budget for this?

Sounds like you need a backpack for that lot of kit :D

Right you are, but ebay it and you can find it even cheaper than that in some cases

Re: Choices- belt/vest/more

My budget is a max of around £80 max, i gotta carry food, i am thinking a belt with kit, and a harness, with a small 20ltr back pack strapped to it?
