Warrior Assault Systems RICAS compact review
15 February, 2014, 19:23
Hi every one,
Ive got a WAS elite ops 901 chest rig and back panel but more and more im looking at purchasing the WAS elite ops Ricas compact.
Ive seen a few reviews youtube but they focus on the pouches that came with the RICAS and not really the RICAS itself.
Here is my request airsofters:
Can anyone recommend a review/ If you have a WAS RICAS compact can you comment on what its like, sizing etc
Thanks in advance :D

Re: Warrior Assault Systems RICAS compact review
I used an OD WAS 901 until I changed to a tan RICAS compact and I love it. I like having fake plates in to give make it more rigid. The RICAS feels more secure and thus easier to work with and it distributes the weight of everything very evenly allowing me to carry a lot of stuff on it. (I'm the polar opposite to the high speed low drag belt rig set ups) But even if you arn't putting cargo pack on the back with a 2.5L hydration bladder, 6 stanags 4 pistol mags 2 bfgs its still a great carrier. Firm, comfortable and much nicer quality than all the clones. With regard to RICAS vs. RICAS Compact. I'm of a medium build, and 6ft tall and the compact is still a little bit, I have to loose two rows of molle under the velcro panel at the front for a nice snug fit. I've tried on standard RICAS and even when you open up the back and tighten it lots its still rather loose and looks silly when you have velcro poking out where you've tightened it loads. So if you are a medium stick with compact anything above that and a standard might work better for you but the compact is so adjustable it could easily accommodate for a large player. Hope this helps

Re: Warrior Assault Systems RICAS compact review
I'm a 2 / 3 XL and used a RICAS Compact and found it fitted and was very comfortable. The build quality is excellent, hell Warrior kit is used by the forces. I'd recomend it or the DCS for a more minimal PC. Me I went back to Chest Rigs, carries everything I need for airsoft.
The laptop is mightier than the pistol.

Re: Warrior Assault Systems RICAS compact review
thanks for the advice fellas.
This may sound daft but does it have the 3-d spacer material in it to wick sweat like the 901 set up ?

I agree with Al, I'd very much like a slim and sexy DCS. So if you get the option I think they look cooler and probably function better.
