It’s been through 7 full kit outdoor handgun/rifle classes. Lots of movement involved in the classes… up, down, all around. Lots of vehicle scenarios, simulated shoot house drills, etc. A couple classes were rainy/muddy days… material held up 💪. I’ve had zero material or stitching failures. Only thing that broke, and it was early on, was the quick disconnect “tubes” for the cummerbund to front carrier attachment. Those were junk. I replaced them with True FirstSpear Tubes.
Have a 1991 Jeep Cherokee Laredo with a factory Jeep 56002467(1991) AM/FM Cassette Player and swapped out the tape modules in two 2467 cases. Now I have me some rocking tunes. Now what I need to know is what is the cause of either the left or right channel going out on a 2467 and on a 56009004(1992) the volume knob is maxed out but still need just a little bit more volume.
At the time this video was made… I do believe they were Amazon specials. 😂 I was getting a feel for the layout of my kit before dropping $ on name brand pieces.
@@thomasjtsigood deal. Gotta love trolls. I ended up buying this plate carrier and was pretty impressed with quality. Worth every penny for what I need. Nice review brother
@@thomasjtsi no plates yet. Hard to decide lol there are so many different companies and I’m Trying to get used to training with it first then I’ll add plates.
Depends on the size of your torso/chest. Will it fit… yes. Will it fit AND function? Maybe. This carrier has a lot of adjustability. It’s the 10x12 plate that goes in it that might pose a problem for your size.
Took every bit of slack out of them that I possibly could. That’s one thing I don’t like.. is how LOW this setup wants to ride if you don’t adjust it correctly.
I just received my Crusader 2.0 plate carrier and first thing i noticed during my setup is my shoulder pads dont have the elastic stow band. I have some little hook pile tape flaps. Im annoyed and have already reached out to Redemption Tactical. Anyone have a similar experience?
Damn… it’s already been a year!? 😳😂 The carrier has held up amazing! Other than replacing the quick release tabs on the sides with genuine First Spear Tubes, I haven’t had a single issue.
this is cool and can be used, but the NeoMag sentry strap is definitely superior. The fact that these mount with M-lok is interesting. The magnet system is just better, and you dont have a loop hanging off the gun after deployment. I would like to see something of a combination of both.
You’re very welcome! I’m glad this still helps people out after all these years. I also have a video on how to add factory cruise control to these Jeeps, too.
All carriers come with less or more coverage in the “shoulder pocket” area. This one is no different… and it’s not “minimalist” by any means. That being said, if you absolutely need to have your stock in the same “shoulder pocket” with the carrier on as you do without it… this is not the carrier for you. That’s where training with your kit comes into play. Finding what method works for you AND is repeatable efficiently. 💪
I have one of these in ranger green and it works perfectly with my H harness chest rig as well as the pouches I put on the front placard so I can have 2 different set ups for my rig depending on missions
That’s a tough thing to gauge… considering I’ve never been in a “real combat situation.” I can attest, however, that this carrier (with Lvl 4 plates) has held up very well through multiple all day rifle/carbine classes. For the price point… I’m extremely satisfied with it.
I have another full day class/course this weekend. I was planning on doing another video Sunday with my overall thoughts, so far. I’ll have it posted up Sunday night.
actually trying to do the opposite and installing the factory radio, getting rid of the aftermarket one. Does that ground on the factory radio simply need to be tied into the chassis?
The ground lead came from the factory wiring bundle. Should be there still… even with an aftermarket radio install. But yes, that is simply a chassis DC ground connection.
Definitely a valid concern. Snag points are always something to think about when choosing a piece of kit. That being said, I’ve yet to have anything snag or inadvertently open one of the connection points. I haven’t been rolling around in brush, though. 😂
6’2” 250#… this carrier will fit you. I’m 5’10” 175-180# and I have everything adjusted pretty far in. What you need to think about is whether or not your chest cavity size needs plates larger than 10x12. Which is what this carrier accommodates. If you need bigger 11x13 or 11x14, this company has similar carrier offerings that accept bigger plates.
After a few handgun/rifle classes I’ve yet to find any hindering flaws with this carrier. I’m not rolling around in a sandbox or fighting through thicket jungle, but I feel this carrier would be a good budget option for a personally purchased deployment/duty rig. 💪
i’m 6’1 185, would this fit me? a plate carrier i bought a month ago doesn’t fit me and i can’t find anywhere on it to tighten it. plus it’s cheap so i’m looking to get this, how do u tighten it? etc.
This carrier will definitely work for your body size. Considering your height/weight… your chest cavity isn’t large nor small. Lots of Velcro adjustability front and rear points of the cummerbund. So, I’d say order it.
@@jasonbourne5620 Gotcha. I’m not overly concerned with side plate protection, for myself, on this carrier. Mainly, I was pointing out that the mesh sides would be problematic for those wanting to run hard plates.
