Anyone have any minimalist plate carrier set ups they like?
I know people give them shit, but I have 2 Condor sentry carriers. Both came in packages for free so they were initially just bonus items I never thought I'd use.
One has been used and abused in the gym with level 3 plates in it for 2 years at least 2 times a week. Still looks great, no stitching breaks or runs. I run Murph (not well lol) in it at least once a month, do a lot of burpees, and do sand bag training which constantly rubs the outside of it.
The other is rigged up as an active shooter/oh shit carrier for work. Armorbak on the back, 3 AR mags 2 pistol mags, and a CAT 7 up front. I train with it here and there in the mud, snow, rain, and dirt. Has held up well. Nice cheap carrier I can throw around in the truck and not have to care about what it looks like or anything.
I liked them so much I bought a MOPC and have it all loaded out. I always used to shit on Condor. Price and quality are right for me.
Edit: wow just looked up the prices on the MOPC and Sentry. Sentry can still be had for 50 bucksish, MOPC is up to 75 on eBay and over 100 elsewhere. Crazy. Still relatively cheap, but the MOPC used to be 50.
