I have Marpat BDU's and was wondering what color plate carrier I should get. I've seen people (even ex-Marines who play airsoft) wearing OD vests and plate carriers with Marpat. But on the other hand, i've also seen pics of Marines wearing Tan/Coyote vests and plate carriers. I think both look good but i'm not sure what to choose.
If some one could tell me what looks better and/or more realistic, that would be great.

You want Coyote Brown if you're going to be wearing MARPAT. It is worth checking out the guide linked in my signature if you're interested in doing Marine Force Recon. For standard grunt stuff, you still want Coyote Brown, but the choice of vests is different.

Ok, I am someone who has a relativly low budget. On Airsoft GI (which is where I buy a lot of my gear from) Condor Outdoor has the lowest priced gear thats a good quality but it's Tan. Pantac is more expensive and they have Coyote. And i want to go with the same brand for pouches as well but I know Pantac is going to more expensive.
So I have an idea, should I get a Tan plate carrier with Coyote pouches? The reason for that is because Marpat has Coyote and Tan in it.
And I did read your guide before i posted this thread up.

Save your money, score a Flyye or Pantac rig in CB.

I suggest trying to save your money and get a Coyote Brown Rig (with pouches) that is either Pantac or Flyye Brand. A big rule of thumb when it comes to airsoft (in most cases) is, "You get what you pay for".
So the choice is really yours on what you want to do. If you're looking for something rather cheap and already loaded with all the pouches you need check ebairsoft.com
Just remember, the quality may be a little lacking, but you get what you pay for.

Ok, thanks. I have nothing else to say, I'm gonna have to go with Condor though because it's less expensive. I also own a black MPS plate carrier made by Condor as well as 2 dump pouches and an Admin pouch and the work great.

I think it is going to be smarter for you to go with an ebaybanned rig instead of Condor. It is going to be just about the same quality, will come with all the pouches you need, and will be in CB not tan. Go for something like this: www.ebairsoft.com/cirs-normal-version-p-1395.htmlI have heard a lot of mixed reviews on that item. Some say it can not adjust well, some say it works fine. But, I guess if that is all you can afford, then go for it. Really though, the best thing to do is save up and go for something like this: www.shootercbgear.com/product_info.php?products_id=676You're going to notice a large difference in stitching, color, adjust-ability, etc. If you can't afford it now, save up. That is the best advice I can give you.

The Flyye plate carrier looks awesome!!! I just totaled up the plate carrier and pouches for the Condor set-up and it is $20 less! So i'll definetly save $20 more for the Flyye plate carrier. It's actually $10 more but i need an XL so it's $20 more. Thanks for showing me!

No problem man, you may also want to check shop.ehobbyasia.com
They also carry Flyye items and their prices man/may not end up coming out cheaper then from shootercbgear.

It doesn't mesh well with flecktarn but most woodland based US and English camo's it looks dead sexy with. If you don't want a digital camo, but don't want to wear standard US woodland, I would reccommrnd DPM. It's fantastic. When I get a camera I'll upload some test pics.

Ya, i already have a black vest for a SWAT loadout. All i need now to complete that is black BDUs, black boots, and black goggles. I got Marpat for field games so i'll obviously use black for CQB.
