Need help deciding between two plate carriers

[steelfallenangel]

Alright I feel it's time I hook myself up with a new chest rig.

This right here is the one I've been currently running.

Made by MFH and is of decent quality. Nylon throughout but I've ran it for a year and a half and haven't had any tears of splitting seams. But the overall ergonamics of it leave alittle to be desired.

I'm looking at these the ones to replace it.

I'm not going for a specefic impression and to my knowledge none of these are currently being used by any armed forced in any real way (maybe some training but thats it). The bottom two I know are made of 500 cordura so it should be a nice blend of durability and weight. That site doesn't normally ship outside of the EU but I have a friend in germany that will buy it on my behalf and ship it to me. They cost alittle more and will require two seperte shipping costs but it might be worth it.

The top one is the one I+'m alittle more interested with. It's not quite as expensive (not by much) can ship to me. But the build material isn't something I recongize. It's listed as being made of 100% polyamide. Don't really know where this lies inbetween say nylon and cordura (Edit, seems like it is nylon itself or some material in the same vein). That and the only review I could find on it was originally written i german and translated to english. Seemed like it was written by someone who got a free one since it really didn't go into much of a real breakdown on the quality of the product. The Lindnerhof on the other hand, I know the quality is there.

Can I get some second opinions from the MIA community.

Is Flektarn camo the only camo your looking at?

Currently yes, I dig it. It gives me a fair amount of concealment in woodlands (yes I know mutlicam and AOR are better) but is still a bit unique looking to differiant me from everyone running the more mainstream american camouflages.

I would honestly highly recommend the 3rd one. I have one of the Polish-made Dr Mervin clones of the abwerfbar III in 5-farb flecktarn, and its actually a rocking little rig. Let me know if and/or when you plan to make that HQG order, dude. School and other stuff have gotten in the way of me pouching mine up, but I'm about ready to go.

I remenber seeing something about Dr. Mervin builds But when I found him he mentioned he wasn't doing them anymore and that he was taking a break. I forgot about that option since I found so many people swearing by his builds. Is he still making them or has he officially moved over to only doing multicam?

I think you'd have to ask him yourself. If you aren't a member, you should go hit up German Impressions Gallery on facebook. A GREAT wealth of pics to fap to, as well as a lot of knowledgable Katzen when it comes to kraut gear.
