I actually have that in OD already and I can't stand it. The clip doesn't stay tight and getting the radio in and out is a pain in the ass. I have it adjust real small for my talkabout, so I'll have to expand it a little bit and see if I hate it as much with the Icom. You're right about the BHI pouch, it's no looker.

How do you like the shoulder pads on there? I have one and I found that they tended to rub against my neck since they are quite wide. Why not just use a regular m4 pouch for the radio if you are running something pretty small like an icom? Another option are the crye JPC mbitr pouches, but they may be kinda big for an icom. I have them (they come in a set) for my mbitr and they keep the radio out of the way nicely since the mayflower cummerbund doesn't have the radio pockets like the 6094. Here's a pic of my APC

Thanks, the patch is baller . I ordered the vest thinking Khaki was a light brown (like tan), it seems more OD (Olive Drab) to me, ohwell. Still a huge upgrade.

Well the first time I saw khaki in real life it looked way greener than in the pictures. For some reason pictures of khaki always turn out looking lighter.

It always depends on the brand. Condor's tan is really yellow. FLYYE's khaki is pretty close to Eagle's khaki, and both definitely have a tinge of green in them. FLYYE, Pantac, and EI compared here: miairsoft.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=gear&action=display&thread=41264ctres, Sorry, I saw your post when you made it but wasn't able to respond and totally forgot. I actually like the shoulder pads. They do rub my neck a bit, but when I have a collared top on they're not bad at all. They're much better than the shoulders on my EPC, and I can't really compare them to the CIRAS because the APC fully loaded weighs as much as the CIRAS did empty. So far, the APC is the most comfortable vest I've used.

Yeah, I found that the shoulder pads aren't too bad with a collar, but I found that due to their being really thin and flexible they really didn't do anything to help with weight distribution or comfort in my experience. They just had so little to them that they didn't do anything to spread out the load at all so I just run without them. As far as comfort, I guess the APC is fine, but I didn't really find it remarkable. There are some features such as comms routing and built in radio pouches in the pockets in the cummerbund that I would like to see, but they aren't such a big deal. I am currently selling mine though to give the JPC a try, partly for its features, but mainly because it fits my impression better. I have also been interested lately in the eagle MMAC which is pretty much like the LBT 6094 or Eagle DPC but with a crye style built in mag pouch. I think it looks really sweet and extremely functional. If you haven't seen it, check it out. It's definitely on my list for down the road. www.eagleindustries.com/products/detail.aspx?id=231

I wanted to go really light with this so I tried to keep it bare bones till I find a vest I like. -Pantac Tan armor -Tan hunting vest, holds MP5k and SR25 mags quite well. -Painted Tan Knee Pads -Revision Bullet Ant Goggles -Nike Hat

Actually no, I picked that up before Northern Light last year. I just never get to play with the bebeh here, so it looks brand new.
