Does the main vest include pouches for standard 10"x12" body armor plates? Does anyone know of a molle plate carrier pouch if not?

Nope, no place for armor plates on this vest, although you could fit it over one with minimal problems I think. There are quite a few armor carriers though, have a look at these:http://www.amazon.com/Tactical-Tailor-Profile-Carrier-X-Large/dp/B00EMG4WES/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1393176210&sr;=8-1&keywords;=Armor+Carrierhttp://www.amazon.com/Blackhawk-S-T-R-I-K-E-Carrier-Cordura-32V504BK-CTS/dp/B004U5L4HO/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid;=1393176210&sr;=8-7&keywords;=Armor+Carrier15710 - Strike Cut Carrier Mesh Blk Xl

No this is a standard type of load bearing vest that is some what generic in nature. If you buy you will need to tweak the vest to make it fit. Still a good deal though. But in stalling plates is not an option.

I would agree with TacJ that the rear is narrow enough that a pouch holding 45lbs may be too much. A butt pack such as the maxpedition proteus (small 270 cu in) or sabercat (large 600 cu in) might fit nicely. If I need to carry more, I simply thow my pack over the vest.

The rig is OD Green. The pouches are NOT removeable. There are 6 inches of space avaialbe on each side of the mag pouches to attach additional Molle gear(dump bag, med kit or another pouch.)

You can buy 5 lbs plates at most sporting goods store. FYI, the pouches on the vest ripped so not sure if I'd recommend it.

No. 2 5.56 mags are tight. Personall id go with a molle load bearing vest. You can configure it mission based and a vest is easier to throw on.

Hey Mario, the harness is impressive. Depending on your needs you can get diamondback tactical pouches MOLLE adaptable for either side. I separately picked up velcro and respective patches. My boy Marty is 50 lbs and is warm and extremely comfortable in the vest. He's a lab shepherd mix and tolerates the harness fine. He actually prefers it. No rubbing or friction into his skin. Like I had mentioned, pick up some pouches for either side you have about 7-9 inches to work with. Enjoy

First I'd like to say that it's completely irresponsible for the retailer not to provide the technical information on the goods. Unbelievable, in fact. What's the matter with these people?I bought one recently and there are identical pouches on either side of the bar. Each pouch is 5½" long, 4" high and 1½" wide inside. Each pouch has a sort of flat mesh pocket on the outside that is 5" x 3½". I use mine to carry the rechargeable battery for my Cateye light. I've only ridden with it a couple of times. My knees bump it if I stand up to climb a hill.

Yes..it has two zipper handles...but it has straps that are attached, so you would have to run it horizontally thru your molle pack.i dont think it would mount on a regular belt that way though

The back of the pack has two molle capable straps. There are two rows of molle on the back for the straps to go into and they have a snap fastener. Depending on the configuration you do, there is a 5 inch, 3 inch, and 1.25 inch space for room for a belt. However, the smaller the spacing, the higher the pack will ride on the belt, and there will be less security. And no matter how you wear it there will always be just the 2 buttons holding the pack on.

It has a Velcro flap on the backside that can be adjusted for any size belt you wear. It is approximately 3 inches by 3 inches. I have had mine for along time and it still performs very well. I can place my weapon in the rear pouch, my phone in the middle pouch and a magazine and small knife in the zipper pouch.

I don't really know.....but your not going to have any trouble putting everything u need in it. I also bought sustainment pouches that MOLLE to the sides of the pack. Look up Sustainment pouches. They have them in all patterns.

Yes, it shows a bit. I use a plate with an operator cut. It doesnt bother me at all. I think its a good affordable option, and great for light duty use. This particular vest does not have an option for a back plate.

Hello, The only molle portion is under the pistol holster once removed. The other pouches are sewn onto the vest and cannot be removed.

I don't know how bulky your vest is but I can say this. The standard plate that came with my holster was pinching the crap out of me. I got this extension and it feels great. Doesn't pinch me and it put my duty weapon at a more efficient level for my draw. I would imagine it would be good with any type of vest. Hope this helps.

I tried and it is really awkward and isn't tactical or practical on a belt. My advice is to get a molle vest or plate carrier for this. I used it on one of my old plate carriers and it is effing sweet. Practical and tactical. Its not big and bulky and is easy to use. Durable too. Hope this helps

They are not. I think Condor does make one without the pouches though. You can also check out HSGI.US for chest rigs. They are VERY good quality and made in USA. I use their mag pouches for my plate carrier.

The vest itself is made from nylon and enables you to carry Mags, optics, etc. It does not contain SAPI plates or Kevlar. Do you honestly think that a ballistic vest can cost 30 dollars?
