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.

The bags on the front are heavy duty stitched with wrap around bungee cord tighteners to keep ammo or mags in. Also they have a vertical clip strap on each bag and Velcro on the flap. Their is a loop system on the front and rear of the bag not sure if that is considered the molle system or not. Hope this helps.

Yes it comes with a nylon molle compatible sheath with a pocket for a whetstone or small survival or blowout (med) kit. I've got mine on the left shoulder of my plate carrier.

Just to clarify for some people, it does have the MOLLE webbing on the back but it doesn't have straps to attach this pouch to another MOLLE equip item so you will need your own method to attach it to a bag or vest (paracord, malice or one of the many other products or methods out there).

This vest isn't really for protection, if you want something more padded get an airsoft plate carrier and add the pouches later

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 vest itself is covered in MOLLE strapping meant for additional pouches, magazine holders, etc. For something like a name tape or a patch you will want to add a strip of velcro yourself.

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.

Yes. But I was not very impressed with this product. I didn't bother returning since it wasn't prime. I would not recommend. Instead, purchase a simple molle rig then add pouches. This rig is heavy.

It attaches to the leg platform via a Velcro strap not unlike the us army issued pistol holder. I used this certain design with my spec ops uniform an issued gear. But I attached it to my pack or my belt it won't fit with the Alis straps or molle gear. The Velcro strap is too wide but it will fit on the side of a IOTV vest.

Hi Daren, No the LLC does not include the chest plate. Amazon only carries the LLC itself. Wish the other "accessories" could be purchased on Amazon as it's kind of a pain to have to search around for the other pieces. Anyway go to Signature k-9 to look for the "chest plate" as well as "paks". Also keep in mind the girth of your k9 as you could potentially need the extension straps for the vest itself. You will not be disappointed with the quality of Sig k9's goods!

Yes, but only on the front center pouch. This is a decent vest if you like where the "hardwired" pouches are put and how they are sized. Since they are stitched in, there is no flexibility to where they go or how they can be rearranged.....they are set permanently in place where they are. The jury is still out in my opinion.....as I have other options......but again, it's always good to have options.

The quality is good. All the molle fits mil spec pouches. The pouches that come with it fit ar mags securely and It hold my 1911 secure in the drop leg holster. I have had it for a year and its holding up good. It's fully adjustable and will fit over a plate carrier comfortably. It's solid and comfortable.

A Kevlar duty vest insert will not fit properly on the inside....I have a duty vest also, the shoulders do not fit, I have tried many different ways and it just doesn't match up..However there is a lot of room for trauma plates. Front and back plates fit ok, side plates tend to shift a little ....This vest is ok for a Chinese knock off..Definitely some better quality vest out there on the market, but it's a good back up tactical vest...Also the vest sits a little low, leaving more of my upper chest area vulnerable?

The pouches are decent sized and can be double stacked if you have to. The vest itself is a pullover only. There is no Velcro or zippers on the front that let you put the vest on like a jacket. Pouches are decent sized and quality. Overall it's a decent vest for the money.

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.

it should fit almost any plate carrier/vest. and even if it doesn't fit perfectly, it has two sets of MOLLE straps, one pair on top and one pair on the bottom, so that even if it just hung by the top pair it should be on there well enough and you could put a belt through the bottom pair if that'd be more comfortable/secure.
