Outer vest carrier for issued soft armor - suggestions/opinions

[Coyotesfan97]

I wear a http://survivalarmor.com Survival Armor outer carrier with their body armor. Our local shop can get a specific carrier for K9 use. The closest one I can see on the website is the Mil Tac vest. you can buy the carrier or get a package deal with the armor.

That looks like what I am thinkin, way too tacticool, but may work with a little modification

Regarding Survival Armor- After a demo shoot last year, during which the rep was refreshingly candid, I bought ~12 armor packages across a range of sizes to give them a try. The process was smooth, delivery times average. Like other companies, panels were shorter than I like but the officers like them. There were no returns for adjustment. Custom panels spec'ed were correct with no BS from the reps or factory. This was one of the best armor buys I've had in many years.

Our rep has an outstanding working relationship with Survival Armor. His shop is less than a half mile from our office. He has taken ideas from SWAT and K9 and gone to Survival to implement them. He retired from LE and was a full time SWAT guy. My carrier and vest were measured by him and the fit was excellent. He measured my squad for our new entry vests last month. They should be here in September.

So I've been doing research and the blauer armorskin tacvest seems to be the cheapest tryout.

Have you looked at suspenders at all? Probably help more than an external carrier. I've worn a back defender for the last 5 years and the thing is awesome...

A coworker has a set of the invisible ones that attach as keepers. He said they are good, I might look into them.

We are allowed to have outer carriers in the winter, and they are not giving anyone any issue with continuing to wear them throughout the summer. Getting stuff off my belt is the goal.

SKD is about to drop a slick combo at 30% off this noon. It's the Paraclete LVBC *WITH* the 3A BALCS from point blank. Usual colors. Size large only.
