Several years of experience in the tactical field as a sales representative and sport shooter. After a few minutes of dicking around with the JPC, i was more than happy with the overall build quality. Put correctly weighted dummy plates inside and use it for your training sessions. Feel free to check out our policies anytime for more information. Up front, you secure them with the flap like the normal cummerbund. The size of the vest usually needs to correspond with the size of the plates. I see that it is very good quality for this amount of money. This review was made possible by our friends over at WEAPON 7.62. Two plastic cinch buckles, one on each side of the lower edges of the back panel make adjustment fast and easy. Depending on your needs, these can be mounted vertically or horizontally on the cummerbund and you can do that by the means of these front carriers.The cummerbund itself is lined with soft plastic for added stiffness. In conclusion, i would recommend this plate carrier to any reenactment player that is looking for a budget replica of a real JPC. It’s this authors opinion, that the items produced by TMC are perfectly acceptable for their intended use, which is airsoft/reenactment. Some manufacturers even offer a shotgun shell holder which has the hook part sewn to the back. No need to damage your precious ballistic protection, when you can bash and roll around in a replica. When not in use, these tabs can be closed flat to minimise snagging possibilities. We’ll keep an eye on its performance and report back if anything unexpected happens. I could really try and stuff them in, but the material would be over-stretched and thus prone to premature wear and tear.Moving to the sides, the JPC features a “skeletal” cummerbund. Two on each side. Even after manually trying to tear a molle loop from it’s base, i was just left with sore hands. Also, if you want to connect with WEAPON 7.62, you can go over to their facebook page HERE an give them a thumbs up. I’m looking at you, “Tactical Lightweight Armor Plate Carrier Vest” from a company that shall remain unmentioned. The Crye JPC shares this “flaw” with this replica though. A very welcome feature, as they do not interfere with other gear like backpacks or weapon systems. Also included are the front and back dummy protective plates. It also comes with Lightweight laser cut Molle front panel. Getting into the details, let’s start from the top. The ventilation mesh part is also a bit different, but other than that, it’s a perfect replica.The stitching is above average, almost perfect. On this JPC, a few loose ends of thread were visible but nothing critical. Not a terrible thing, since this only helps to secure the mounted pouch. After rough handling and testing, it stayed exactly the same. The carrier as a whole felt quite rugged and sturdy. Outdoor and armament enthusiast, hailing from Slovenia. These sleeves also feature two drinking tube/comm wiring management tabs. While the ballistic protection compartment it’s not reinforced on the inside like on the Crye one, the stretchy material still feels like it’s of high quality. All in all, the back offers a 6×5 matrix with a four loop line up top and some smaller loops on the sides.
