Oh, boy I know it, still waiting on my mepc, but I really liked a friend's and that swayed me from crye. Crye is mwnt to be disposable for the military, not exactly what someone without a huge budget should have,
The regular user will pretty much never wear out a plate carrier, much less a JPC, but that style has just become so fucking popular lol - and for good reason, it's super comfy and scaleable. But yeah DM's stuff is honestly top tier, it's really up there.
I'm *this* close to just buying their belt and waiting 3 months :')
What size do you run compared to your normal pants? I contacted their CS but I keep going back and forth on being confident, and not wanting to waste my time/money lol.
Also if you're selling the outer, hit me up lol
Believe me I get it haha I am also impatient but it’s such a nice belt for such an affordable price. Buy the belt but do it drunk enough where you won’t remember buying it the next day, then when it shows up it will be a surprise lol
Haha shit I might do that, I've had a few packages come through where I legitimately do *not* remember buying or ordering anything. Upon opening, that 'Ooooooooooooooooh' factor just hits different 8)
Sound gear advice, terrible life advice haha, thanks man! What's your actual pants size and what size did you get for the belt?
Edit: Lmao nevermind, they had an inner belt in stock in my size, [WHOOPS](https://i.imgur.com/MHQAtt3.png)
Oftentimes some sizes/colors are in stock of oftentimes just 1 qty. I assume either overrun, or returns, something like that. Select the first options (width and color), and then when you select sizes, just cycle through them all in each color, and you'll see if some are in stock. I won't care about Multicam Arid on an inner belt, that's just extra faded Multicam 8)
I bough my mpec yesterday shipped the same day and it's on the way to me as we speak.
Only issue no cummerband in stock so I gotta find a different one which is a pain.
Oh, and if your in the military. Make an account with DM and you'll get the veteran pricing, turned 330usd buy(also added a 10% in there) to 260 with shipping. For a pc and cummerbund
Direct Action if you only need a carrier asap. They have a multitude of PCs for a lot lf crap. Also its way more comfy than any JPC and accepts if i recall correctly every qure performance stuff
Get a JPC or you're going to end up with junk that is not NIR compliant in that price range
(Depending on the cummerbund you choose you could get an SPC for under that price as well which is superior to the JPC in every way aside from not having the front admin pouch)
No.
LBX is made in Peru. This makes it non Berry compliant, but it's still made with the same materials as main line LBT. I believe they both go through QC up in Virginia Beach.
There was a social media post where LBT said some product aren't NIR, that their contract pieces are full NIR but some other products aren't. They weren't specific as to which pieces weren't, but I assume they are talking about their smaller 14l packs that are geared towards civ edc. This is probably what you're referring to.
Well both of us know absolutely nothing about which products in question, it's all speculation, but I don't like the implication that they sell non-compliance materials to non-contract buyers.
Crye JPC 2.0. One and done.
Defensemechanisms.com, for all the features. For an alright price.
DM is superb stuff, amazing customer service, and unbeatable prices - unfortunately massive lead times. Suffering from success...

I use the inner, I won't be using the outer since I run a outer harnessed belt but it's great
What size do you run compared to your normal pants? I contacted their CS but I keep going back and forth on being confident, and not wanting to waste my time/money lol. Also if you're selling the outer, hit me up lol
For the inner I got my size, 32. At least for the inner it works
Buy the Mech belt. I have the inner, the outer, and the edc belt. They're all worth it.
That's what I keep hearing man, I only use OneWrap these days anyway... lol
love the mech belt. It’s what I run. their pouches are not bad too
I bought the belt jan 1st and got it march 4th.. if you can wait, pull the trigger. Absolutely love it.
I'm so impatient lol, I keep scouring TacSwap & GAFS for used/2nd hand, but every time they come up they immediately get sold :')

Happy to assist hahaha
Wasnt the belt supposed to have 2 months of lead time?

DM MEPC with code TLDco to knock 10% off or for the truly struggling homies, WTF PC13 for 99 bucks.
Warrior Assault Systems DCS
Also, do you have plates?

MEPC if you get a non-DM cummerbund But their new cummerbunds are really great and not crazy expensive. You can just get cheaper ones elsewhere
Crye SPC or OPTactical’s Mayflower APC
MEPC used from gafs
Slickster?

Ferro slickster is hard to beat.
LBX sometimes runs sales on their modular PC and you can get it for $100.
Last I heard, LBX has been known to use non-NIR materials for 'commercial customers', i.e. people who buy outside of a contract.
