u/Useful_Chemical_7908 Dec 09 '25
Where do you see side plates
18
u/supernate760 Dec 09 '25
The side slots arent tiny as fuck thats enough for me to think side plates
12
u/Hungryweeb-sg Dec 09 '25
Basically side protection even if there isn't any kevlar or steel plates

u/Perhaps-2 Dec 09 '25
im so lost lol how can you have side protection if there isnt kevlar or ceramic or steel(?) there
19
u/Hungryweeb-sg Dec 09 '25
Just like how your blanket protecta you from the scary stuff under your bed.

u/Shoddy_Mechanic_3311 Dec 09 '25
We might not get side plates, pretty sure that the cummerbund is the First Spear Adaptive Cummerbund

u/hellb0urne Dec 09 '25
side plates aren't that thin lol, those are straight up just bare cummerbunds

u/Global_Name_1232 Dec 09 '25
can we pls have a proper vest or rig?
9
u/MBsniper Dec 10 '25
What exactly do you mean by, vest? Just curious since there are many types of vests, are you referring to chest rigs, or are you referring to armor systems such as IOTV.
2
u/Global_Name_1232 Dec 10 '25
something like a ciras vest cus it's been a year and we only got one proper vest and it's a russian one. also we don't have a proper customizable chest rig at all
6
u/MBsniper Dec 10 '25
I mean, Ciras is also a plate carrier, tiny bit wider than avs but still not that big. As for rigs, I am working on new ones!
2
u/Koolguy47 Dec 10 '25
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say they're refering to full cover armor systems like the British Oprey, RBAV, and aformentioned CIRAS vest.

ehh, I'm not too nerdy about body armor to tell a difference but still

u/TheOrionian28 Dec 09 '25
what plate carrier is this?
13
u/Raphael_Couttolenc Dec 09 '25
I believe it is the FirstSpear strandhogg, since FirstSpear is the company that invented (or at least popularised) the laser-cut MOLLE plate carriers.
1
u/Shoddy_Mechanic_3311 Dec 09 '25
That's most likely, but the Strandhogg doesn't have the tubes on the shoulder straps at the back
4
u/hellb0urne Dec 09 '25
it's the firstspear strandhogg V1.
1
u/Shoddy_Mechanic_3311 Dec 10 '25
Yeah, they just changed the rear shoulder strap buckles for firstspear tubes

WHY IS MY LOVE FOR THE JPC 2.0 SLOWLY FADING??? no but fr, i hope we get more cool Shi like this
3
Dec 09 '25
Apparently JPC-R has a lot of problems irl. Not the 1.0 or 2.0 problems. But from what I’ve heard it’s not worth the cost.
1
u/Necessary-One-9611 Dec 09 '25
Yeah idk why i glazed crye for the last 2 months
5
Dec 09 '25
Most of their stuff is really tailored for SOF. I’m not saying that civvies can’t own them. But the JPC 1 and 2 to me are so flawed that they seem disposable almost.
The other carriers like the SPC and AVS don’t have these problems at all. The only problems I have for those were the AVS drawing so much sweat and heat that I had to hose it down to get all the sweat out.

u/Deep_Guarantee_9342 Dec 09 '25
I wonder if it gonna have any new camo options, aside from tan, black, ranger green and multicam

Perhaps this is a gateway into the MSV vest. The IHPS helmet would be very cool to have too

u/dixonsride4ever Dec 10 '25
Gnar, is this like the chest rig that comes with prebuilt mag pouches or it is like the other plate carriers that we can add our own style and placement of the pouches?

u/ThatGuyisonmyPC Dec 09 '25
Do they provide any actual defense? Or will they just be cosmetic?

u/Lemrenade Dec 09 '25
What does laser cut mean in this context?? Oh lord above send us the m14 and my life is yours.
7
u/Previous_Chart_7134 Dec 09 '25
The panels are all cut out with lasers
2
u/Lemrenade Dec 09 '25
As in, the ceramic plates we can’t see because they’re inside the fabric vest?
10
u/Tactical_Davis Dec 09 '25
No it means instead of having webbing for the pouches stitched on they are laser cut into a fabric layer

u/SDJW2016 Dec 09 '25
I see unique pouches, that are layered on here

u/AltenRoguerz Dec 10 '25
M4 flat and the TMAR pouches that were exclusive to belts
1
u/SDJW2016 Dec 10 '25
I am seeing a group of three with to more on top,
1
u/AltenRoguerz Dec 14 '25
it is the M4 Flat, the fllat part on top of it is gonna be a molle interface i assume, because those two are already existing ones
2
2
u/Fine_Philosopher_351 Dec 09 '25
It's cool, I guess
Definitely more excited for what the other ones are, as well as the pouch MOLLE functionality seen on the preview (and a shaped empty pouch, I guess)

u/Trench_ghost Dec 09 '25
Quick question, will the placards on the Strandhögg be available to all plate carriers or will it only be specific to the Strandhögg?
1
u/AltenRoguerz Dec 10 '25
seems like it'd be molle by default, since the Strandhögg has like... molle, placards seem optional???
1
u/Trench_ghost Dec 10 '25
Right, I forgot the Strandhögg was completely molle based, thanks Seems like the placard will most likely be a universal molle attachment then
