[QUOTE="uncle money bags, post: 2670986, member: 8377"] [B]Gabe and Jedabug[/B], you guys are about the same height but Gabe is a little bigger in the chest. You guys both know me, and I wear Medium ESAPIS. They cover the vitals and still give me the mobility. [B]BobBarker[/B]- Trust me, the pig is not small. It is also well padded and will fit every SAPI/ESAPI plate from XL to small. The XL is a tight fit but it works. Plus it has a separate plate backer pocket. I have had one and I believe Gabe has one as well. It was probably the most comfortable plate carrier I have worn, but it is a little bulky for my tastes. [B]Hump-[/B] the first plate carrier I used was a Crye JPC. Well made minimalist carrier. I liked it except it wanted to wander around on my torso depending on the undergarment. [B]Jedabug[/B]- Im about certain a Lrge SAPI/ESAPI cut plate would fit you correctly. Here is everything you need to know about sizing your plates.
