Hey y’all,

Is there a better body armor stand/hanger than the Russ Innovation one pictured here…

I’m using an Eagle MAR-CIRAS.

I’m not sure if it will hang or rest on the floor but I just wanted something robust to keep it on.

Thanks!

Attention Wal-Mart shoppers. These really work, believe it or not. They are thick plastic pants hangers. They are not the hard plastic stuff that can snap, and they have a give to them but are strong. At 80 cents a piece, by the bundle, they will last forever.

Keep it on the floor. Not going to hurt it.

Heard of Tough Hook?

I’ll check into Tough Hook!

This platform would CRUSH the Wal-Mart version.

Thanks.

Overseas we made cross stands and put them in the corner of our rooms, so our armor and brain bucket would be in the same place everytime.

Just 2 2x4’s 8’ long should do it. It looked just a a cross, only stood maybe 3-4’ tall and had supports screwed to the bottom to keep everything up right.

If you live near the coastal area of NC, you might want to check out a dive shop. I have my chest rig, armor and belt rigs on hangers meant for SCUBA bounancy compensator vests. I got them for about 8 bucks, and they are designed to hold 40 or more pounds. So you can even leave the mags and/or hydration rig loaded.

That’s interesting! I’ll look into that! Thanks!

yeah all our higher ups did that, novel idea for sure
,but we just threw our shit on the floor

10

Man I was an e4. I just like to be tidy. 2 dudes living in a 10x20 box don’t have a whole lot of room to just throw shit on the floor.

11

It wasn’t a stab at you, we just did not have the time or resources for those. like i said it was a good idea.

A 10x 20 box is a lot of space for shit for 2 people

12

I didn’t take it as a stab, so no worries.

yea 10x20 wasn’t bad, originally designed for 3 guys, and we had to keep both bunks and all 3 wall lockers in the room, ate up some space fast. But I don’t like to complain, because I know I had it good living conditions wise.

13

That is a slick idea.

Thank you!

I paid into that tough hook kickstarter thing, really looking forward to it, make some room in the locker.

Currently I use a heavy metal coat hanger I bought from a department store.

15

I bought into the kickstarter as well. Emails went out asking for mailing address and color in case you didn’t get one. Asked for one in tan.

I was fortunate enough to try one of the tough hooks before full production. It’s a pretty slick design. I like how it’s a carry handle and a hanger in one. Used it on a recent Redback One course held in WV. I don’t find it necessary since I’m not in the line of work that utilizes a plate carrier but it is a good “nice to have” with the courses I plan to attend. Had two other students test it out for weight since I was running a slick carrier. I’ll try and get more pictures of the versatility of tough hook but it does its job well for plate carriers/body armor.

Sweet!

Can’t wait to get mine.
