Hey everyone,
Im looking to find a new molle carrier for my new Point Blank body armor. Im trying to keep it as lightweight and slim as possible, I dont care much for bulk.
Ive looked at the Tactical Tailor LPAC but my armor is an inch or two larger than some of their dimensions listed so I require a custom one at the price of ~$450.
Anyone know of any other options available? Google searching hasn’t landed me much results.
Thanks!
Contact Point Blank and see if they can sell you one of their carriers. It’ll have the benefit of getting the exact fit of your panels.
How bout the U.S. Palm Defender?
It looks like the US Palm Defender is specifically for hard plates, I dont see a model/variant that can accept soft armor.
The Point Blank R20 carrier will probably be the most convenient, off-the-shelf solution. I’ve used the R20D version with sewn-on pockets, and currently use the MOLLE version daily at work. With that said, I’m in the market myself and the next best case scenario I’m seeing is probably a Mayflower Low-Profile Armor Carrier. I’m either going that route or gonna have one custom made for my panels.
Mayflower will custom cut/fit a LPAC or LPAAC to your soft armor panels I believe. I haven’t used the service but while researching soft armor many people sang the praises of sending tracings of their panels to mayflower to get the carrier fitted. And the custom work isn’t terribly expensive on top of buying the carrier itself.
Beez Combat Systems (BCS) has great stuff that is made to last.
Here is one from LAPG…

Thank you everyone for the great suggestions. Mayflower appeared to have the best price from the companies I spoke to about a custom size/build. I mailed out my soft armor tracings the other day
How’d this end up? I have a spare set of soft armor from accidentally ordering the wrong cut and am thinking about just getting a second, minimalist carrier similar to their LPAC for SAPI cut armor. Would you mind sharing pricing and your thoughts?

Well unfortunately a bit after receiving my tracings Mayflower stated the LPAAC would not work for my panels since they are closer to balcs panels (they are PB conealable armor panels)
When asked for clarification the rep stated he would get a more detailed answer as to why they wont work with an LPAAC (he seems as confused as me) so I am waiting for further info from Mayflower. I figured since it was going to be a custom sized carrier the panel size or shape wouldnt matter that much
I have also sent my tracings to BCS in hopes for a similar option at a comparable price.
I just want to wear my armor tho

Oh gotcha. OP Tactical’s new collaboration with Mayflower is designed for BALCS armor, maybe that will work? I’m curious about this too now because I have an extra set of soft panels laying around.
From my quick google search it appears to be very similar to the LPAC, but I only see the options for CB and MC and I need black. Maybe they could do a custom black one, Ill have to contact them, thanks

What are you looking to use it for? Have you checked out Point Blank’s own offerings? I have an Endeavor carrier for work and I like it a lot. My brother in law is an investigator and he just picked up Blauer’s new MOLLE vest carrier. It is very low profile and light weight, though definitely not as heavy duty as the others you’ve mentioned. Its made of rip-stop nylon. He got the shoulder’s taken in a dry cleaner and with nothing on the MOLLE he can wear it concealed about as well as the regular carrier.
Mainly Im looking for a fully adjustable carrier (shoulders and waist) that’s lightweight and doesn’t add excess material around the neck area like my current carrier.
I currently have a custom made carrier by JG Uniforms which was originally a uniform shirt style outer carrier (pockets and buttons) which a had them add a few rows of MOLLE to the bottom half when MOLLE became approved. I dont care for its lack of shoulder adjustments and at times depending on how many layers I am wearing it doesn’t feel like it sits right.
I like the Mayflower and BCS options for their minimalist design and fully adjustable shoulder and waistline. I also prefer the use of the 2" shoulder strap instead of the extra wide shoulders used in my current JG carrier and similar the the PB and Blauer carrier.
It doesn’t necessarily need to be concealable since it will almost always have MOLLE pouches attached but I would prefer a slimline design to avoid any more bulk/thickness other than the external pockets.
I see. In that case, neither the Endeavor nor the Blauer carrier would meet your specs since the Blauer has no adjustment in the shoulders and the Endeavor does have adjustment in the shoulders, but that makes then very much overly bulky.
The Point Blank International would work for you.
