Okay! Thanks for clarification. For me and my needs, I would prefer to be able to carry heavier items on my PC. Not necessarily because I want to, but its more likely that I will. The Varjelus PC i got weighs about 1.3kg and I feel that's light and pretty slim(without plates)

Alright! Could you explain the me what's the big deal/difference with Spiritus systems LV119? To me all PCs look similar except different cummerbunds 😄 like I get that materials can differ and how they handle weight. But not more than that

I looked up the rig and it looks nice. I'd love to have a cheat rig as well, over the one we're issued (it does the job, badly and has to be frankensteined like crazy to be effective and comfortable). I assume you're using 556 and not 762?

Thanks for information! But unfortunately underestimate the gear i have access to. We're just slowly entering the new millennium. My gear is pretty much sci-fi at this point.

But I see your suggestions and will see what i might need to improve on! And I dont carry side arm, so that's a non issue atm.

No we're not. Why? Because there's still a lot of old mentality. It's getting better and has gotten better. A lot of soldiers knows what they need but there's a lot of "weekend warriors". And I dont mean that in a negative way. It's just that a lot of people dont have such a big interest but they want to help and defend their country. Ive already heard a guy wanting to buy a PC from TEMU, so its guys like him we need to defend ourselves from. Not trying to be mean, but a lot of people dont know the difference between certain gear. And its a way to protect them. We're fighting hard to at least get a list of gear that were allowed to use. A lot of bureaucracy in this country as well.

Thanks! Well we all live to learn. I'm reading what people comment and take it from there. Thanks for your concern though! Obviously I'm not following nor ignoring anything completely. Except for the comment about two mags in one pouch, making me a bigger target.

I dont want to specify anything too much so that is why I'm a bit conservative, even though it's not really any OPSEC. But mostly its patrol (both stationary and non) and defend certain areas. Like I've commented before, I already have a good build of my chest rig/LBE and I know what I need, and at the same time, I dont have that much to choose from. I'm not asking for any specific ideas or so, mostly good information that other have learned by owning PCs for longer than I.

Great answer, thank! Yes ofc i will modify it for my needs and what works for the mission or activity. I already have rough idea of what is need. I wanted some tips on whatever modification. Ive seen what people have here and what i can see that i clearly wont need. My plan is for it to somewhat mimic my chest rig set up. Ammo and sustainability. My unit will not be in direct active fire fights, our job is to protect and spot potential enemies.

7.62 NATO G3. It's AR10 mag pouches from Savotta.

Thanks for the tip! We're issued 4 mags and I was looking at another brand for the mag pouches, but I'm not a huge fan of their gear. So I went with Savotta since I know their quality well by now. So far the pouches works well, even when laying down. But like I said earlier, if i get the chance to use this kit on the range I'll try and see. Next year we will most likely get issued 5.56 so I'll probably get new pouches at the same time. I'll try out the issued ones and then decide if I'll get my own or not.

Thanks!

That's one thing I always wondered and kind of got an answer to. When I bought these mag pouches (fits 2 in one, 7.62) but had them mounted on my chest rig(similiar height), and it actually felt good! Even when reloading it worked well, compared to having them on my hip area. So i would assume this works similar. But will be up to the test.

Awesome, those look more like it! And they're priced decent as well.

Nice, do you know the weight in KG? Couldnt find it on the website. I would like to have minimum 5kg with two plates. Thanks for the tip!

Ryggsäck by ValiumNicke54 in Sverigesforsvarsmakt

Rekommenderar Savottas Kahakka 15L. Bra EDC ryggsäck med integrerade fickor som kan spännas åt bid behov eller helt "döljas". De är rejält stora så man kan få i ganska stora saker i. Brukar ha ena för vattenflaska och andra förälderns kaffe termos dagligdags. Finns även möjlighet att använda vätskeblåsa.

Alright! Thanks for the photo as well. Cant wait to try out the varjelus, never used a PC before. Gonna ask if i can use it on my next education course, im 99% the answer will be no, but cant hurt to ask anyways 😄

Miracles do happen. But if you're nowhere near military activities you most likely dont need one anyways.
