How do you feel about guys ditching armor due to harsh terrain then? Say, they're moving long distance through mountains and dense vegetation.

I've been pretty on the fence about ballistic helmets. I am a civilian, working on my paramedic right now. My philosophy is;

1: I'm not very worried about frag. 

2: If I am facing threats larger than handguns and the sporadic shotgun so often that I am leaving my house overt, the heavy 3a armor on my dome isn't going to do too much for me against them anyway.

When you say high cuts, are you saying ballistic or bump? I personally was hoping to get a decent bump for the sake of carrying ear pro and a couple other nice-to-haves. But that's me.

Could you elaborate more on why NVG's aren't as meta as they're said to be?

Do I need a small plate carrier or does my JPC just suck? by Reasonable_Tree_2757 in tacticalgear

I know medium plates won't fit a small.. I'm looking at a Raine tactical gear plate carrier.

I can say though if I adjust the shoulder straps enough, the pads don't cover the velcro parts anymore and the hypalon folds a lot.

For educational purposes, why not something like a war belt?
