The King Amongst Carriers

There are a dozen capable carriers on the market, some stand above the rest though. The SPC or AVS for examples. But every carrier on the market is faced with some limiting factor. Except one. The ARC V2. The ARC V2 brings modularity to another level and it does so while out performing other more specialized carriers. It is an incredibly rigid and capable load bearing rig while being comfortable and rapidly adjustable. The scalability is also incredible, it can be run as an extremely slick plate bag only system or bulked up to orient for a breacher or 240b gunner role. ON TOP OF THAT it is designed to of course work within the Shaw/ARC suite of accessories, but it isn’t limited to that. It is cross compatible with essentially every market option for cummerbund or placard. I can without a doubt say this is THE most capable carrier and carrier system on the market and it isn’t even a close comparison. The only criticisms I have is it is expensive, but I’d rather support this kind of innovation than watch the industry stagnate, and then there’s no back panel compatibility which personally I view as a benefit BUT guys working in teams often like being able to use a back panel especially breaches. I think 99% of the people running back panels is actually detrimental to their effectiveness BUT that 1% does benefit significantly from back panels.

If it fits in your budget, you won’t be disappointed.
