I know the otv is far less then ideal, and was outdated when it hit the field. I also know the next comment is gonna be that they're only pistol armor, im aware. I also know that an actual otv fits about as well as a cardboard refrigerator box

I know Beez Combat Systems makes their IBA OTV Carrier for the 3 peice otv soft armor, but my budget for this stuff is increasingly going to the kids (read this as the $140 isnt bad, but id need to save longer then id want to for a make shift fix.). Does anyone know of a cheaper alternative that i can wedge these things into that would accomplish a similar goal. I need something pretty low profile as it will be used under a TAG gladiator or Chi-com chest rig

Do you have the soft armor plates already or are you looking to purchase them with the vest?

i have the plates, and they were a freebie, thats the only reason i was considering using them

Have you looked at the US Palm carriers?

as far as i see they dont have anything for the old otv cut

Ah it's a specific cut.  do you know what dimensions the plates are?

Dont have em on me at the moment, but theyre quite large. Not ky pic but heres one from the interwebs minus the groin insert

Message Blake or just call seaside army navy. That's where I got mine
