When it comes to plate carriers and hard plates, SKD Tactical has some good stuff going on. Enter the Brigandine Plate Carrier. It is a slick PC that can be scaled up if needed using their SYSTEMA.
You can attach side PALS sections to the cummerbund if needed as well as most any type of back panel to the rear of the plate carrier. You can also attach magazine carrier / shingle across the front if you need more ammunition for a specific mission. This set of body armor offers lots of options.
And on top of all of it, you can purchase the plate bags in different sizes. This ensures your ballistic plates don't move around and stay in place over your vitals. They offer a SKD Tactical stand alone level 4 plate too.

Can it be used with other brand placards like spiritus systems, Haley strategic, etc?
Tony Isa Yes, the brig can accept g hooks and swiftclip placards.
I'm not using certified plates either. Been nice knowing you, Ivan.
RIP. Please don't die. I'll miss you both. 😢
Where am I gonna get my validation for purchasing Taurus handguns from now? /s
Killed in the streets...
am i the ONLY one who thinks Kit Badger looks like CowBoy from Full Metal Jacket?? lol
Was just thinking tht. What branch was he in? His neck size says he served, if not good on him physical fitness
Interesting carrier but I'll be damned if it ain't ugly, haha. Happy 4th Ivan!
Thank you!
I have this exact one in multicam. Works well for me, I prefer a minimalist carrier, add this to a belt to carry a sidearm, pistol mags maybe spare rifle mag you’re good to go
Man, I wish this review existed 2 months ago when I bought one of these! Up until now, there were very few videos on the Brig, and none were as detailed and helpful as this. Super grateful that you made this review! I know this will help a lot of people moving forward to trust the product they’re buying.
Great review, thank you!
Right on, glad to help Thomas.
what's plates are you running in yours?
im looking at getting one made for the SKD plates but have hesoc L210 plates which look to be same dimensions and wonder if they'll fit
I got the skd carrier & plate combo. Unfortunately I can’t say for sure whether your hesco’s would fit well! I think they would probably work better in a more standard Esapi cut carrier though.
@@KitBadgerhey do I have to buy the cummberband separate
One of my first carriers that I had to modify multiple times to actually mount kit, back when Range Time TS still existed and showcased their review lmao. Awesome overview as always my guy!
Thanks for watching!
I've never worn one when I have to move and shoot it was ever comfortable didn't feel like I have restricted breathing and I had a boat anchor on Me holding Me Back, good to see you Ivan
I like the utilitarian design/look!
I know if kit and skd are involved you can be sure you’re getting a good piece of kit.
Hey Ivan, for the next tactical games you should rock a pink polo, chino pants and a Vietnam era M16 ala “Ken”! ..oh and 1 mag...🤣😂...
Keep up the great content brother!
I’m sure someone will do that. :)
thanks for the review ! and what are all the things you need? like how do you connect the mag holder thanks!
Where is the giant velcro morale patch, "Aim for the heart, Ramone."?
One of my favorite Clint movies
It’s from a fistful of dollars with clint east wood. It’s a western movie
@@austinjones9970 I know i have the man with no name collection of movies from him
LT. Cowboy one of the best series of movies for sure!
Looks like good kit for long term wear. More than a couple hrs shit gets uncomfortable. In really intense fire little more coverage than this nice if weight not excessive.
Happy Independence Day!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I have this carrier, esapi plates, 3 mags. It isn’t to heavy I recommend getting the shoulder pads. I lost mine in Iraq, after a while the straps dig into your shoulders so they are needed
Thx for the review Bud! Yeah running 5 miles in gym shorts/wife beater not comfortable as well. Take care bud..
Haha, truth.
Unless First Spear uses proprietary fuzz you can stick their Rangar pouches to this PC too. I kinda like the way it looks. If they have a bright neon pink or leopard skin pattern SDK is getting my money.
I had a SKD Brig in OD and I liked it as a minimalist carrier. I eventually sold it and got a Velocity LWPC.
I never tried that one, you like it?
@@KitBadger it's not really a "minimalist" carrier, but it is a pretty form fitting/slim carrier. I find it pretty comfortable and like it, although I dont wear it often. I have it set up with a Spiritus Mk4 placard. Most of the time I still use an older ATS chest rig for carbine classes.
It kinda reminds me of the ferro slickster a bit. Pretty cool carrier. I'm not sure if it's how you have yours set up or if they are all like that, but the shoulder straps looks super close to your neck.
So when we going OLD school and just get bridgadine armor 🤣
I prefer Scales
Historical brigandine armor would actually be heavier...and stop 0 bullets 😕
@@angusoldwolf295 but it would look cool...and looking cool is half the battle
#truth
@@mgmmaze ROFL... true, the cool factor would be pretty extreme.
Maybe I'm missing something but this looks like a carrier I built for $40 bucks with materials from Michael's. regardless this is a very well done review and I am happy to have found your channel. Also it is worth noting that Hesco 4400 plates are NIJ approved Level IV plates that cost 60 bucks less for a set. so you add two pounds but get a plate that does have that "golden stamp" and you saved 60 bucks.
You are, worth the money. Excellent carrier for the price point
Just got me the all slick one, no molle ranger green.
Nice, they’re good carriers for the money.
Dope carrier! Anything that’s going to protect those vital organs is key... I just think the cuts are to small. Although I’m sure you have great speed in it, it looks like it’s too vulnerable in certain spots, that’s just me tho. Thanks for the great video tho 👍🏾👍🏾 You Rock!!
It’s all a trade off with weight and mobility. The big one is being able to shoulder your gun and not have it resting on the edge of your plate.
That's interesting to know the difference and sort of sales side of 'rated' plates with the fancy certification versus 'unrated' plates
Knowing is half the battle. G. I. Joe
@@KitBadger it’s only half true, there is more to it.
Certification isn’t everything, if you have a company like Tencate or LTC where they have a proven track record, even a catalogue of NIJ certified plates, that is certainly a good way to save money. However it isn’t as simple as independent testing being ‘just as good’.
Most of these ‘rated’ plates use an earlier iteration of the test, which only tackles the ballistic side of testing, which isn’t as good as the contemporary standards used for certification. Current NIJ standards call for conditioning before armour is even shot for testing, like temperature cycles or drops on concrete, to ensure the armour survives the real world. The older standard doesn’t.
Then, you also have the shadier ‘independent tested’ plates. While some are tested to NIJ standards, a lot (usually Chinese plates) test plates to a lower standard by having the lab softball them on certain criteria like velocity or obliquity. Some don’t even meet the lesser than 44mm blunt force trauma criteria. Unfortunately uninformed buyers see a PDF of a test result uploaded on the product page, but they never actually read it, thinking that’s what certification or even NIJ tested means, it’s not.
old video i know, buuuut i need some help, on my PIG im having an issue where the metal rectangles on the rear plate bag that hold the shoulder straps like to move around and twist, after running in it for a bit they turn so the straps get bunched up. they want to go vertically instead of staying horizontal. hope that makes sense
Neat stuff
I wish they offered this without the yard of loop covering it 😂
I love your channel and your videos but it is super I L L E G A L to have Maxwell Murder playing but not include the B A S S S O L O
Haha. :)
What do you think about level 3+/special threat plates vs lvl 4 plates? I can't make up my mind between the two (assuming equal price, only difference being protection level and weight).
I'm in the same boat. I was leaning towards special threat plates. But I changed my mind when I realized that ill be surrounded by some big deer rifles as I live in the country.
Maybe if you live in suburban area get special threat.
Depends on the likely threat.
I got both...but then I realized that you can’t wear them at the same time 🤔
@@KitBadger I'm in Europe, big hunting rounds make me think lvl4 but at the same time I don't really expect the hunters to be the ones shooting at me. 7,62x39, 5.56 and 5.45 are much more likely to be threats which is why I think tend more towards special threats plates. But then I keep getting that little voice saying what if... But I think I'll stick with the L210 (until I change my mind again).
Nice video, they look heavy for the sizes
Depends on plates I have esapi with soft panels added 3 mags big y to bad, I’m used to wearing full combat vest so this is light to me
I liked your JPC video a while back. Maybe more versatile/turn-key. I imagine Velcro is nice for a low-profile civilian role.
The JPC is still one of the best values out there.
Kit Badger yeah I just wish it wasn’t a 2 month wait
@@Reviews4fun1 ouch... :(
wha... your name is Ivan? I tought you are Kit Badger)))
Exactly saves money! Nothing wrong with that hopefully they never get shot. If I was going to the tactical games I would run poly plates, if that is allowed? Happy 4th brother👍🇺🇸
Just needs to meet the weight criteria of 15 lbs. You can even run the Rogue training weight plates instead of actual armor.
The Tactical Games punishes you for good (lightweight) Gear. :)
@@joshua4625 so your plate carrier has to be a minimum of 15 lbs?
@@KitBadger well that sucks. What is your opinion of the poly plates. From what I have seen....they look to be the best option.
@@UncleDanBand64 I've heard good stuff about them, but haven't used them.
7.62x63 = .30-06 M2 AP (black tip) WICKED!
Big round...
do you know if the hesco L210 plates will fit in the plate bag for the SKD plates. everything im seeing shows same dimensions
Not sure, but if the dimensions match...
@@KitBadger rog, they lols similar and SKD said they look similar, waitingg til they come in since I have a SKD specific carrier already ill try out. thanks for responding though. great video, def made my mind up about this carrier since I saw it as long as the plates fit, it'll do me well in what im looking for work
Skd tactical plates seem like a good deal. Is there a big difference between the multi hit plates and the single hit?
The caliber rating.
Great review need to do some more 5 mile runs in full kit those are the best. So how long do the plates last for?
I think they’re warrantied for 5 years.
Will a SKD plate size front and a Tap gamma size work?
Is that the 10×12 skd tac plate bag the front
Front and back.
Your uneven shoulder straps are triggering my OCD!!!
#sorrynotsorry
@@KitBadger LOLOLOL!!
@Kit Badger is this still available, I can't seem to find anyhting on google...
What trijicon rmr where you running on that radian rifle? Fantastic content as always!
06 I think. Adjustable, small dot.
That watch looks slick... is that a Garmin?
COROS Vertix, I reviewed it awhile back.
Kit Badger thank you sir
Look at you, runin round like a hard pipe hitten mutha!! Gonna go to work on homez with a blowtorch and a pair of pliers!!💖💖💖💖💖💖
#BOSSBADGER!!😀👍
GREAT VIDEO!! as is your norm good sir!! Well done!! SKD is an amazing company and really good peeps to boot!!
Hahaha, thanks buddy. :)
I only know what a plate carrier is cause of DayZ, yeah.
DAIL 999 if you really want the truth!
Yes!
Can you do 10×12 front and a large back??
Yes.
How did you get it in black
Offered on SKD’s site. :)
Anyone recommend an under shirt under-layer for plate carrier use that breathes but is not fleece thick to minimize chaffing????? All the better if the price is not astronomical "Mil-Fanboy scalpers pricing" please?
I like the under armour type shirts. Not the skin tight ones, but loose like a normal shirt. I got some in gold and they fit in fairly well with my FDE carrier
The synthetic undershirts they issued us in the land of sand should be spot on for what you are looking for... bulk t shirt suppliers will give you "real person" prices per shirt that the tacticool suppliers cant
I guess the idea is to be light weight.
Yea
What site and mount is that at 0:58? Thanks!
Its the trijicon RmR dont know what mount it is :/
Scalarworks Mount.
This prob works great, but no thanks im just getting the tv110 for 180dellers cheaper and same effectiveness!
Would you be willing to answer a personal question?
Maybe.
are these in stock
Have you checked? :)
Kit Badger i been checking for so long now and it still hasn’t been in stock. so is there any other website i can buy one from?
@@boof4381 Not sure, but it looks like they have a bunch in stock. Are you looking for specific cut / colors? Try calling them or asking about email notifications.
That’s is just bootleg
There is no justifiable reason to buy and run uncertified plates.
