Hope this turns into a series resulting in the presentation of the K19 v4 with all the cable management of the Zero and the new cummerbund integrated 😁
They need to make a new k19 with the kzero shoulder straps and the Velcro flap in the back and the need to make a new kzero with the straps inside the plate bag that holds the plates I have no idea what plate carrier I want between the 2 Agilite s or the was recon plate carrier
08:19 "if for some reason you're not running" is the best part of this whole video
This video literally made me fall in love with the product as a whole. Regardless of which plate carrier to go with, they both provide just about the same amount of functionality and practicality mixed in with comfort.
AMAP III assault pack:
The pack needs attachment straps so you can self access the pack without a team member helping. Straps like the Flatpack Piggyback Straps used by Haley strategic or the Recondite Strap Kit used by Defense mechanisms.
Being able to access your bag yourself and put it back on without using bulky pack straps over bulky plate carrier straps is a game changer
Yes please! The AMAP needs piggyback straps. The pack is already setup to receive them you just need to make the strap kit.
I agree. The pack is 95% setup for it so it would be a missed opportunity not to take it the last 5%. It would definitely make the pack stand out in the marketplace, there are only a few packs that have this capability.
If you need a back panel get a back panel, if you need to access your own gear get a backpack.. with this bag you can do both.. no need to buy more hype gear
@@IronRabbit bro.. it comes with backpack straps. Just.. wear it as a bag?
@@rainbow_tactician It seems you do not know what piggyback straps are and how they work. Or you have never used them before, once you use them you will realize that it is the only way to go. Using backpack strap over plate carrier straps is a joke , the straps will always get in the way at a critical time when shouldering your rifle. And using a back panel you can never access your kit yourself you will always need someones help to access your panel. With piggyback straps you can shoulder your rifle and access you pack there is zero reason to not use them. In combat you must plan for all out comes and being able to get to your gear without compromising use of your rifle is important so the third option of piggyback straps in very important especially if you operate in a small team
I just retired from LE work and ran the K19 carrier for three years. I did sell it to a co worker upon leaving and it is still in use. Very comfortable for use during a twelve hour shift in South Texas. Highly recommend it to anyone who's agency allows external carriers.
Did you not have issues shouldering your rifle?
no issues at all. ran AR500 Swimmers cut plates in the carrier.@@wcsdiaries
@@wcsdiariesyou do if you have a brace. My brace has a slick end so it doesn't stick to the shoulder strap. Suppressor, optics and Law folder add tremendous weight so this doesn't help either when shouldering my AR. But with a good stock, this is not an issue, tried it with my SCAR 17.
@@wcsdiariesthe V3 of the K19 has the clips to allow you to remove the quick disconnect on your strong side shoulder so that you don’t have that issue anymore🤙🏼
Love both carriers, but i would love it even more if you had more color options in the future.
The German army plate carrier notoriously sucks, but we can't buy yours for duty use unless you make them in Flecktarn camo. And i am sure the French and British would also love one in their respective color patterns.
Thanks for the support and for the feedback. We hear ya and more colors are on the way 💪🦂
@@Agilitetactical
Ditto! I would also love one with italian camo (vegetato and multiland) as well. Flecktarn and Vegetato are the best camo patterns for the fall season in many parts of the world.
Also, is the triple pincer placard going to be made in mutlicam-black too?
I always thought A-Tacs was a good pattern(especially the original) but it didn't seem to catch on with big name companies.
@@Agilitetactical It would be great if you could offer a NIR Compliant version of the K-Zero.
I never understood the obsessions with what effectively are custom camo patterns. They were literally designed to work in one terrain type only. Hardly cost effective. Ranger Green and other monotone green colorations work fine in basically 9 out of 10 surroundings, especially when mixed in with some OD and FDE here and there. Works beautifully in the woods as well as in urban areas. There is a reason the IDF is outfitted like this. Why the Bundeswehr hasn't figured this out (and reverted to OD or RG) yet is a mystery to me. Ranger Green blends in and works just about anywhere and everywhere, leaving only the need for a one time investment in one set of equipment. In temperate climate zones we have no business in the desert, that leaves forests and urbanized areas only and hence just one set of equipment. Camo is just a pain in the neck. I always suggest getting rid of it.
I think that the next generation of the K-Zero should bring back the plate bag retainer straps, would probably help with weight displacement like in the K19
The forward thinking of these products are fantastic. The modularity is killer
So much badass clips all in one video. Great work guys! Been eyeing the k-zero for a while and I've heard nothing but good things about it. I'll be getting one when the next paycheck comes around.
This is a great breakdown/comparison video! Clears up some of the questions I had about the differences between the carriers. Definitely leaning more towards the K-Zero carrier now. Seems to add a lot more functionality/options for configuration that I would need.
K-Zero seems to provide some additional functionality and features that would be useful for the end user. Both carriers provide an outstanding piece of kit that would be beneficial in the field. Well done! 🎉💪🏼
K-zero for the win!!! Love mine and can't wait to deck of out with the Warfighter
Thank you for work youre doing for military/police community, its awesome. Im proud to be part of your TE program, its nice to have company that listens to your opinions and feedback to further improve their stuff. Quality of your videos is very good, very informative, keed doing this good job.
Thank you for this breakdown. I've checked myself into the Agilite Asylum. Lock the door and throw away the key.
Y'all are spot on! I love these plate carriers and I have to have one
K-Zero wins
Nice to see very well thought out gear. You can definitely see that end users were listened to in the designs. Presented very well. Props to good gear.
It’s hard to pick just one because they both are great products. I don’t own a plate carrier at the moment but if had to choose K-Zero is what I would choose. Love Agilite products.
Perfect presentation at the perfect time for me anyway lol. I could not decide which plate carrier I wanted and this helped me decide.thanks Agilite ✌️
Since the K-Zero is your most compact and shooting/agility friendly carrier, could you also add different form factors? Like a dedicated carrier for shooters cut plates, so they don't wiggle around. And/ or add the two adjustment straps from the K19 back in, they were cool for both securely and tightly holding the plates and also distributing their weight.
Marom dolphin , an israeli conpany also makes carriers. More dedicated to certain other aspects
❤
Absolutely the best, well designed, great concept and superb quality. Love them all! Kudos to the company and hoorah for the developers. More power and SHALOM!
I couldn't decide which one to go with and I was leaning K-19 but after watching this K-Zero is the way for me to go. As I will be in and out of vehicles. Very helpful video. Thanks.
As a LEO I like the idea behind both depending on the task at hand. The new pouches and attachments you can tell are from people who have had to put these things thru their paces and actually work for the user instead of against them. Great products keep it up!
Awesome breakdown between the two and the accessories! I’ve been looking to grab either the k-19 or K-Zero for a few months now. Waiting for restocking and on sale pricing.
K-Zero is definitely in my future. Its all about the little things with this thing. ❤
The K0 fits my MOS and my Dailey missions way better! Gotta have to order one sometime soon, and show it off to my soldiers, same with a ballistics helmet, but little bit at a time
Great video. It helps a lot. Hopefully more such videos for new products.
Some ideas for new versions: quick-release without buckles for k0; optional add-on straps/loops/velcro to integrate chest harness (one piece donning) on k0; ex. Snigel-type one-sided unbuckling between amap and K0 for quick access to pack; micro map-like back panel combo for k0; lighter, more streamlined amap with edc look optional cover patches; new organizer for the amap with more flexible storage for slightly bigger stuff (some stuff is bulky and elastic too tight; size-adjstable magpouch with pincers so bigger mags cold potentially fit too; non-water absorbing material PC option; option to have minimalistic plate holder for for k0; customizable k-straps for packs, incl. micro maps (minimalism-padded combo i.e. remove padding for minimalism and packability if desired); a fully modular option enabling chest rig-PC combo with maximum customization.
Just ordered my 1st Agilite plate carrier. Can’t wait to get my K Zero and start setting it up 🎉🎉🎉
Same, just noticed my discount code went to the spam mail folder. After watching this, I need to move a few things around in the cart, enter code, slap that Buy button and patiently wait for the mail lady. Oops, can I still say mail lady?
K-0 for the more shoulder ability ..Both are great ..thanks agilite for manufacturing such a great product and great informative video..
I would love to see a variety of plate carrier danglers for the rear of the plate carrier that are dimensioned to make it more comfortable when sitting in a vehicle.
Something useful that doubles as spine support to prevent back pain. A first aid kit. A holder for a thin and long water bottle.
Running K-19, and have no issue with shouldering a rifle. Just replace the quick release with a standard loop.
both are amazing carriers in my opinion, i own a k19 btw, agilite never ceases to amaze me
I love my K19 exactly for the elaborated on reasons. Zero is good as well. Each is geared towards different preferences. Different strokes for different folks. K19 is absolutely perfect for my needs and I live how it integrates with my AMAP III. Anything Agilite makes is top notch👍🏻
A great new product would be a large ballistic west that also accepts plates, and that works great as a plate carrier.
So ballistic 3a protection all around, maybe the new and thin SafeLife Defense panels, but the also a way to safely hold plates above that.
This would appeal to a lot of police/swat teams that mostly face handgun threats and appreciate greater soft armor coverage while also having rifle protection (ideally from thin and light level3 or level 4 ICW plates). But vehicle turret gunners and grunts that mostly dig trenches against artillery shrapnel could also use it.
love the k19. Haven't got to try the k-zero yet! Love all of the Agilite gear, most comfortable gear no questions about it!
I really am in love with all the features of the K-Zero Plate Carrier and am really looking forward to getting it.
I have also asked myself if you guys are planing any Battlebelts, because i already have some Agilite gear and would expect a really good and high quality battlebelt from Agilite.
K-Zero all day, it was made to improve the K-19 and respond to user feedback from professional reviewers and other serious training guys. Not saying to throw out your K-19 if you have one but if you get the K-19 today, tomorrow you'll be wishing you could easily drop-in upgrade the cummerbund and have a slimmer profile carrier that is built around your plate size. Great video, and lots of innovative gear showed, really remarkable system of gear that Agilite's been able to develop over the past few years.
Love the minimalist set up my current vest for bond enforcement is bulky and a pain when do quick dismount from a vehicle
Hope to get a k-zero asap. And hoping you guys make a combat pants and a duty belt very soon.
Very useful video, thanks guys
I would love to see an Agilite belt made from Tegris. Super thin, super light, super strong.
And give us an ability to direct mount holsters and Safariland forks on it. Not the horrible Safariland UBL or the better but still annoying True North adapters that go over your belt, but something that directly screws into the Tegris without any bulk or rubbing spots.
Plus, such a belt would be ideal to hold your pistol and rifle pouches on your 1st line gear.
Yes same here, agilite battle belt would be awesome 👏🏼
^ yes, something that integrates a safariland qls system easily.
As an infantrymen it’s very important to access assault pack on the go or even take it off completely on the the go. I love the k19, so what I did was bought a buckle strap adapter kit. I used the buckles on the shoulder straps of the k19 and the straps on the amap3 were the shoulder straps of the amap3 are located. Now I have the option of a quick release. This cost me an extra $20. Would of been nice if it had already came with this option from the start but either way love what they are doing at Agilite.
The choices between these two is what makes me so indecisive. I need rather want the combination of both.
Will Agilite be putting out a chest rig anytime in the future? Love your stuff and God be with all of you in your fit against EVIL!
Absolutely love both carriers! Started with the K19 and had to get the K-0 and soon as it dropped! Just need to build up the K19 again sense I loved everything to the zero 😂
Really helpful, thank you.
Yes thank you for this video, just recently saved up enough for a plate carrier and decided agilite was going to be my choice, but still have to decide between the K-Zero and K-19 😅
I like both. I was thinking about K-19 then you brought out the K-Zero. Now what? I’m still leaning to the K-19.
i have the k-zero amazing to workout in and from what i’ve read amazing for short(er) mission sets / think direct action. you can scale up a k-zero however you want and it’ll hand the weight with ease.
K19 is designed to be worn for a loooong time / think green side missions, patrols, etc. you can scale up a k19 it’ll do it comfortably
they’re 2 distinct carriers each solving their own problems. first figure out your missions set and purchase accordingly.
I have both and both have been missing some of these pieces. I’ve reached out and heard NOTHING back. Love the products but I’d love to try all of the options.
I’m such a huge fan of the k0… y’all do awesome work with both tho they’re for different purposes
Definitely the k-zero especially for a skinnier guy like me. I really like the options to set it up for your liking while being able to keep it relatively small.
I want to get back into this stuff I would love to be a tester for you guys I would be honored, your gear is the best hands down and I have already purchased the K zero
K-Zero looks to be the one I would go with
K 0 with Warfighter cummerbund, pincer placard, six pack pouch, and Micro map are needed. K 0 my pick over the K19. Both are amazing regardless. Keep it up Israel!
I have the K19. Will you be developing any pouches for .308 mags ? Thanks for your video. Great presentation.
I'm on team 0 for sure. I have both and the k0 is as comfortable if not more then the 19 and it has better shouldering modularity and cable management
Lev video is so informative.
They should make you a downloadable character in Modern Warfare. 🙌🏾💯😎
Actually good tactical products - well done boys
When r y’all gonna get multi cam 6 pack hangers back in stock?? Oh and I LOVE MY K ZERO!! Lookin to kit it out with more of y’all’s products but THEY R OUTTA STOCK lol. Y’all make amazing products keep up the great work thank u.
Agilite always raising the bar for the best equipment! Only question/request I have is on when the plates are going to be for sale in Israel ?
I will buy one for Magfed Paintball. But i cant make a choise at the moment. I love the k19. The k-zero is also very impressiv. One month to go for a decision.
Hope to see an 40 mike or any molle/lasercut placards for the pincer placard.
Any radio pouch? If possible, can you do full demonstration on how to connect the back pack to the carrier?
I own the K19 PLATE CARRIER 3.0 and I like it very much very comfortable to wear
14:16 I need this in my life
Does the bare placard come with a pad to cover the back? Can you fit 2 gp pouches on the front of the pincer? A good combo would be. Placard + pincer + 2 x pistol pincer put the admin or 2 gp pouches add a H- harness and you would have a sweet chest rig.
Great work - I like the K-ZERO and the idea of those tight hanger pouches!
Absolutely the best!
Got the k19 Plate carrier couldn't be happier. But that kzero looks pretty high speed for sure. Maybe one day
I love the compact and elegant k-zero
love it. Have the K-zero and the ability for it to stay in place is awesome. I thought you had a hydration pack but can't seem to find it.?
AMAP lll would be great to offer some pouches that would fit across the inside for medic gear. I’ve been playing around with some different options for doing this. But have yet to come up with one I like
Release date on the regular Molle placard? Also have you guys considered anything for SMG mags? Not much out there for the subgun community and we still use them a lot on the law enforcement side of things.
Will the cable management kit ever be available to purchase separate from the K-Zero if we want to run it on the K-19?
I noticed the website has the option for medium 10x12 or SAPI medium plates for the K-Zero.
How compatible is the K-Zero with swimmer/shooter cut plates such as the large 10x12 Hesco L210s?
Are SAPI plate carriers in general compatible with shooter cut plates or not quite?
Thanks in advance!
Are
Can i use the pincer placard attached to any harness without a plate carrier? Kind of like the spiritus placard or any other one
Awesome gear and awesome company 🦂
I have the k19v3. I also picked up the side armour carriers thinking i could put them on. Since the k19 cumberbun is only 1 sided what do i need to add them. Unfortunatly the distributor i purchased the setup from didnt make me aware of that. Love the danggler.
Perhaps modded (7:53) K19 for me as a sharpshooter and have long hours with slow movements and waiting for opportunities for action or only information gathering for further link, the convenience is of great importance and that I can customize the vest with knife holder. and on the front 2 pcs 9mm mag left side holder and 2 pcs 7.62 mm holder and mag bag for extra mixed candy. on the back liquid and food as well as medical care and more ammunition. First aid in the leg pocket and Glock17 at the right hip. would be very interesting to test this combo and compare it to the Swedish setup we use.
Could you attach the pincer placard to the ag3 placard giving you 6 mags on the chest?
🦂AGILITE: Which Plate Carrier Should You Choose?
I personally would need access to both of them (smart play Agilite) depending on the mission and the longevity and agility needed for the mission. I personally like the K-ZERO for short time low gear mission.
I also would still have a use for the K-19 for those missions that would take you out into the bush for longer periods of time where you will need to carry more gear and my need larger shields (plates).
I love and Will need all your accessories and pouches and a substantial I-FAK. Also if I get stuck with a big belt gun the K-ZERO would be best. As for thinking of other items that may be needed I would have to get hands on.
יש לך את העבודה הכי מגניבה בעולם!! מוצרים סופר איכותים!
Dope gear.
Man it's still a hard choice but I think I would want to go with the KZero.
I would say the K-Zero would be the way to go, it's slimmer and more agile. I like how this video breaks it down to explain for anyone who has questions.
Y can’t the ag3 placard triple msg pouch an ag3 556 triple mag pouch come to hold 6mags an Pincer Placard Triple Mag Pouch hold 6?? Would be nice if u guys did… I’ll change the high speed one i got to agilite’s pouch’s if they did
its difficult to say which one is better. Both are very impressive.
Is it possible to add quick release shoulders to the K-Zero?
what happened to the new backpack you BREIFLY showed at shotshow would love to see that come to light
Hope all products will come in Wolf Grey soon 🙏
K19 for multipurpose seems like the way to go!
The k0 sounds perfect but im i pretty big guy at 6’1’ 230 i wonder how it would fit someone like me and does it have to have a specific size special plate?
K zero for the win
Does Agilite have any plans to make a K-19 that can fit an XL plate?
For me guys, I play airsoft which i acknowledge pure childs play compared to what you guys do. I looking for a plate carrier thats light when i want it to be and loaded up when i want it to be but i want it to be comfortable and able to adjust on the go. Would you say go with the k zero or the 19 ?
When will the molle placard come out?
Can we get a cummerbund solution or adapter for the k19 1.0 ?
k-zero love how the cummerbund and shoulders has a stretch, and adjustability. My last carrier i would literally wear it 8 to 10 hours a day. with a heavy load my neck and shoulders would cause me to slump in turn affect my effectiveness on the battlefield
9:09 “he’s just a friend”
I like the K-Zero best. It seems to fit closer to the body which I think is a very high priority.
I own a K 5 a K19 2.0 and the latest model if you come out with German camo Fefkled is it ill be buying another. I don't think ill be getting a zero. I just love my 19's and 5 but I have a friend that did im going to get a good look at it
