correct molle gear for US SF
 

do the US SF guys wear Ciras or just the marines? I know that they wear whatever they really want... but I want to be as authentic as I can.

reason I ask is my plate carrier just doesnt have the capacity I'm looking for

which unit? USMC FR uses diff kit from an ODA which uses diff kit from one seal team, to another. You need to be a bit more specific Graham.

US Special Forces, so not any marine/navy units.

more like the SF units associated with Airborne

US Army Special Forces are a unit that belongs in the Special Operations Forces (SOF) which comprise of several special units from Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines.

In the SOF, since you've mentioned Army units, you're mostly left with the Special Forces and Ranger units. The SF pics that I've seen, they wore a wide range of gear from chest harness to armour vest. If you want to be like a Ranger, just make sure that the gear comes in Ranger green. You're pretty safe if you choose something that is made by Eagle. Lot's of sites will have specific threads on these units so that you can get a better idea of what you like.

A Tan Maritime CIRAS is fine with SF units and many other SOF units ;)

If your just looking for Plate carriers Ravs and CIRAS will be fine, but as you stated SF tend to where their own thang, depending on region and ODA.

US Army Special Forces also use SPEAR gear (vertical MOLLE loops instead of horizantal like everyone else)

Also if you have Mag Pulls but they on back wards. SO turn them 90 degrees. It works a lot better.

WTF?

Um.. if you have the regular magpuls.. there is no front or back..

The only different type of magpul is the Ranger Plate ones.

Very few people still use the SPEAR system.

The end user assessment is that it was a giant piece of shit, both the armor carrier and the ELCS kit.

Cmooooon MikeL, hehe, I expected you to be on top of this stuff :D

What?

Well more like sideways. Put it on the regular way then turn it 90 degrees.

I think he means this. Which is actually a great idea..the thing is super tight on there and and the pull is low profile but still grab able.
