BETTER than Slickster
Owned a JPC2.0, Slickster, MBAV and various other carriers over the years. Upgraded my jpc2.0 to the Slickster and still felt the carrier was lacking.
The MEPC does it all right. I ordered mine with padded sleeves and the 4” elastic cummerbund with the QD attachments. It feels way more comfortable than the Slickster and feels much more robust. You will be happy with this carrier. But I will recommend you buy the padded shoulder sleeves with it. Everything else is up to you. -
SOLID Option For Plate Carrier
Just got my MEPC and it is solid. Reinforced where it needs to be (shoulder stitching, plate bags, and molle) and minimal everywhere else. Great alternative to Ferro Slickster and Advance Slickster but customer service WAYYYYYYYYY better. You won't regret this choice
