BOOYAH! (Eagle Industries MLCS CIRAS)
« on: April 26, 2005, 07:18:15 PM »
What's that you say?  You want some sh*tty pics of the newest and best releaseable armor vest on the market?  Oh yeah, you mean the vest currently issued to the most badass doorkickers on the planet?

OK.  May I present the Eagle Industries Maritime Load Carriage System Combat Integrated Releaseable Armor System - Land Version (in Matt Johnson Khaki)

TA-DA!





Oh yeah, it's not mine.  SSSSSHH, don't tell anyone!

I'll let Raith post better pics and a description when he gets his hands on it! 8)

It's Mil-Spec webbing, like in all Eagle stuff.  Since it's the same color as your pack (MJK), I would imagine it's the exact same webbing.  You'll see it soon enough, and can find out for sure since I don't remember exactly what the RAID webbing feels like.

Dave, after the better pics and a brief description by Matt reach the forums, EVERYONE will want one.  I think the reason so many people aren't lusting after it by now is because they are simply not aware that it exists.  That's where us gear whore's come in!  It's Gear Awareness month, biotches! 8)   Bought a RAV and think it's the best?  Not anymore, mofo.  This thing has the RAV beat to a pulp.  It re-assembles in less than 3 minutes, versus the 3 years of the RAV.

Other than the waiting list, one disuading factor might be the price tag.  The retail is $564.  Worth every penny, but you know I can't pay retail for gear these days! ;)  (the CIRAS is still cheaper than the RAV, which retails for over 750, sans armor)

Will I get one?  Damn right.  I think I'll wait until I can get one in Ranger Green though.  Then again, maybe I'll just steal this one.  :twisted:

Yes, this belongs to Raith.  I normally don't fingerbang other people sh*t before they get a chance to, but he's letting me since I bought it for him.  He just doesn't know about it yet. :P

Oh, what a treat for him to come home from his night classes and find pics of his rig laying on someone elses floor!

Yeah he'll mind!  

I can't justify spending this much for something I'd wear once a month for a few hours to play in, but I WILL be picking one up prior to deployment if I'm allowed to wear it.

In my opinion, every soldier should be equipped with releaseable armor.  There are several soldiers, Marines and airmen who would still be alive today had they been equipped with releaseable armor!  

I showed it to a family member who is in the Army and just got back from Iraq.  He didn't really give two sh*ts until I said "watch this!" , yanked the cord, and the thing fell to the ground in pieces, at which point his interest piqued.  "That's a hell of an idea!" he said.

He's right.

That's it boys... just load up with all that heavy gear and go run 20 miles.  Then we'll see just how sexy it really is.

Hush that noize, Big John!  I wore more than that at LC3 and did fine.  Hector I ran more than anyone on the field!  It is mesh-lined on the inside, which is cooler than the RAVs Cordura.

We all know you hate gear, John. :P

Umm...
A)  I already said it was a Land Version
B)  If you have one sitting right there (like you just said) you would know which version it is.
C)  They don't come in CB, only OD and Khaki like this one.
D)  Nicer than the RAV?  Different yes, but the RAV is by no means a POS in comparison.

Do you care to clarify what you said before I "continue"?

PS, how about some pics of your kit, snowball?  ;)
