By the Rabbit's
eye:
Similarly, as Marcin, I have quite a few plate carriers – from
Crye JPC to big army issued ones. Husar Noble is clearly an
advanced, with all consequences of it – positive and negative.
It is a comfortable PC for sure, even considering its weight
(900 grams). Thankfully, comfort pads do their job. In simpler
construction you can feel absence of them after few hours.
Here we've got quite good cummerbund, mesh inserts for
plates and adjusting system. Adjustment is very simple and
can fit almost everyone.
Shoulder comfort pads. Great thing, seem to be a minor part,
but you can clearly notice
difference between JPC
and Noble, especially after few hours. What's more, you can at-
tach hydration tube or comm wiring to shoulder comfort pads
so everything is in order. QR cushion-style grip cooperating
with those comfort pads is also a good thing. It's not worse
than standard loop. Redoing QR – you need some patience
here, especially with that eyelet-string loop part. Pesky. Pulling
the cushion out – no problems at all.
Connection of shoulder straps with front panel. I don't buy it
at all. G-Hooks that suppose to ease taking the PC off are not
easy to manipulate, especially in dark or when they'll be dirty
or wet (water, oil, blood – whatever). I didn't have an issue with
them so far in Noble but in chest rig that hook undid by itself
in few situations.
