Same great fit as the "SISU Kangaroo" Plate carrier. If you purchased my old 'Kangaroo' carrier this will fit you almost exactly the same with added benefits of detail and resizing capabilities.
This pack includes:
Four colors: Black \ Wolf Gray \ Desert Tan \ Olive Drab.
-Plain versions without pouches and a "Medium" loadout of pouches which are as follows below:
-2X 9mm Magazines + pouches
-6X 5.56mm Magazines + pouches
-Tactical Radio + Antenna + PTT Button (Prop only, Non-scripted)
-IFAK (Individual First Aid Kit) Pouch + 4x Chemlights
-2X Misc zipper pouches Horizontal + Vertical
-Suppressor storage pouch
-Smoke grenade + pouch
-Admin pouch with customizable flag patch with presets or the option to create your own. + Permanent markers able to be recolored in SL.
------------------
The first of my line of modular units, that can benefit from each other and in the future. Modify the carrier to fit your needs as far as pouch position. The basic load out should fit normal needs but SISU will release more pouches in the future for you to modify and augment your look and needs. (Basic References and instructions on modifying your carrier are included but a basic knowledge in modifying prims in SL would help)
- Unisex * See extended description for details
- Materials Enabled. Features: Normal maps \ Specularity maps for added realism.
- Pack Includes: Medium Load out version and plain no pouch versions.
- Easily resizeable and modular, quickly edit pouches where you deem fit
- Comes with: Black \ Wolf Gray \ Desert Tan \ Olive Drab Colors
Truly exceptional.
High quality, modular and easy to fit. I really liked the extra pouches being seperate links, because I can stick them elsewhere on my outfit. A great product. My only wish is that they made a slight variant of the main piece to accommodate breasts larger than tiny. Five stars, regardless.
Great Vest
Very well constructed, solid models for the vest and pouches alike, low render impact, and easy to work with, but I do however had a few things to say.
Both the Normal and Specular maps: Materials enabled. It's great and brings a bunch is realism into the model, along with many other things in second life that support it. and even though this model does have Materials, you can hardly see it.
The Normal (or 'bumpiness') maps may be too soft in some places and makes the textures appear flat, yes it may be due to the texture size restrictions, but there's little bumpiness on the vest and MOLLE straps from what I'm seeing, or what I typed below could be why it's hard to see.
The Specular (or 'shininess') maps in my opinion are way too dark, and as a consequence it may be what's taking away from showcasing the details of the Normal maps, yes, I know vests aren't shiny, but a little more could help show the details. And also if I'm not mistaken, plastics (vest clips, earplugs holder, especially the permanent markers) are shinier than what the speculars on the model allows unless they all have a matte finish, in which permanent markers don't.
Other than those issues, i like the model and have a lot of modifying work to do to set it up to my liking since I have OCD from hell.
Things I'd like to see in the future are:
- (Add-ons) 7.62x51 and 5.56x45 200-round LMG boxmags or 100-round softpouches, because some of us like belt-fed monsters. Same goes with sniper mags, SMG mags, ect.
- (Add-ons) Various backpacks that attach to the back of the vest for those long-haul missions.
- (Add-ons) Water bladders because the desert is no fun without water (your Kangaroo harness had it).
- And maybe a possible tactical belt and other accessories.
So there's my thoughts and all, in a seemingly lengthy manner as well, but overall, it's a very well-made vest with that PMC look and I'm looking forward to what we'll be seeing next.
Cheers!
Top of the line
I've tried a lot of various vests and the like, and this is so far my favorite! It took a bit to fit properly, but when I got it to fit, it was absolutely stunning. The extra customization options also put this one to the top of the line. I'd recommend this for anyone looking for a good addition to their military-themed characters.
Amazingly Cool Vest/Plate Carrier
First great thing, Copy and Mod, why can't every product be like this?
When it comes to plate carriers, it's always a tricky business, they are either set or customization is very limited, or sometimes ven detail is missing. Detail and customization is the name of the game with this product.
You have four base colors you can modify for that perfect tint, and you get two versions of this plate carrier, one with all the the addons set, and another one with separated addons, meaning, you can edit them individually for that perfect fit.
It has image selector for the patch, since this is mod, you can just edit the patch itself and include your own texture no problems. And for that complete Black ops look? You can edit the patch, give it 100% transparency and off you go.
Fitting for my body (Niramyth Aesthetic) is always tricky, but this carrier is awesome, I needed about 5 minutes to come out with a good fit.
I hope we get to see more stuff from this maker because clearly, this vest is right on the money, it's worth the price and I'd LOVE to see more military/PMC oriented items from SISU.
Just.. Gorgeous
Absolutely, far and beyond, the best looking and best designed rig I've had the pleasure of using. In my honest opinion, this thing could've been priced at twice the price and still be way more value for money than its competitors.
If you need a chest rig, get a chest rig. If you need a GOOD chest-rig, get this one, simply put.
