but dude nvgs lol please spend $2500 on my fucking refurbished gogglies
Emu man has a good idea about it. Crye is the go to high-end gear seller. The main issue I had with trying to buy a plate carrier was that most websites or physical stores that don't pander to airsoft/bubbajoe entry level stuff requires a police or military ID. If you want to go budget you go with surplus, ideally either eastern bloc or USGI; I'm pretty sure you can still get old MOLLE web gear for cheap although it depends on where you live. Still perfectly functional.

Or go with something like 762 Tactical's chicom. Its made from modern 1000D nylon, has MOLLE PALs instead of grenade pouches, and can be made for your AR platform.
Gonna have to agree with this. An ALICE belt and suspenders is pretty much the most versatile piece of kit around. It can be worn with pretty much any chest rig and many vests and plate carriers. It can also hold almost any surplus pouch, holster, etc if you’ve got a few zip ties.
I have an ALICE set up for an AK using a chicom chest rig, nva quad mag pouch, French canteen pouches, and a mosin pouch and 1930s us pouch for general purpose.
Condor has improved over the years, still won't hold up long term though. Crye is the standard go to for high quality. I'm a fan of Esstac and Ferro, both chest rigs and plate carriers. I usually just go for plate carriers anymore, even if I'm not running plates and use them has chest rigs. The Esstac/Ferro are minimalist enough to get away with it
Out of curiosity, are there any good belt rigs out there? I'm looking for a modernized ALICE style belt with suspenders/h-harness set up, and want to see what else is out there before I buy anything.

I've got the condor h-harness and belt w/condor pouches, it's poorfag city but it's comfy and ergonomic. Great way to carry a lot of mags without feeling the weight.
You don't always have to pay an arm and a leg for good equipment. Looks really practical! Very low profile compared to the more tacticool rigs out there as well.
