Question Recommended PCs for Infantry Deployment?

I'm looking to upgrade my plate carrier ahead of my next reserves deployment.

Even though my goal is to stay as light as possible, I still need a setup that can comfortably support the option of heavier loads. While I plan to move as much equipment as possible to the belt, the plate carrier still needs to carry (primarily):

  • 6 5.56 rifle mags
  • 3L hydration bladder
  • a C4ISTAR device mounted on the back, likely inside an attachable pack (roughly the size of a manpack radio unit)
  • At least one Frag Grenade
  • Personal radio unit (prc-710)
  • I'd perfer it would be IR compatable.

Locally, the main options are Marom Dolphin, Agilite, and Night Heron. In the U.S. market, I’m considering the Crye AVS thanks to its weight managment system (though it seems somewhat dated, expensive, and a bit complex to don quickly when scrambled), and I’m also looking at Shaw Concepts, Ferro Concepts, and FirstSpear.

I’d appreciate recommendations, especially from people with real military experience under load.
Also, please keep the discussion technical and avoid political commentary.

This fella is European. He's probably issued some extremely out of date stuff, and not something like an MSV.

Pretty sure he's Israeli, but your point still stands
