If we were to contract Velocity to make a run of these, how many folks are interested in ordering them? Each unit would be around $350 plus shipping.

US-Elitegear has been selling them for a bit, I think XL is the only size left available, but they sell for $299. Would the extra 51$ mark up go towards future BPRE funding? Or is that just the price for a special order? I'm willing to support either way.

They got them cheaper than we will be able to unless we order like 30 units. Any extra $$$ pretty much goes directly into the BPRE fund vs the creators going to Vegas fund LOL

Any idea on sizing? Velocity doesn't offer much in the way of a scale/reference for their vests. I'm 5'11", approx 155lbs. Not much fits tall and skinny, and for the price of 350$ I'd definitely want to get this right, assuming enough interest.

Scarabs are fitted based on what size SAPI plate fits you. There are a few places online that have guides on how to check that.

What would be the timeframe on this?

Mike Mednansky

Possibly. Even though I have my armor needs pretty well covered, I don’t have any in black... 😂

Only if you can throw in a non permissive environment specialist patch for me... 😉

Was looking at Scarabs the other day, Im in.

I've been trying to get my hands on the US Elite run of them but they were always sold out in mediums. 110% in

Awesome! I contacted US Elite Gear a couple of weeks back about just this! I’ll take two!

Does this mean the Scarab Lite is continuing to be the carrier of choice?

Until something better comes along in Multicam Black, yep. In all honesty, we also have a spec for a slick vest set up(using chest rigs) as well. Are JPCs trick? Absolutely. Are there are other manufacturers we work with behind the scenes on things, connecting the dots between end users and designers? For sure. We reserve the right to change to the best available thing as needed LOL Though this is 100% the look for the Yemen series and possibly the thing I have started developing that will follow Yemen.

Excellent! I just saw a comment a month or two ago you made, that there was a new nylon option in the future books. Thanks!

OK guys, this has officially gone from skunk works to real world. I am getting exact pricing from Velocity and we will run a pre-order program and then have Velocity move on the stuff.
