CIRAS in Large

[SDS_ShooterMcGavin]

For anyone who has one of these... I hear they are adjustable but I am 6'4 190 lbs, and I don't want to buy a large (Can't seem to find a XL around here) and not have it fit.

Can anyone taller speak from experience and shine some light please?

as long as you buy pantec/ phantom all youll need is a large, even a medium will fit. im 5'9 185lbs and i wear a medium. i actually had a large and sold it to get a medium.

Hell. I find my old gen Phantom Ciras (in larg) to be somewhat big for me (6' 180lbs)
I'm not that fit so I may not be a good example, but still think a medium would be more suited for me.

Eagle Industries and other similar RAVs sizing are dependent on the dimensions of the armored plate. Though a small sized CIRAS will have a PAL spacing allowing only three M4/M16 pouches, 6 PALS across oppose to 8 with the larger sizes.

Regardless of size, a proper replica of the CIRAS should be fully adjustable. There is an outer and inner cummerbund that has multiple grommets which you feed the dacron loop through. If you plan on using the quick release, mark the grommets with a sharpie so you can easily remember where to pull the dacron loop through when reassembling it.

Oh and one more item, its also a good idea to replace the "dacron loop" with something more robust. Some of these replica CIRAS have one made out of similar threading as say shoe laces, so replace with paracord.
