Must have !
It fits securely right under the front flap without bouncing around too much or getting in the way when bending down.
The interior organization is just right for tools, a small medical kit, or spare batteries, and the build quality is top-notch. Durable zippers, strong velcro, and looks great. Highly recommended!
They add the perfect amount of padding to thin plate carrier straps without adding annoying bulk or chafing around the neck.
They wrap around securely, stay perfectly in place, and make carrying a loaded rig all day much easier on the shoulders. Simple, low-profile, and excellent quality. 5 stars!
They provide the perfect amount of cushioning and ventilation without adding unnecessary bulk.
The hook-and-loop attachment is incredibly strong and stays locked in place exactly where you set it. The fabric is comfortable against the body and helps immensely with airflow on hot days or during long ops. Absolute must-have for maximum comfort!
The quick-adjust mechanism is incredibly smooth, allowing you to transition from a tight, secure carry to shooting slack instantly.
The padded section is the perfect thickness—it cuts down on neck strain during long days in the field without being bulky. Hardware and webbing are heavy-duty and hold tight under load. Excellent value and top quality!
Excellent ADAPT Admin Panel clone from Shekkin Gears. It integrates flawlessly with the AVS loop fields without adding unnecessary bulk to the chest area.
The internal organization is perfect for maps, notebooks, or tools, and the front velcro holds patches securely. Great stitching, authentic materials, and looks spot-on. Highly recommended!
Great 6"x9" General Purpose Pouch from Shekkin Gears. It’s the perfect size for holding extra gear, medical supplies, or NVGs without being too bulky on the rig.
The stitching is rock-solid, the zippers are smooth and durable, and the MOLLE attachment is tight and secure. Authentic look and excellent quality for the price. Highly recommended!
I couldn’t be happier with this Zip-On Panel from Shekkin Gears. It completes the back of my plate carrier perfectly and looks incredibly authentic.
Perfect Compatibility: The zippers match up flawlessly with my AVS/CPC without any binding or spacing issues. It zips on smooth and stays secure.
Layout & Storage: The pouch configuration is incredibly useful for carrying extra hydration, flashbangs, or general gear. The internal organization is well thought out.
Rugged Construction: Just like their other gear, the fabric, stitching, and zippers are heavy-duty and built to take a beating in the field.
An amazing addition to my setup that looks great and functions exactly like the real thing. 5 stars all day!
This MBAV Pouch Set from Shekkin Gears is absolutely spot-on. If you are building a specific era-accurate kit (like a 2010s Marsoc or Ranger impression), this set is a must-have.
Material & Color: The fabric and color matching (Khaki/Coyote/Multicam) are excellent and look exactly like the real-deal issued gear.
Build Quality: The stitching is heavy-duty, and the snaps/velcro hold tightly under pressure. No cheap-feeling materials here.
Variety & Utility: The set includes all the essential pouches you need for a complete, functional loadout right out of the box.
Another home run from Shekkin Gears for reenactors and airsofters alike. 10/10!
I am highly impressed with the Shekkin Gears AVS Harness. For a replica, the attention to detail is insane—the materials feel incredibly durable, and the stitching is rock-solid.
Comfort & Load Bearing: It distributes weight perfectly, making a fully loaded AVS feel much lighter than it actually is.
Fitment: It integrates seamlessly with the plate bags without any awkward sagging or alignment issues.
Value: You get 95% of the performance and look of the real Crye harness at a fraction of the cost.
If you are looking to build a accurate impression kit or just want a high-performance harness without breaking the bank, this is the one to get. Highly recommended!
Overall, it’s well-made and the material feels nice and comfortable. I’m 183 cm tall and weigh 80 kg, and the length fits me well, with the sleeves also being just right. It was a bit too wide in size L, but after some minor adjustments, it fits perfectly. Despite that, I would really recommend buying it.

Great plate carrier, will likely be using this for a fair amount of time. Holds up relatively well under night vision, is almost a perfect match to ADA AMCU and just generally constructed well. The velcro at the bottom of the plate bags will likely need a bit of extra stitching if you are carrying weighted plates in them but otherwise just great.
Great back panel, works well with the FCPC's zips. It is well constucted and holds up relatively good under night vision.
After putting in some time with the Shekkin TBAS T5 after testing the newer T4 clone, I can confidently say this is one of the best reproductions of the current ADA TBAS T5 available. For anyone looking to build a modern Aussie SF-inspired setup (or just to have an extremely functional and simple carrier), Shekkin have done an exceptional job as always.
The first thing that stands out is the quality of the carrier. The AMCU material is extremely convincing and appears to be IR treated. Under night vision with IR illumination, the material does not exhibit the excessive glow often seen on cheaper replica equipment, making it a solid option for users who care about IR signatures.
The plate bags are very well constructed, with excellent stitching and internal hook-and-loop attachment fields for comfort pads. I installed a set of Shekkin AVS-style pads inside mine and found they worked very well. I am currently running Shekkin's Medium weighted SAPI training plates, which fit securely with very little movement inside the carrier, but it is a bit on the tighter side.
My main criticism (if any) is the included cummerbund. The supplied three-band skeletal cummerbund with seven columns of MOLLE appears better suited to small and medium-sized builds. On my initial fitting I was disappointed to find the carrier did not comfortably fit my larger frame. For users with a larger chest size, I would strongly recommend either Shekkin's Quick Release Cummerbund or a compatible AMCU hook-and-loop cummerbund from Platatac or another manufacturer. To their credit, Shekkin were very responsive and have arranged a larger custom ten-column cummerbund for me. I would love to see Large and XL cummerbunds become a standard option in future which are normally supplied in the CES for the real ADA TBAS T5 carrier.
I am also running Shekkin's AMCU zip-on rear panel. The genuine YKK zippers are heavy duty, the stitching is excellent, and overall build quality is exactly what I would expect from a solid carrier.
The shoulder straps are another highlight. They are extremely low profile and utilise a Blue Force Gear Helium Whisper-style laminate material that feels lightweight but strong. Initially I had concerns about the visible stitching at the attachment points, however after inspecting the interior of the plate bags I found the straps are recessed into the carrier and reinforced internally. While I would still like to see these areas strengthened further, the carrier has performed well during field use alongside a field pack with no issues so far.
The internal admin pocket is a great addition and works well for routing communications cables or storing small field items. The front placard interface follows an AVS/JPC-style design, allowing placards to be swapped quickly. Shekkin's AMCU T5 three-magazine shingle placard is excellent quality and performs well when indexing and reinserting magazines. The elastic side loops on both sides of the plate bags are also a thoughtful touch, making cable management and PRC-152 antenna routing simple and effective.
Once fully assembled, the carrier is exactly what the genuine ADA TBAS T5 was designed to be: lightweight, low profile, comfortable, and functional.
With larger cummerbund options and a little additional reinforcement around the shoulder strap attachment points, I genuinely believe this carrier could outperform the genuine TBAS T5 in several areas, particularly when considering price, availability, and overall value for money.
Highly recommended.
Perfect IFAK Pouch, same color and top surface!
Great quality pouch. I have a old salty rav, and this weathered up beautifully to match it. And the weathering process didn't damage it, so I forsee a long wonderful lifetime
Solid mount, no issues. Looks great on the stock.
These work great with my AVS. Color and quality match the real deal. Tegris is sturdy and give the cummerbund plenty of rigidity.
The pouch is perfect in terms of color and quality. My only gripe is there is extra elastic separating the magazines. When inserting magazines they sometimes get caught on the extra elastic material.
Quality and color are spot on. What's stopping me from giving this 5 stars is that it does not hold 2 magazines easily. Otherwise good pouch.
