Testudo Gen 2

Waiting impatiently for it to arrive.

The plate carrier is 3 lb 6.5 oz.

Level III 10x12 plates 8 lb. each.

Triple mag pouch for six AR magazines 0.4 lb.

Double mag pouch for two pistol magazines 0.5 lb.

IFAK 1.5 lb.

Camelbak® ChuteMag 1l canteen and carrier 1 lb. 5.9 oz.

OKC 3S bayonet and scabbard 1 lb. 4.9 oz.

M12 Holster 0.5 lb.

Grand total of 23 lb.

Add six loaded PMAG Gen M3 magazines 1.1 lb. each.

Add two loaded M&P 9 magazines 0.7 lb. each.

Add a loaded M&P 9 2.2 lb.

Add a liter of water 2.2 lb.

35.4 lb. of hurricane looter prep!

This is up a bit from the 19.5 lb of the 5.11 Tactical Purse Bailout Bag and the same gear.

What the purse bailout bag lacks is 42 points of semi-ablative, non-healing DR for the chest and vitals (front and back only).  In fact, nearly the entire increase in mass is from the plates.

I should also add two 5.9 oz. each trauma pads to this ensemble as well, they don't seem to have a GURPS effect.  This brings the all-up weight to 36.1 lb.

This should be compared to the PASGT/ALICE system:

29 lb. with DR 10/5* over the chest, abdomen and vitals; plus you get a folding entrenching tool!

M1956/67 gear and M69 flak vest totals up to 29.6 lb. with an addition of an entrenching tool for DR 4/2* over the chest, abdomen and vitals.

This kit in Technomancer probably wouldn't get the 1,000 energy and $375,000 spent to make the plates half the mass; but 200 energy and $3,000 to drop the plates to 6 lb. each might be worth it...  Probably no.
