The primary function of these pads is naturally padding, making life a little less unbearable when wearing heavy body armor. Additionally, the PALS webbing offers a place to mount small pouches and other accessories. The Velcro One-Wrap loops make cable management a breeze, much better than commonly used closed elastic loops which require disconnecting cables, tubes, and antennas when you want to remove your radio or hydration bladder from your carrier.

I have no idea why my cheap ass waited until now to get some shoulder pads for my PC. If you know, JPCs are a minimalistic carrier so if you have heavy plates then grabbing the carrier by the shoulder straps will be very flimsy, wobbly and very difficult to put on over your head.
These shoulder pads provide that extra structure and now donning my PC is practically effortless. And then when wearing it... Wow. I probably could wear this all day. Enough said.
Pro tip, multicam black JPC goes hard with the solid green ones. Just placed an order for my other PC (Velocity Systems APC) and a chest rig. Both fit for confirmation so now I need 2 more. Highly recommend.
