So I have had this PC for almost a month, and I have to say it is a great value for money. It's durable, easy to use, widely adjustable (even for skinny rails like me), and good looking. It also has plenty of MOLLE space and a nice kangaroo pouch.
Pros:
-Makes you look completely "operator" when set up properly
-Makes for an excellent less expensive setup
-Great quality as far as I can tell
-Easy to put on or remove plates
-Easy to put on or remove the PC
-Kangaroo pouch
-Very adjustable
Cons:
-Doesn't come with very good padding for your shoulders
-Weird adjustment system for the back of the cummerbund
Great Plate carrier and a decent price!
Pros:
Very Adjustable
Very light weight but still feels sturdy
Cons:
Color darker then expected
Shoulder pads a little iffy
This plate carrier looks and feels great once you get all the adjustments and extra tightening straps down. It's coyote brown, not that lighter color tan like the older condor plate carriers. It has plenty of molle space for whatever you need and it's a very light weight slim look. I'm running a Haley strategic D3 chest rig with malis clips and it's holding and looking great, also have AR500 lvl IV plates (front and back) with the trauma pads. Holds them nicely but I do have to tighten the strap that holds them in very tight or to their end point. The cummerbunds have and opening on the inside where you can put soft armor but I have AR500 6X6 side sapis and they do not fit! The pocket is to small. So if you can find ,4x4 plates or soft armor there you go. Also on that note. The pocket just runs all the way through to the back of the cummerbund so if you have inserts. Good chance they will slide on you. The front and back of the plate carrier looks exactly the same. Also the kangaroo pouch ID nice to have. I have the d3 extra two mag Holder velcro to it and holds two mags in there nice n firm. Is it worth $125. Yea. If you go for the brand then get a banshee. But for the same features pretty much. This I's your plate carrier.
Pros:
-light weight
-coyote brown
-lots of molle
-very adjustable
-holds plates nicely (front and back)
-slim look and not to bulky.
-drag handle.
Cons:
-CANT HOLD SIDE SAPIS!! 6X6 ONES
-a lot of extra straps (where if you don't just them and tie them down)
-shoulder pads are a little weird but feels nice once angst correctly
-cummerbund (in the back they slide out if you don't have the set or pre set (meaning I enter my carrier from its right side and my left cummerbund is always strapped in)
-the pocket where you insert your plates. The strap that holds them in. You have to tighten it all the way or close it to the edge to hold plates nice n firm and high on your chest.
-no quick detach buckles to help get your carrier off faster or quick release.
