If you're a big guy like me (6'2, 310lbs) you know it can be a pain finding a vest that fits. I saw this one reviewed on YouTube from somebody who's opinion I trusted, and took the plunge.

So far I'm VERY happy with the purchase. Looks great. Appears well made. Seems to be very strongly constructed. I found the cumberbund to be a little tight, so I removed it and run it just with straps on the sides for easier breathing. As I get into better shape, I might reconsider, but I'm fine without for now.

It says its intended for to carry 10"x12", but I find that it easily holds the 11"x14" I need for my larger frame.

About the only downside I can think of, is that the real estate on the front fills up fast with pouches and whatnot. But that's probably just the way it goes with vests in general. I don't think you'll do any better anywhere else. Forgive the bad lighting in my picture. Everything blends together color wise better than it looks. Those are multicam pouches.

Great vest at half the cost of many alternatives. Highly recommend. Would buy again.

Product Quality if Great for the price. It is east to adjust to your size, but the only complaint I have is, the inner support straps are not placed very well. My hard plate moves around in the carrier and the straps do not stablize it. Also consider buying large plates for this to mitigate the movement inisde the carrier. The side plate holders are well made and the plates do not move.

I've tested this with some L3 heavy steel (10x12) plates (front and back), along with side plates (6x6), all with 10mm trauma pads. I may not always use this setup, especially the back plate, but wanted to test it out if I did need to do so. I've worn it doing work around the house and in the yard, as well as taken it out fully-loaded to the desert for some drills, various positions (prone, kneeling, standing). The material is breathable in the hot weather. If you are used to a Condor MOPC, this will be very similar.

It has held up well with multi-mag carriers in front, side mag carriers on left side and a knife horizontally mounted on the right. It couples well with a battle belt and/or drop-leg holster.

I was concerned mostly in verifying the plates held in place well and that I'd have an issue getting the adjustments tight enough to fit well. It is a common problem with people wearing their vests too low or the plate not being held in place to keep high enough on the chest (plates would droop too low).

The answer at least in my case: I'm about medium build, and I can get it tight enough around to feel secure, as well as ride high enough on the chest to cover vital areas. I did have to tie the side-plate holders together tighter in the back, so if feels too loose, check that area first.

The nylon is thick and high quality, this is not flimsy material and will need to be broken in to soften it and smooth it out. Stitching is stout, hook & loop is heavy duty. Anybody who knows how to properly weave MOLLE gear knows the webbing goes through alot of stress during the weaving process and the stitching has held up well through multiple attachments and re-attachments. The first week I got it, I loaded it down with as much stuff as I could and went on some runs with it to test its strength and break it in, I'm not seeing any stitching issues and there are no hot spots that chafe (granted you're able to get it tight to your body so it doesn't bounce around ). If you are a thin guy this will not adjust small enough to fit you tightly without at least dummy plates in it, I'm 6'0 200lbs with a relatively large chest, a bit of a beer belly, and a 36" waist; and without plates the waist straps are at the shortest length in order to fit somewhat tight around my mid-section, but not tight enough to keep the vest from bouncing when running, its loose around my chest with no real way to tighten around chest (unless plates are put in), and the cummerbund is loose on me unless I overlap each end of it over one another which adds small bit of girth due to the overlapping material and leaves less Velcro for the main front flap to attach to though the Velcro grabs very well so it won't come undone, but this keeps the front flap from seating fully causing the unsecured edges to stick out and get hung up on stuff like a sling. With all 4 plates in it, the cummerbund fits properly so that the front flap is able to fully utilize the entire surface area of Velcro,
and the chest area feels good and secure. So unless you're pretty overweight, you'll at least need dummy plates in it for it to fit. So far I'm happy with it, especially for the price, since I bought it as a home defense plate carrier, and I'm look forward to putting it through the paces for further review.

This feels good to wear except for the shoulders. It adjusts in basically all directions which is very nice, however the shoulder straps are make with hard foam that feels like a piece of wood on your shoulders. It is great other than that. I got it for training and air soft and so far it has done the trick just fine for me. I am thinking the shoulder strap padding might soften up.
