Primarily this carrier is designed to carry a pair of ballistic plates… E/X/SAPI, Stand-alone lvl 4, swimmer/shooter cut plates… all good to go. Primarily aimed at the Law Enforcement and Security community in the US and abroad, it’s proven to be a big hit, with many reviews and testimonials extolling the merits of this carrier. I’d be interested to see if I’m not the only one who though this… I’ve come to the conclusion that this being one of the only carriers I’ve owned that isn’t covered in molle, that this one difference probably plays a big role in its feel and appearance.ĭon’t let those soft appearances fool you though… this is a tough carrier. Being made from lightweight cordura and a significant amount of colour matched loop field Velcro covering over half its outward surface, it also has an unusually soft (for lack of a better word) feel and look about it. Upon arrival, I was immediately taken by how light and flexible the carrier is. There’s less than an inch difference between the Large and Medium plate carriers, If the carrier is going to look silly on my frame, another inch really isn’t going to make much difference. Without my preferred colour and size, I stuck to my random logic of buy it in Multicam and Medium (patience is not a virtue I possess) Tactical-Kit happened to have a few bits I was looking for, and a quick browse through their site yielded a couple more last minute “add to cart” essentials (surely I’m not the only one… gotta make that postage count □) With their advice on board and ready to buy some nylon, I went hunting! Unfortunately, large carriers in Ranger Green were out of stock everywhere. Initially I was looking for a repro LV-MBAV or possibly even PACA vest, after a pretty open question asking for advice on the Facebook group Real Steel Advice And Sales I was given the same sage advice from a number of people, Including possibly the King of Gear Whores, Maple Leaf Tactical. So, a few months ago I happened to be in the market for a plate carrier, one that would be low profile yet offer an option to attach my D3CR to allow me to scale up/down as the mission required. All have had their benefits, all have had their drawbacks. I tend to go through stages of buying and selling plate carriers, I’ve owned “Recon” style carriers like the HSGI Weesatch and the Eagle Industries Rhodesian Recon Vest and more dedicated “Direct Action” carriers such as the Warrior DCS and reproduction copies of the once popular LBT 6094 and Crye JPC. On the other, they’re bulky… when set up with plates (even dummy plates) they can restrict movement and make simple tasks such as shouldering a rifle or throwing a grenade that little bit more challenging. On the one hand they offer a massive amount of flexible storage, and when well designed and set up they can offer a comfortable and balanced load carriage capability.
