Excellent plate carrier! Extremely comfortable and can hold front and side plates. The breathable mesh on the inside keeps you cool. The quick release shoulder straps are a great feature when trying to discard your carrier in a hurry. The construction appears to be of good quality and the color matches true OD Green. Overall this plate carrier is a great value and definitely at the top of the list for the price!

Before I begin this review, let me start of by saying that this particular seller is fantastic & that I highly recommend this particular seller (& the issues with the product are of no fault of the seller or vendor). Now as far as my review of the product, the plate carrier is of good quality & seems as if it would hold up to moderately rough use. The description from Condor is not entirely accurate though. There is also one major & potentially dangerous issue if you are an average framed male. I'm between 5'9-5'10 & fluctuate between 155-160lbs. 6x8 AR500 steel side plates do not probably fit the vest I received. The velcro strap will not reach far down enough to fasten & when the plates are inserted, the elastic section of the cummerbund sags so much that the side plates leave large sections of your sides unprotected (even when fully adjusted & tightened). Another problematic issue os that when worn, the back section of the plate carrier seats so low that an area that extends all the way to the middle of your shoulder blades is completely exposed. I unfortunately can only recommend this carrier to larger framed individuals who are prepared to get creative in order to solve the cummerbund/side plate sagging.Read full review

The carrier is great for the price, depending on needs. For a hobby setup this one is great, but the cummerbund sags with plates. You can modify several ways and remove the issue, but without sewing, the fixes probably aren't ideal. You could also just ditch the cummerbund for most of the time, but leave it as an option. For occasional usage the issue wouldn't worry me much, but for a professional or if you just want something that is more finely crafted, look elsewhere. I like the idea of having some give in the cummerbund, but the elastic can't resist the load from the side plates. You could possibly sew in some elastic straps in a more vertical fashion, but they'd still wear out. Just know what to expect when you buy this product and you won't be disappointed.

This is a great product and exactly what I was looking for. I ordered the CATI plates to go it this carrier and they fit perfectly. Also plenty of molle straps for extra add-ons and plenty of velcro as well. Shoulder straps are well padded so it doesn't cut into your shoulders. It's also very easily adjusted. I definitely would go this route again!

This Condor plate carriers is one of the best deals That I've found in a very long time. This item is well made, it easily holds my plates, and had good shoulder padding. The Velcro is VERY strong. Though I'm in the retired ranks now, I would have no problems using this if I was still employed.
