I wear body armor for up to 9 hours a day in a low profile environment in Afghanistan. This is perfect for what I wanted. About as minimalist as it gets. Seems pretty durable; good value for the $. Steel plates fit tight, I don't think ceramic will fit, too thick.

Unlike another reviewer's experience, my 10x12 plates fit very well in both front and rear pockets. After a trial fitting, even my surprised wife exclaimed, "wow--these aren't bad to wear at all!" Our plates are curved with the shooters cut (top corners cut off). Similarly, the medium carrier works great with my daughter's 8x10 plates. Five stars--like all Blackhawk products that I've purchased so far!

No wasted weight. Just carry my plates over the soft layer.

Just what I wanted. It is just a plate carrier, not a vest. Can wear it under baggy clothes.

This is a great low vis carrier for the price. Holds plates securely, very easy to adjust. Shoulder padding is removable if desired. Solid equipment.
