Good starter - AR5 Armor Testudo Lite Plate Carrier

I'm overall happy with this carrier. I bought this "lite" version due to the price here but it seems like it will do everything I want/need it to do. Shipping was very fast, about 3 days. Feels well made, sturdy, and is pretty comfortable even without the extra padding from the regular version. There are two long strips of loop on the back-side of both panels, so one could probably add extra padding if needed. I'm a tall and skinny kind of guy with a small chest so I'll be replacing the cummerbund with a smaller one eventually. Even with the flaps overlapped I'm still loose inside the vest and it's hard to get the front flap to stay down when worn like this due to the lack of hook/loop. The front kangaroo pouch is secured with a serious amount of the hook/loop so getting it open and installing an insert in there is a challenge but it definitely won't go anywhere once it is.
