LT's Review of NcSTAR VISM Plate Carrier W/External Hard Armor Pockets

As far as plate carriers go, this is obviously a budget one. It fits standard 10inX 12in or 11in X 14in plates, front and back, so it's functional. The fabric is so stiff that when I put it on (and I'm 6'1") that it stands up way above my shoulders. The upper front velcro panel is also folded over, as if there wasn't enough room to include it, so it's all scrunched and looks tacky. I wouldn't say that would be the case for all of them, perhaps my just got folded for the first part of its life. It has a velcro panel across the top (front and back) and a huge molle panel for 3/4 of the entire front and back. You can load it up, but some say it's best suited for aircross or paintball folks rather than the weekend warrior, but I say for the price, you can see how to best put it to use.
Pros:
  • Versatility at a reasonable price point.
Cons:
  • None
Would Recommend: Yes
