Cool until it ain't - Rothco Lightweight Armor Plate Carrier Vest

Like everyone else says, bought this piece of gear because all the reviews said good things about it. When I received, first thing I noticed were the shoulder straps. Look and felt like they would eventually rip. Unlike others, this rig was going to be for my daily duty use. I started testing with 10x12 steel. The weight alone was cause for concern as I could already see the stitching stretching from the shoulder straps. Only talking 22 lbs! Then, the adjustable straps are too long! At its shortest setting, it hangs at minimum appropriate coverage from the collar bone. Then, the straps hurt. It needs padding. Okay. So next I switched to composites. Better but the carrier remains awkwardly extra long. Then I noticed this rig has no ventilation. So you tighten it down and eventually sweat like its concealed soft armor. What's the point of this rig again? Oh yeah, Cuz it looks good but not really to those who know what's what.
