Most Helpful Positive Review good quality with one flaw
This is my first on-concealable carrier - so take my review with grain of salt. The quality of this carrier is outstanding. Materials, stitching, velcro, buckles all look solid and heavy duty. I think it will last even in a real time combat situation. My biggest complain is the way side straps are attached to the front. The velcro from each side go under the front panel’s flap. The problem is that once you have 3 mags installed into the pockets on front panel, it is almost impossible to flap it open to attach/remove side panels. You can open maybe 30% of its normal action, which is enough to u...

Would recommend but be wary informed

by Josh, Verified Owner from KS, United States Written on November 20, 2025
Plate carrier fits as described for the most part. I got the XL. For reference I have a 50” chest and 42” waist. Cumberbund does wrap all the way around. Wish it was a little bigger. Bought this to workout in as well as the same reasons anybody else would get one. As I keep losing weight I’m sure the cumberbund will fit better. Only complaint is side pouches do rub my sides while I do cardio but a t shirt solves this problem for the most part.
Pros:
  • None
Cons:
  • Cumberbund

comfortability

by braveheart, Verified Owner from WA, United States Written on May 10, 2025
With other plate carriers even military approved plate carriers you will not find one better than this becausecon almost all plate carriers they have molle pouches on the inside on the sides well like it says in the description theses ones are built in they even have breathable mesh inner on the sides which makes it the best plat carrier on the market

I bought it and got the wrong size or so I thought. It ended up fitting great and is very adjustable and comfortable. Definitely buying more products from here. Great quality so far.

Good quality but lacking quality control

by prepared for whatever, Verified Owner from UT, United States Written on April 26, 2024
Received my shellback plate carrier and was pretty impressed by the build quality. I put it on and all the adjustments were solid. I went to put my mags in the front placard it could only get 2 of the 3 m4 magazines in. I undid the Velcro and tried it again by moving everything over and making the pockets open as much as possible and still no dice. So I submitted a return, since the built in mag carrier is messed up but if it wasn’t I would definitely be happy with this carrier

Sizing runs very small

by John, Verified Owner from OR, United States Written on April 6, 2024
The quality seems to be good but they run small and it doesn't fit.I would suggest going up one size and possibly up 2 sizes.

exactly what i wanted

by Findmehunting, Verified Owner from CA, United States Written on January 18, 2024
Optics generally has the best price on products and this is no exception. Fits great. Super comfortable. Make sure to get the right size for what plates you have. Keep in mind your environment. Black May be best for urban use and multi am for forested. Would definitely buy again. I like how much storage availability it has.
