Excellent level 3A ballistic defense, easy to adjust for a good fit , price point is really good. I’m a security officer I work some clubs which are dumps and attract the worst people so I never leave home without my vest. I’ve seen plenty of YouTube videos on this exact vest and it will work it’ll do its job.

The last time I HAD to wear any type of personal protective ballistic equipment was over 10 years ago in the ARMY. Having said that this vest seemed to be a good civilian version of the kit we used during my “high speed low drag” days. It’s a bit lighter due to the softer material of the plates and less cumbersome since i also not carrying/wearing a ruck, ammo, water and rifle. It’s modularity and expandability is clear giving the various MOLLE cuts, hook/loop, areas, buckles and “bellyband” that can accommodate side plates or other gear and equipment. I’m (+/-) 6ft (71.5”) tall weigh about 215 and currently wear this daily (when working). Can’t speak to its true durability as I’ve never been struck by any incoming fire (knock wood) but as I said I feel @ least as safe and secure in this rig as I did with my old GI kit that was likely bought in bulk from the lowest bidding vendor our quartermaster could source. I do plan on acquiring 3 more (as bugout/end of days prep) and upgrading to level IV, however, until then I would recommend this vest as a good entry level buy you can expand or customize as you like.
Pros:
- Versality, coolness, utility
- wont break the bank
- Low level threat protection
Cons:
- low level threat protection
- semi discreet when worn under clothing/uniform
Best Used for:
- Low risk/threat environments
- entry level kit option
Would recommend: Yes

Amazing plate carrier for the value this was my first plate carrier and so I’m not too familiar with price points but while shopping I did notice majority of them were much higher priced than the roughly $175 I paid for the carrier including to level three A Shooters cut panels which also happen to be of the lightweight variety that conform to the body! I would highly recommend based on my personal opinion it seems to be of high-quality and well-made and has all the needed features based on my research….

The product was better than I expected for the price I paid . For those of us who want to protect ourselves this is an excellent product. The word bargain cannot described how I felt once I received my product.

No surprises here. This vest suits my every day need as a security officer, especially during these times (COVID-19, George Floyd riots). The vest fit is customizable, and satisfactory. My only concern is the stabilization of the side straps, my co-worker’s vest they seem to fold and sag even when tight.
Would recommend: Yes

For the price, this seems legit. The quality is good. Took a little playing around to get the fit correct, and a little more time for it to break in as it is very stiff. I wore the carrier around the house one day to break it in. Hopefully, never have to use it.
Would recommend: Yes

Carrier seems to be of good quality. Fits well. Velcro is strong. Good plates for the money. I wish the plate for the back of the carrier was larger (about 4 inches taller and a little wider. Great value. Still great for the range, training classes, etc.
Cons:
- rear plate could be larger
Would recommend: Yes

A fith of the price for the same armor. The armor is ultra light weight and allows officers who aren’t used to armor to have a high level of protection the armor is well reviewed on YouTube and displays a high level of protection for normal law enforcement functions
