Helpful Positive Review Combat Veterans review of the Rothco Lightweight Carrier by Ben America, June 9, 2018
The carrier is great all around. For the money you can’t beat it. There are a few minor improvements it needs, but overall I recommend it. It looks great and is incredibly lightweight. The material is also very nice too.

Helpful Positive Review Bang for the buck by Ryan, August 19, 2018
Great little vest for the money. I needed something that fit ESAPI plates for work, but I didn't want to spend $500, because I don't wear hard armor all the time. This vest is very similar to the CRYE vest that my buddy has, but obviously not nearly ...
