Hey everyone, I wanted to take a break from the tips and include a review of my favorite Plate Carrier (PC.)
I have been wearing this plate carrier for the last 3 years, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations in several key areas. First and foremost, the construction of this plate carrier is outstanding. The materials used are tough and durable, making it resistant to wear and tear during intense training sessions or in outdoorenvironments. The stitching is strong, with no loose threads or signs of deterioration, which provides peace of mind when you need reliable gear.
Comfort is another essential factor, and this plate carrier delivers. It is a minimalist pc, so there is no extra material to worry about. Adjustable straps allow for a customized fit, ensuring that the carrier stays securely in place without shifting around as you move. The overall design distributes weight evenly, reducing strain on your body.
One of the standout features is the modular capability of the carrier. With multiple attachment points and compatible MOLLE webbing, you can easily customize it to suit your specific needs. Whether you’re setting up for reconnaissance missions, regular patrols, or its intended purpose: VBSS/maritime missions; the versatility of this plate carrier allows for seamless personalization.
In terms of protection, this plate carrier only accommodates enough space for the size plate that you use. This means if you wear medium plates, order a medium. It also does not offer a space inside the plate area for soft armor. There are options for attaching soft armor, but it is not organic to this.
The aesthetic appeal should also not be overlooked. The plate carrier comes in various colors and camouflage patterns, catering to different preferences and operational requirements. This versatility means you can choose one that suits your style, all while ensuring it blends in with your environment.
