Amazing

Posted by Trevor on Oct 17th 2023

I was worried it wouldn’t be that great due to price but if you want to keep your kit minimalistic this is definitely the carrier for you weight distribution is excellent and there is plenty of MOLLE for you to have whatever you need on it!! Highly recommend

2.0 Plate Carrier

Posted by Turner on Aug 23rd 2023

Great system, great quality, even better price. Arrived 3 days after ordering, well packaged. Definitely recommend as an affordable, yet quality plate carrier. For reference I'm 6', 210lbs and it adjusted perfectly to my build.

Great Affordable Carrier

Posted by Jake Patrician on Aug 17th 2023

I got this plate carrier on sale, picked lowest shipping option and it was SUPER fast to arrive. Fits great, I’m a smaller guy so I could see it being a bit small for larger fellows. For the money super happy with my purchase and would recommend to anyone looking for a affordable but quality plate carrier

Amazing product! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Posted by Sam on Jun 12th 2023

The product arrived just as described and in record speed! I've had this carrier for a few months now and i really enjoy it! It feels great. It's not combersom in any way, shape, or form. It's comfortable, and very durable. The laser cut molle is fairly tight upon arrival so it's a slight bit difficule to attach things to it but like everything in life you just got to use it a bit and it'll be stretched out enough to fit your needs perfectly. I currently have a mag pouch and a dump pouch attached to mine and they aren't going anywhere. The carrier holds the plates very tightly and very well, the plates definitely will never fall out of the carrier no matter how much stress it put on it. When the "carry me buddy" strap on the back is yanked on by the force of 10 men it slightly ripped the seam on cover but that was very hard to do. All in all, i highly recommend this product, or any other carrier made by Shellback Tactical.

Amazing Comfort

Posted by Josh on Jul 1st 2022

After I'd bought the shoulder pads that Shellback makes (and I loved them) I figured it was time I consider changing what the loadout of my Carrier would be, but I didn't have hundreds of spare dollars to spend. Enter the Shield. After considering my options, I chose this one for the more modular Molle setup. I was not disappointed when it arrived. My plates fit snugly inside the pockets and there was room for my cushions behind them besides (although I did have to make some adjustments to those.) It's incredibly comfortable to wear around and although I haven't made use of it in an operational environment, I have no doubt it would serve me well. Where it sits on your torso feels good and keeps your important bits covered. Great buy, especially for the price. I could wear this thing all day.

Very well made but has one drawback

Posted by Hunter on Apr 4th 2022

First off, the carrier is very well made. The stitching is good and the material is solid. The color is great as well. The laser cuts are precise and not the type to sag under weight from full mag pouches. The only down side to this carrier is the cummerbund. It’s super awkward and I had to loosen up the bungee cord all the way for it to reach all the way around and not have the massive hook n loop panels showing from behind the belly flap. I do NOT have a large gut in any way at all so I don’t know why it’s designed that way. To get the vest to fit properly, one of the cummerbund sides has to be pulled out showing the bungee cord in the back. Strange fitting cummerbund over all. I may just order a better fitting one from UARM to supplement this great looking vest.

Shield 2.0 Far better than you'd think

Posted by 9th Garden Precision on Feb 16th 2022

The Shellback Tactical Shield 2.0 was out of the box far better than expected for the price it's retailing for. This was my first purchase from this company and it won't be my last, from product, shipping to customer service all around squared away. Fits nice, not bulky, adjustable for different carry and uses definitely something I'll be putting to use. Oh and Amanda is the bis ❤ Thank you Shellback Tactical team
