aweosme carrier!
This carrier is super nice quality for the price. Cannot beat this carrier with a set of caliber armor plates and trauma pads. Perfect combo.

Exactly what I expected it to be
I just recently purchased this carrier with the level 4 plates and it is exactly what I wanted and expected. For the price I can’t imagine you could ask for more. It is high quality material and stitching. It feels solid and has plenty of surface area for Molle attachments including the cummerbund if you’re into that. Shoulders have sufficient padding to provide an acceptable level of comfort. The only thing I didn’t like was the secondary buckles underneath the cummerbund. I don’t really see the point in them and I felt it was uncomfortable having plastic buckles squeezing into me underneath an already sufficiently secured vest. However, the secondary buckles I speak of area removable so I got rid of them and am very happy with the comfort and fit/coverage. I’ve already recommended it to numerous law enforcement colleagues.

Fantastic carrier for the price
There was a mixup with the order initially, but ST made it right and shipped very fast - very happy with the CS. I was looking for a fairly slimmed-down PC as I'm trying to maximize mobility and reduce weight/bulk, and this fits the bill perfectly. Construction seems to be very solid, good stitching, padding is right where you want it and nowhere else. They actually included the secondary cummerbund strap kit with it, so you can wear it without the main cummerbund if you really want to trim down. Very happy with the carrier and the purchase.

Good plate carrier
This is a decent plate carrier for the money as compared to more expensive options in the market and better quality then the cheaper options. I would of bought one of Shellbacks more expensive options but i was late to prep and due to covid and riots choices are minimal. This is a good option only thing i dont like are the big clips on the shoulder straps and unadjusted when removing but that is a easy fix just tape it or double loop the strap but overall a good plate carrier.
