If it's a little different than I expected it evenly distributes the weight though

SHELLBACK TACTICAL BANSHEE ELITE 2.0 ACTIVE SHOOTER KIT WITH LEVEL IV 1155 PLATES...... Great product, solid construct, quality material. As A 10 yeared Army grunt with 24+ months in country, this plate carrier is the best bang for your buck. If you are gonna buy something that your life relies on spend the extra cash and get the banshee elite 2.0. Only complaint is the bumberbun strap is a tad wonkee but doesn't take away from the carrier rating.

Just received my Banshee Elite carrier and level 4 plates. I could not be happier. Ease of adjustment for the perfect fit. Quality construction. If you are at all considering acquiring one Do So you will not be disappointed.

Comfortable, distributes weight well, only wish the side “Mag pouches” were a little more easily accessible. I use one of the back ones for my radio but can not easily access it. The front most “Mag pouch” seems to be the only one I will actually use to store anything in. Overall I am very happy with this carrier and the plates that came with it. Hopefully it is never put to the test , but so far it appears that it would be up to the challenge if need be.

I have had a few PCs in my time. The load carrying ability and overall quality of this PC stands out. I would most definitely recommend!

The build quality on the plate carrier and IV rifle plates are military grade and operationally ready for any task in any climate. This is a must have for professionals doing bad things to bad people!

My 1st impression of the Banshee Elite 2.0 is that it is an exceptional carrier. The images online do not do it justice. I have not yet had it on for any lengthy period but based on a few decades in the military and the knowledge that comes with wearing a lot of carriers, my inspection, set up and initial wear concluded that it is well made and rugged with stitching in all the right places. The level IV plates fit the carrier perfectly with no excess space for them to slide around during movement. It provides a balance in protection of the key vulnerable areas areas of the body while maximizing mobility in all directions. And...it is light weight and comfortable even loaded down with a basic load +. I expect that this kit will enable comfortable wear on long duration ops and over many years. More to follow as I break it in. The customer support was awesome. I was sent the wrong carrier initially and with a simple phone call to customer support, the mistake was corrected in a very professional, disciplined, and courteous manner. The correct carrier was sent via UPS next day air at no cost to me. Based on the exceptional customer service, quality of the product, and comfort, I highly recommend the banshee Elite 2.0 to anybody in the military or Law Enforcement. It is so much more balanced, comfortable, and safe than traditional duty gear worn by Law Enforcement. My only regret is that the active shooter kit comes with the 8lbs plates (1155) instead of the 4.5 pound plates (1199). however if you cant move with an additional 8 lbs. then you better do more PT. Great Job SBT.

So, for starters I would like to state that I bought this kit for my own personal use. I was considering several other companies (LBT, SKD, etc.) but Shellback really blew me away. The prices were way better, I had physically seen other companies products and I wasn’t too impressed, but Shellback definitely was my #1. The customer service is impeccable and will be recommending them to everyone in LE. Great product guys, keep it up.

From start to finish, my order was seamless. I placed the order and receives the product in less than a week. It fits great, and is very comfortable. I will definitely be back when I need something else, and will refer colleagues to purchase as well.
