I love this setup I really do. Shellback seems to be a really good company. The only reason I gave 4 stars and not 5 was the plate carrier Velcro that holds the flap down over the cumberbun has ripped away from the flap itself. All I did was pull it up when I was putting it on. Hopefully I can see it myself. I know they have a lifetime warranty on the plate carrier but I probably won’t send it back because I need it for work and can’t afford to wait for them to send out a new one or repair this one. So 4 stars.

A comfortable well made plate carrier with plenty of room and options to customize it for your needs. The purchase process was easy with great customer support to answer some questions. Shipping was very fast.

Quick shipping

This carrier is great and extremely comfortable. And it fits really well.

Great price. Fast shipping. Excellent product.

I’m very pleased with the carrier. Well made and fits great. Plenty of adjustment on the shoulders and side straps. The Level IV plates are heavy, as expected, so the mesh lined shoulder pads are a huge benefit. It also has padding on the front and back which makes it very comfortable. The quick connects on the shoulders and sides make it very easy to get on and off. Plenty of mag storage on the cummerbund along with the triple stack open top mag pouch I purchased. The carrier doesn’t give me any issues around the shoulders when presenting a pistol or shouldering a rifle. I would highly recommend the carrier. Hopefully I am never able to review how the plates hold up. Very quick shipping. I got a shipping notification within 24 hours and the package was picked up at the end of that day. I did a lot of research before deciding to make this purchase. I even saw videos from other armor companies and the guys in those videos were running Shellback carriers with the other companies plates. That really helped push me towards Shellback Tactical. I believe you will not be disappointed with their products.

The banshee elite 2.0 carrier is very comfortable even with the 7.2 lbs Lvl IV inserted. Ordered on Sunday, and it arrived at my door on Tuesday. Can’t beat that! My only real complaint was being able to use TANGODOWN 10% discount code that was at the top of site. When I tried to put the code in that was clearly on the screen it said I couldn’t use it due the code expiring the day before I submitted my order. A little misleading but otherwise it’s an amazing product and even better shipping!

The customer service was great and the fast shipping time even better. This product is exactly what they say it is. Great quality and very comfortable. I recommend this company and product to anyone.

First I want to say everyone I have spoken to at Shellback Tactical is nothing but professional and helpful. The professionalism of their staff alone adds a star on the rating of the product. Oh and if their site shows an item in stock, once you place that order be looking for the shipped out email, these folks do not play around with shipping out their product. Now on to the plate carrier, love the carrier, love the size which if you are a medium size person or smaller, this carrier might not be for you just being honest, it is made for a large to 2 XL we have experimented with, will be trying it on a 3XL person soon to see if they can order this exact carrier. Pros: The cumberbund will adjust from large to 2XL already proven that, plus the availability for side plates with pouch kit, 6 integrated pockets with the bungee retention for magazines or radios puts this cumberbund on top of my list. The velcro retention and lace up adjustability of the cumberbund allows for excellent adjustability. The PALS on this carrier is also great, but on the front accessory / admin pouch there is a desperate need of additional vertical webbing which I will explain in the cons. Front accessory / admin pouch for storing small items. Rear accessory pouch for storing small items or you can use their recommended bladder. Should strap pads are very comfortable and really a huge factor on dispersing the load on your shoulders. Easy adjustability of the should straps, quick disconnect also. Manufacturing of the plate carrier seems to be solid, I have not found a seam or lose thread anywhere as of this time and had the carrier for over a month now. The armor plates will never fall out of this carrier, the plates load in from the bottom but with their velcro retention they are never coming out on their own. Cons: The front accessory / admin pouch needs three additional rows of PALS added vertically to match the two rolls of horizontal with velcro on them to it for a knife sheath for example, which the addition webbing installed vertically is a wish item for my customization and does not hinder this carrier. I am roughly 1 inch short on the proper placement for the height I prefer " my vitals are covered but I like my carriers just a little bit higher especially if a threat from an elevated shooter" and cannot achieve that due to the shoulder pads conflicting This is the only two things I can find on this plate carrier that I can suggest improvement on. 5 Star rating for this plate carrier 5 Star for Shellback's staff.
