Great plate carrier.

Posted by Blake on Dec 14th 2019

Starting off by saying, I wear plates a lot so buying this plate carrier came with a lot of research. Now since this is a new product I was doing mine based off the elite 2.0 and decided to pull the trigger on the 3.0. I haven’t been disappointed at all. The material feels sturdy and well made. The shoulder padding is amazing and I really enjoy the quick detachment. One thing I’d like to point out is that on the website there is no pictures of this in multicam although I am here to say it looks good. Overall I think anyone in the market for a lightweight and sturdy carrier won’t be disappointed in this.
