Best fit I've found for a plate carrier for a bigger guy. I'm 6'3 250.

Received my plate carrier with plates timely, shipping and ordering was fast and convenient. Once received, my optimizing and excitement for a new carrier and this company diminished. Not one seam from left to right or front to back on this PC we’re symetrical. Inconsistent seam cuts, seam sewing, not symetrical plate pockets. Just all around bad, I can’t find two consistent seams. I don’t trust this thing to last. Purchased new PC, didn’t expect to receive second quality. This PC doesn’t hold a candle next to my AR500 or my Crye. Not in the same league. I won’t be buying another shellback plate carrier. Shellback Response: Bret, my apologies for the issue on this order. We back all of plate carriers with a lifetime warranty against craftsmanship and usage. We are more than happy to replace the defective plate carrier with a brand new one or provide a full refund. We stand behind our gear and always will.

Very well built, love that it’s American made and the warranty, but there is a degree of difficulty getting this off and on (over your head), not feasible in a true emergency, needs a quick release function.

Just set of my SF Carrier and the weight difference is amazing! Should of switched it up long time ago!

I have used this Carrier for my duty vest, and keep it in my Cruiser. This is a “bang for the buck” carrier. I also have the Rampage 3.0 and this is 10 fold the carrier I use more. It’s sleek, it’s sharp, it’s everything you need to use in LE or to Operate. 10/10 love this carrier and will absolutely buy another if I need it.

First let me say that i think this is well made and comfortable to wear, for the price point i would buy it again. Its hard to properly size things off the internet, so for reference, I'm 5'-7" ,175lbs i bought a medium and it fits me well. Running it with RMA 1155 plates (10"x12"x1") they fit perfectly. I have two gripes, firstly, as others have pointed out, the kangaroo mag pouches it comes with suck. They make it hard to put on the carrier with magazines in and its pointless to store your rig without mags in it. This is not a big deal as it is easily and cheaply remedied by using different mag pouches. Second and more importantly is the cummerbund, the two halves of it are tied together with elastic cord that has to be knotted. This means that the fit of the cummerbund takes a ton of finesse, especially if you aren't greatat tying knots. Buckles, like those on most plate carriers would have made the waist fit better, been sturdier and be easier to adjust. Without changing the design all together, a huge QoL improvement would be if these came out of the box with cord stops installed here.

I bought this for my husband and he is absolutely satisfied! It's very high quality and is exactly what was looking for. Highly recommend!

I bought the SF plate carrier earlier this year. Not long after setting it up I was in the field training and putting it to work. I have not had a single issue and freaking love it! It's a good feeling to know your equipment isn't going to fail you when you're training or out in the field!

I'm 6'3 220lbs I have finally found a plate carrier that fits like a glove I purchased the XL it fits my 11x14 plates and 6x6 side plates no problem. I have tried many other companies (Crye Precision, LBT, 5.11, Rothco, Condor) and this by far is my favorite and the most comfortable plate carrier I have owned especially fully kitted out with plates and mags and other essentials. Good padding, good velcro and breathable I couldn't ask for more. The shipping was fast and the quality is there. Thank you Shellback Tactical!
