Lightweight and Comfortable
I've been wearing this vest for 10+ hours per day, 5 days/week for a few months now as an armed courier(armored truck). I use 3a soft plates(10x12 F/B and 6x6 cummerbund). The plates all fit perfectly. The weight is almost unnoticeable. It breathes very well, for a carrier. Not saying you won't sweat.
The velcro on any part of this vest is ridiculous. I added sew on strips to the top of the pocket because it was TOO sticky for my needs. The snap and a little bit of velcro grabbing is all I need. I have almost hit myself in the face numerous times while lifting the pocket as well. Very strong.
The reason I give it a 4 star is some of the stitching along the Molle has come undone, but none of the Molle has actually detached. And also the cummerbund runs big. I ordered the L/XL. The vest fits great, but I have the cummerbund adjusted as small as it will go, and I could still go smaller. I'm roughly 6' tall, 230 pounds(not muscular, but average). If I could, I'd order the L/XL vest with the S/M cummerbund and I think it would be perfect.
