    Fits well after adjusting; however, I have a 45 inch chest with broader shoulders than average and I had to tighten the shoulder straps pretty close to max. The description says on size fits all, but if you’re not very muscular or super skinny this may fit a little big. I tightened the straps so the front plate sits just under my collar bone. Overall fits nice and snug. Brought it to the gym and felt good moving around.

    Easy adjustment for a perfect fit.

    Great Carrier, awesome for burlier lads that still need medium plates.

  4. Andrew Barrick (verified owner)

    perfect replacement armor for anything military wise, lightweight, snug, and a perfect fit for someone small like me! Will recommend to friends

  5. Richard Price (verified owner)

    Side restraints/straps could be wider and maybe redesigned to be more wearer friendly to connect etc.

  6. Brandon (verified owner)

    Fit and finish are superb. I am a slim person and it has plenty of adjustability for me.

    Got this one for my son and he Loves it. Much better quality than his Condor Carrier which is falling apart. better fit and mobility too. Highly recommend it if you’re in the marker for a good plate carrier. I purchased one for myself with lightweight plates before getting one for my son.

    Confortable, and well made. It seems like it should be able to endure carrying the weight of a rig for a while.
