Solid basic plate carrier

"Fits well, easy to set up and adjust. Very much an old school plate carrier design without many bells or whistles, but it appears to be very well built."

— Kenneth Z. (5/5)

So far so good

"Everything seems good so far. I’m using this as my rifle plates to put over my duty vest in case of an active shooter/threat incident. Fits fine just over my body. Not sure if I’ll be able to place it over my duty vest and still get it to Velcro together. Hope it all works out."

— Russell M. (4/5)

Great duty level carrier

"Great quality carrier for fast movement type of work. I have been running this carrier for about a month now and it remains comfortable and the stitching is holding very well even after rolling around on hard dirt. I ended up getting some Agelite side panel pouches for the LAPG brand lvl4 curved side plates. Due to the good quality of the MOLLE stitching everything is staying in place. I will end up putting a thin Grey Ghost admin pouch on the front velcro section when that arrives. So far when it comes to domestic made carriers Shellback Tactical is hard to beat due to the overall quality and ruggedness of stitching and materials used. At the moment I have a 100oz Cammelback MOLLE blader attached to the back with clips and it is working very well. It may not be Tactical Taylor or Blueforce Gear but it still is worth far more than what I paid."

Awesome

"This is my first carrier, so not much to compare it to... But it looks and feels high quality. Excited to get it set up and start training with it."

— cody m. (5/5)

So far so good

"Have only had it for a few weeks now but so far it feels like it’s made solid. Super light and has solid padding. We’ll see how it holds up"

— Aaron B. (5/5)

2 big complaints. The front

"2 big complaints. The front pocket pouch couldn't even hold mags without ripping on one of the corners because it was made with no room to expand once the plate is inserted. Second, the moly strips on the top section and bottom section of the back dont match up."

— James D. (2/5)

Worth the price

"Good quality and price"

— Ben (5/5)

Best plate carrier i've had

"I like this plate carrier alot"

— Tony (5/5)

Good carrier

"I saw someone had a negative review regarding the molle, however I took my chances because it was a good deal. Well my experience with this carrier is great. The carrier is well made and I have not had any issues attaching any molle attachments. Everything is solid and squared away. If I had any complaint, it would be because the straps are stupid long. Even if I shortened it all the way it still hangs too low. I had to basically overlap the shoulder straps and force the pads to wrap around the material to get it to ride on my chest correctly. I've had this issue with other brands so it's not shellback specific. Just wish companies would make the straps adjustable for small people. Other than that it's a great carrier."

— K. S. (5/5)

off-color, no customer service

"For the multicam carrier, the actual color of this vest is a lot of more yellowish rather than the darker forest green shown in the picture, color doesn't match to the picture on the website. Also, there is no customer service, sent two emails to the customers service a week ago, but have no response yet."
