Yep
"Works as it should, adjustable to fit most body sizes. Shellback makes the best products available @ a cost most any one can afford."

Good build quality and nice value
"Excellent carrier for the money and has been reasonably comfortable in my time wearing it. For my specific application, this will be worn infrequently for training and will be stored in the included bag for when not in use. Given the initial build quality of this carrier, I expect that it will be rugged enough to perform a handful of times throughout the year."

Open Zipper and Remove in Emergencies
"I bought this carrier for the simple fact it was minimalist and the carry bag allows for discrete carry. Working in a school, it allows me to carry it back and forth to my vehicle and the beginning and end of the day and gives me piece that additional body armor and rifle ammo is nearby. Additionally, when in the trunk, I keep it right in front should I need to grab it quick when off-duty in my vehicle.
As for the material, I think it did require some breaking in but this was easily remedied by wearing it while taking the dog for a walk for a week or so. The shoulder straps are comfortable and the adjustable straps make for an individual fit with quick adjustments on the fly. The two mag holders and TQ holder offer up just enough extra ammo and piece of mind to get in and get the job done quickly. The zipper pulls on the carry bag allow for quick and easy removal under stress and the carrier is easy to throw over your head and strap down without much fine motor movement. The material is durable and I'm pretty confident it's going to last me the ten years the plates are good for. Granted, I'm not wearing it for everyday use but it will fit my needs and then some."

perfect, simple and to the point, great quality
"perfect simple plate carrier, does the bare minimum but made of quality. It's perfect for what it's supposed to be, a emergency active shooter kit or a back up kit."

Plate Carrier
"Simple and easy to get on and off."
— DAVID N. (5/5)
Use Shooter Cut Plates
"Actually ended up buying a second one. I keep one in my duty rig and keep the other in my POV with my “truck gun.” I put “shooters cut” plates in the front and SAAPI cut plates in the back. I was able to make the SAAPI cut plates work but there is a one inch gap at the top of the carrier because the plates are too wide at the top for the carrier. To Shellback’s credit they do list this carrier for shooter’s cut plates. Anyways I love these carriers. Simple, well built, fast to don and comfortable."
