Overall I would give this plate carrier a good review. The materials and stitching seem to be of good quality and heavy duty. The pattern is true muticam black and looks sharp. My only real negatives (hence the 4 stars) is that the carrier does not have any padding in the shoulder straps. They are just simple velcro staps that are functional but bare bones. For the price point I would have appreciated a little padding and also the ability to secure radio Mike wires and hydration tubes across the shoulder straps. My other concern are the attachment buckles they appear to be heavy duty, but with one quick pull on the pull cord and they detach. My concern is that they may get detached in a physical altercation. I am used to the first spear type of buckles that you have to pull up or down on to get them to release. I have not had enough time to truly test the buckles so maybe they will be ok in the long run. Overall I would recommend this plate carrier.

plate carrier has tons of MOLLE space on the front, sides, and rear. Makes it a great tool to attach one of Condor's multi purpose pouches, mag carriers, hydro packs, etc. Lightweight construction so it isnt overbearing with plates.

Only reason I put 4 stars is the cummerbund isnt the easiest to adjust without some tinkering and there arent many videos, etc explaining.

Bought it and now it’s my main plate carrier

High quality piece. I used the Spartan Armor ceramic plates with their trauma plates as well and the fit and finish is superb. I was on the fence with other manufacturers that have the cable system for quick doffing. It seemed time consuming to put back together. The Cyclone is fast and easy, one pull on a cord and it’s off. Super easy to reassemble, while off or wearing it. Great plate carrier, I would recommend this to anyone.
