Breathable other than the velcro uptop not having molle it would be 10/10

Lightweight and slim lined

Fits well and good material

Having recently purchased this item and using it lightly I have come to some conclusions first the PROs are it is very lightweight with great sizing/fit, right out of the box the carrier fit me very well as well as my 10×12 plates. The durability an stitching are more than adequate for the intended use(not being current/former military/law enforcement). I appreciate the low profile simple design of the carrier, it wears well with my belt kit(sso)underneath and rucksack(filbe)over top of the shoulders. Now some of the CONs. I found that are minor but if addressed would make this a winner of a 5 star review without a doubt. Starting with the colors available. Making it available in olive drab or multicam would be awesome. Another area I thought was sadly overlooked was the cummberbund. I didn't really care for the slick skeleton cummberbund personality but would have much preferred it to be a quick release system which would have been very helpful. Another upgrade would be to have the loop field on top down with laser cut molle underneath an the velcro field over top doing away with the flap on the front plate bag and replaced with the option to use the VAS accessories would have been such an awesome addition to the plate carrier. The shoulder straps are so close to perfect with only simple change they would be, adding a slight angle so as to allow for them to be easily lifted over the head without ripping off my ears would greatly increase function. One thing I loved with this plate carrier was the way the shoulder straps were sewn into the back plate bag behind the padding an spacer mesh that then folded over them(such a smart way of doing it)why this wasn't done on the front plate bag is very hard to understand. The drag handle is not reinforced my sewing it in lower down dehind the velcro field instead just along the top seam, kind of makes me question if it would really hold up in a life or death situation. On the back plate bag I really do like how simple an low profile it is. One thing that would really help in comfort would by the plate bags closure flap should tuck inside, making this change would allow for the padding/spacer mesh that should fold over the shoulder strap attachments run the whole length from top to bottom. Would also be nice to have double the thickness of the padding since with time an usage it does flatten. Overall with some minor additions that I purchased such as a VAS cummberbund and quick release system from another retailer I have rounded out this carrier to a decent level for preparedness standards.
