Very good vest, extremely comfortable to use. The price is higher, but the product is definitely worth every penny. The flat and wide straps are a brilliant solution that gives you the freedom to position the buttstock pad. It's a unique product that can't be imitated.
Direct Action Spitfire Plate Carrier Tactical Vest - Adaptive Green
Light and durable Spitfire Plate Carrier tactical vest in Adaptive Green. Constructed from laser-cut laminate, highly durable 500D Cordura and softshell. The vest's design does not restrict movement, and its modular structure allows flexible adjustment to user requirements.
durable 500D Cordura
The Spitfire Plate Carrier model is produced from laser-cut laminate and durable, abrasion-resistant 500D Cordura, as well as softshell. The design does not restrict movement, allowing easy customisation to individual user needs.
solid construction, hypalon handles
Thanks to the use of durable and flexible hypalon handles, the vest's adjustment is quick and effortless. The handles also provide easy medical access in emergency situations and are resistant to abrasion, tears, and extreme temperatures. The vest's design facilitates safe cable routing near the plate pockets and the Cummerbund. The front flap is attached directly to the vest or via Chest Rig buckles (compatible with Mayflower/Velocity, HSP, and other systems), allowing the vest to be used without the flap. The interchangeable Cummerbund features a compartment for side plates. The rear panel offers compatibility with the Crye Precision AVS system thanks to zippers. Additionally, the vest is equipped with a reinforced evacuation handle.
laser-cut system, velcro panel
The surface of the vest is covered with holes made using Laser-Cut technology, compatible with the MOLLE system. This allows for various configurations of gear elements such as pouches or pockets. At chest height, there is a zipper-closed pocket with a Velcro panel (hook and loop), used for attaching selected patches or emblems.

The velcro panel is an area with sewn-on Velcro tape that allows easy attachment of various additional items, such as patches or pockets.
Cordura is a material woven from durable nylon fibers, developed by DuPont. The structure of the material provides lightness and abrasion resistance, as well as weather resistance. Due to its properties, Cordura is widely used in tactical equipment.
MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) is a system for attachment of tactical equipment, used for example in backpacks or tactical vests. It provides the possibility of flexible and modular placement of various accessories and pockets, which allows personalization and optimal adjustment of the item to the specific needs of the user. It is widely used by the military, special services and survival and outdoor enthusiasts.
LCS (Laser Cut System) is a new version of the assembly used in the MOLLE system, where instead of traditional tapes, laser-cut holes are used directly in the material. The system is much lighter than standard sewn-on PALS tapes and guarantees better camouflage. The holes are hemmed with thread to prevent fuzzing and ripping, or, as in the case of Cordura, the laser-cut edges are fused.

This was one of the last items I needed to complete my set. The vest is very comfortable and sturdy. The only drawback is the lack of a quick-release cord, but apart from that it works excellently – I rate it 10/10.
-
The vest is sturdy, fits great, and offers plenty of customisation options – definitely worth its price.
-
It's a bit small, it doesn't cover the belly button or kidneys, but I suppose that's how it's meant to be. Apart from that, it's easy to put on and take off, and it's very lightweight.
-
Direct Action is solidly built with well-thought-out solutions. Minimalist approach where necessary. I use it myself and highly recommend it.
-
There’s no need to advertise the quality of Direct Action equipment – it’s one of the best brands in this price range. The vest is comfortable, and the material on the inside deals with heat much better than typical mesh or foam. The adjustment system is quick and easy, and the ballistic plates stay firmly in place. I highly recommend it.
-
Great system, solid workmanship, a top-tier vest, first-class quality. I definitely recommend it. You have to spend a bit more, but it's really worth it.
