This is the best vest in the wz. 93 pattern I've managed to find. It's very lightweight, which I especially appreciate in the summer as it doesn't get as hot. The only thing I would change is the colour of the fastenings – they could be a darker shade of green.

A robust tactical vest type Plate Carrier, created from damage and abrasion-resistant nylon. It is designed to accommodate ballistic plates or their dummies. The vest utilises the modular system MOLLE/PALS, which allows the installation of additional equipment.
The front flaps are secured using buckles hidden under the outer material, and on the back part, there is an evacuation handle. The front and rear panels are covered with soft velcro that allows the attachment of patches and emblems. The dimensions of the velcro are tailored to the markings used by most uniformed services. An inner pocket on the front enables the storage of small items.
An elastic panel mounted on the inner side of the vest allows for adjustments to ballistic plates of various shapes and thicknesses. The Guardian Plate Carrier is compatible with different types of plates - E-Cut (SAPI/ESAPI), Swimmer Cut, and Shooter Cut.

Camouflage PL Woodland
The wz.93 Pantera PL Woodland camouflage pattern is currently used by the Polish Armed Forces. It was the first camouflage pattern designed and introduced into widespread use in the Third Polish Repubic. The 1993 pattern combines mimetic and deforming properties through the use of irregular spots of various sizes. The color scheme, based on green, brown, and black, has been adapted to the conditions of Polish forests, making ""Pantera"" a good choice for operations in the native terrain. Uniforms in this camouflage pattern are also part of the basic equipment for students of Military Uniform Classes.

The plate carrier from Helikon is a great vest. I use it together with the Helikon Guardian Cummerbund Quick Release side panels and the Guardian Flap pouch, which together make a solid set. I definitely recommend it.
