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 freedom to position the butt pad. This is an exceptional product and impossible to imitate.
The lightweight and durable Spitfire Plate Carrier tactical vest. Made of laser-cut laminate, highly durable 500D Cordura and softshell. The design of the vest does not restrict movement and its modularity allows the plate carrier to be adapted to the user's needs.
Thanks to the use of hypalon grips, adjusting the vest is quick and easy. The grips also provide easy medical access, in case first aid is needed. The design of the vest allows for secure cable routing at the plate pockets and cummerbund.
The front flap can be attached directly to the vest or with chest rig buckles (system compatible with Mayflower/Velocity, HSP and other standards), and it is also possible to use the vest in a configuration without the flap. The interchangeable cummerbund is equipped with a compartment for side plates. The back panel is compatible with the Crye Precision AVS system thanks to the zippers.
The vest is equipped with a zipped pocket with velcro panel on the front panel and a reinforced emergency grip.

Camouflage PenCott GreenZone
PenCott is an advanced second‑generation system of modern digital camouflage patterns, developed by the British company Hyde Definition. Its distinctive feature is a multi‑level pattern structure that includes micro‑, meso‑, and macro‑elements.
PenCott GreenZone is a camouflage variant designed for operations in lush, green vegetation typical of deciduous forests, meadows, and shrublands in temperate regions—especially those found in Central and Western Europe. It is one of the most well‑known and recognizable PenCott patterns, created to provide maximum concealment in green‑dominated environments. The pattern combines a fine micro‑pattern and realistic color noise with pronounced contrasts that effectively disrupt the silhouette. The dominant colors are vibrant greens, olives, and browns, enabling effective camouflage both up close and at longer ranges, particularly during the spring and summer seasons.

This was one of the last items I needed to complete my kit. The vest is very comfortable and sturdy. The only downside is the lack of a quick-release cord, but other than that it performs excellently – I rate it 10/10.
-
The vest is solid, perfectly fitted, and offers great customization options – definitely worth its price.
-
It's a bit small, it doesn't cover the belly button or kidneys, but I think that's how it's supposed to be. Besides, it's easy to put on and take off, and it's also very light.
-
Direct action and solid build quality, as well as well-thought-out solutions. Minimalist approach where necessary. I use it myself and highly recommend it.

There is no need to advertise the quality of Direct Action equipment – it is one of the best brands in this price category. The vest is comfortable, and the material on the inside does a much better job of wicking away heat than typical foam with mesh. The adjustment system is quick and easy, and the ballistic plates hold in place very well. I highly recommend it.
-
Great system, solidly made, a top-shelf vest, first-class quality. I definitely recommend it. You have to spend a bit more, but it's really worth it.

An excellent system. Very durable and well-made, the quality is top-notch. I highly recommend it, if you can afford it. No one will regret the purchase.
