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.
Direct Action Spitfire Plate Carrier Tactical Vest - Shadow Gray
Light and robust Spitfire Plate Carrier tactical vest in Shadow Grey. Made from laser-cut laminate, durable 500D Cordura, and softshell. Its construction ensures freedom of movement, while its modular nature allows customization to the individual needs of the user.
durable 500D Cordura
The Spitfire Plate Carrier model is made from laser-cut laminate, abrasion-resistant 500D Cordura, and softshell. The design ensures complete freedom of movement, and modularity allows adaptation to specific requirements.
solid construction, hypalon handles
Thanks to durable and flexible hypalon handles, the vest adjustment is smooth and hassle-free. The handles also allow quick medical access if first aid is needed and are resistant to abrasion, tearing, and extreme temperatures. The vest design ensures secure cable routing at the plate pockets and Cummerbund. The front flap can be attached directly to the vest or using Chest Rig type buckles (compatible with Mayflower/Velocity, HSP, and other systems), and also allows usage without a flap configuration. The replaceable Cummerbund has a compartment for side plates. The rear panel is compatible 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 vest surface has openings made using Laser-Cut technique, compatible with MOLLE equipment. This allows for the arrangement of elements such as pouches, containers, or pockets. In the chest area, there is a zipper pocket and a Velcro panel, which allows for the mounting of 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 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.
