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.
Lightweight and durable Spitfire Plate Carrier tactical vest. Made of laser-cut laminate, highly durable 500D Cordura and softshell. The vest's design does not restrict movement, and its modularity allows you to customize the plate carrier to your needs.
Thanks to the hypalon grips, adjusting the vest is quick and easy. The grips also provide easy medical access, in case first aid is needed. The vest's design allows for secure cable routing at the plate pockets and cummerbund.
The front flap is attached directly to the vest or via chest rig buckles (a sytstem compatible with Mayflower/Velocity, HSP and other standards), and it is also possible to use the vest in a configuration without a 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 zippers.
The vest is equipped with a zippered pocket with a velcro panel on the front panel and a reinforced escape grip.

Camouflage Woodland
Woodland, also known as U.S. Woodland or M81, is a classic camouflage pattern introduced to the US Armed Forces in the early 1980s, based on the earlier ERDL camouflage. For over two decades, it remained the standard pattern used by the US military until the end of the first decade of the 21st century. It is characterized by large, irregular patches in shades of green, brown, beige, and black, which provide good camouflage and deformation properties, especially in wooded areas. Thanks to its effectiveness and global recognition, it has spawned numerous variations that have found their way into over 60 uniform formations around the world. The pattern has also had a huge impact on popular culture, shifting from military applications to everyday fashion.

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.
