BULLETPROOF VESTS

I am a US Marine machine gunner in 29 Palms. This is my first review for anything honestly but that just tells you how much credit I want to give AceLink! I got my XL Quadrelease plate carrier and it was slightly too big so I emailed customer support and the next day had all the info to exchange the product for the Large. Very fast! I then called customer support to see the status and ended up talking to a person right away not a robot. He was very helpful and truly listened to my suggestions and is the reason I’m writing this review. Prior to sending the vest back to exchange it, I wanted to test it slightly. I put a full combat load on it (steel core body armor, 3 dual magazine pouches, 6 fully loaded 5.56 mags, an admin pouch, a green star cluster, an ifak, mag dump pouch, hydration pouch w/ 3 liters of water in a camelback, and a radio) and when I tell you this thing is comfortable, it’s an understatement! I did a little jog around my property and damn it was just hugging my body like a clingy girlfriend. The material is very light but extremely sturdy, stitching was beautiful (no frays in the stitching) and the release latches had a nice audible *click* to them that let you know it’s secure. Can’t wait to use and abuse this product. Suggestions for product to AceLink: -Make the Quick Release clips replaceable, instead of sewing the loop that locks the clips in, have a Velcro strap that through the release hole and up onto the shoulder strap under the shoulder pads. To insure it doesn’t lift back up (then offer a repair kit to do a quick fix in the field). Everything wears down eventually! -Continue making a great product!

The weight, quality and price are fantastic for the protection. I got this plate for my spouse and they are extremely happy with the fit and weight. I put this plate as a front plate and a single curve for the back plate in an LBT inc low profile carrier.

The item was shipped in a timely manner. A lot of bulletproof plates are steel and advertise as a soft armor… These are as close. If not the same product we used Overseas. It’s a nice bullet absorbing material that should produce zero Spaulding. Overall, I’m very happy with my purchase and with the price there’s really just no question about it. Best bang for your buck right here… I can’t afford to buy armor plates just to test them out but if they don’t work well you won’t be hearing from me again lol 🤷‍♂️

The patrol laser cut outer carrier is a very nice carrier with 4 zip pockets and a ton of molle area for your gear along with Velcro areas for your ID patches. Only thing I had to do was alter one side to get my front panel to fit properly, but other then that it’s a very comfortable outer carrier and gave me a ton of space to move my gear off my hips and up on to my outer carrier. Will be buying another one and possibly a different one to hold my rifle plates.

I bought this vest to wear on duty. The armor is lighter and thinner than what my department issued me, and it has a higher rating. The vest is comfortable and well thought out. Only 2 fixes i would do: move the microphone loop more forward on the shoulder, or add a loop high on the chest on each side and on the armor on the front, add a patch of velcro at the bottom like there is at the top to keep the armor in place better. Definately not a deal breaker and a fantastic piece of equipment, especially for the cost.
