BULLETPROOF VESTS

I purchased the Quadrelease Ultra bundle with the NIJ level III+ armor plates, and the NIJ level III side panels. The plate carrier is top notch. It is well built, easily adjusted, well vented, and has padding strategically placed making it comfortable for all day wear. The buckles snap together easily, and feel secure. The armor plates are truly light weight (much lighter than AR500 / AR550 steel), and well molded to the contours of the chest and back so that sitting or riding in a vehicle is very comfortable. The side panels are flexible, and provide a snug fit to the plate carrier. Overall, this armor is very comfortable, rugged, and extremely well designed. I am extremely happy with my purchase.

These guys are the best, placed an order and the order was processed and shipped exactly at the time specified. No hassle no delays! And the gear is great, Quadrelease Plate carrier is in my opinion one of the best carriers out there!

Excellent construction and true sizing (with adjustable straps to allow for out-of-regs hair). Perfect for my requirements—with cutouts for ear protection, NVG mount, and plenty of rail space for other attachments.

I have been looking for something like this my whole life….practically. Hot days I can wear it with only a front plate and be cool, and nobody knows. Anytime I don't need a whole vest it's great. A must have tool in the toolbox.

All in all it's a great carrier. The quadrelease seems pretty sturdy, doesn't open without pulling the tab so it won't randomly fall off. There's 2 cumberbunds, one is just straight elastic but it only connects to the vest in the back (it's difficult to describe without showing you) which to me seems kinda pointless so I just folded them and tucked them away- then you have the regular cumberbund that attaches the front and back of the vest together. What's nice about them is that they have shock cord between them, so it stays tight on your body, but has room to flex when you sit or breathe deep or whatever, that's a very nice addition. Pocket for the plates are a little taller than they need to be, which isn't a plus or a minus it's just something I noticed. The tubes are super easy to use, getting this on and off is a dream. My only really grip is there's no place to put the regular hard side plates. There's a pocket in the cumberbund that fits their 3a soft panels, but nothing to hold a hard plate in place so you have to buy a pouch to put on the outside of the MOLLE, that's the only major downside to this. Otherwise it's a great piece of gear
