Purchased the Hybrid BPV during Black Friday deals and was not disappointed. Took about 6 weeks but I’m sure they were deep with orders from that time. The Level IIIA with Anti-Stab protection is added peace of mind at the range, the market or the border invasion, its super thin to be worn covertly under a hoodie or jacket and you can also wear it overtly if it’s fully loaded and accessorized. I’m ready to get my Level IV plates and some mag carriers soon. Great quality, great designs, durable materials and lightweight AF. This vest has molle compatible laser-cut slots, zippered pouches in the breathable sandwich mesh lining for installation of trauma padding and of course the separate pockets outside of the IIIA protection for their ICW (in conjunction with) 10 x 12 plates, they call UP Armor but I’m sure it would fit their standard Level IV 10 x 12 plates too. I’m looking forward to adding some upgrades soon. Ace Link has one of the best and most innovative features in their entire lineup of plates and carriers, I’m so glad I did my research before pulling the trigger on this life saving device!

I have bought a lot of stuff for my job and I can probably say this . Since I got their live wired vest when I put it I feel extremely comfortable and confident in myself. Like the old saying going “ you look good you feel good!” . I am already recommending this site to my department because Ace link amor is the best out there.

Mostly well thought out
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
Flawless
Delivery was fast. Upon unboxing the helmet, I was amazed at the how awesome the helmet was put together, from the paddings to the rail attachment. Then, I noticed the chin straps look like it was made from inferior materials. Hopefully, that's just some unwarranted concerns. But I'm looking forward to use this for night hunting.
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!
