BULLETPROOF VESTS

My brother bought Ace Link III+ plates and a Quadrelease carrier first…and I watched some Youtube videos and then added a pair of ceramic/poly for my own. I have a LBT QRC carrier on the way, and I may add Ace Link side plates and a soft armor as a deformation block up front. I am trying to buy smart as I put this together, but I am happy with the AL purchase thus far. I have tried resizing this photo for a half hour and it is continually giving me an error, so you just get the text.

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!

This carrier works great for heavier plates. The generous shoulder padding and well designed cummerbund make wearing this carrier for extended periods of time a breeze. Also, I love the quick release attachments, they make getting in and out of this carrier so much much easier than other cummerbund type carriers. This carrier gets an A+ and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a solid plate carrier.

I have been using steel rifle plates from another competitor and a better quality plate carrier from a quality competitor. The plate carrier the rifle plate competitor offers is substandard so I always had to mix and match with my previous purchase for myself and my employees at the armed security company I own. After much research and shopping around I chose Ace Link Armor. The plates and side soft armor are very light. The Quadra Release carrier is excellent quality. I have been wearing it 7 nights a week for 2 weeks. The only draw back I have experienced is this: I am a large man. 6'4" and 280 lbs. The carrier I ordered although is a 2XL it is not quite large enough for me and fits a little too tight for my liking. I still have good movement as this vest and carrier are really active shooter ballistic vests, made to put on quickly and take off quickly. Overall I am pleased with my purchase. And would recommend this vest for someone who has a smaller chest and slimmer build. The 2XL sizing is deceiving.

This setup is great and lightweight from all the videos and reviews it seems to hold up well to some serious rounds. The quadrelease carrier is also very comfortable only con is the velcro that holds the plates together could have been larger and better quality. Shoulder pads are very comfy as well.
