Looks a little small on the front/back... number of MOLLE slots on the front is enough to slot a single, triple shingle magazine pouch... 3 mags wide. For a normal tactical profile carrier, that may be a little bit on the small side for the cummerbund part. As an aside, that works out to 9 inches wide on the flap; which leaves a lot to be desired on side coverage, should it be found to be too small for a size L human. May be barely enough for Size M human t shirt, maybe right size for a normal girl/woman... again, like I said, it just looks a little small. Likely it only fits S/M plates (8x10-9×12 approx size). I dont know how small/skinny or how large/beefy you are. I would rather get a decent quality, properly fitted carrier first and add the plates to it.
Thank's, I do like their standard size compared to the swimmers cut, just because of coverage
The last two I bought were made by 2nd Chance (before he went under from being sued and came back) and the most recent is Galls store brand showing it shows was done by Point Blank. Both feel the same to me. The main difference in comfort came from using an external carrier instead of wearing it under a shirt. Under the shirt they were both fine when inside where there is AC and outside if it was not hot. In winter it was actually nice as it helps keep you warm. Now when it got hot outside it was miserable but living in the PNW did not have much of that. A couple summers ago I tried an external carrier intending on using it just for the summer. It was so damn nice I stayed with it year round. When you shop this stuff you can compare the Level protection vs how much it weighs per SQ inch. Lighter is of course better. Then there is some that is no longer Kevlar. They made some great strides here but this is also what got Second Chance sued under. One they came up with was super flexible and light, and of course much more expensive. I almost bought one at one time. Later they found the stuff degraded from UV light and a couple LEO's got shot and the vest failed. Here came the lawyers.
Thank you
