"I’ve only played one game with it, and so far so good. My first Plate carrier was 15 or 20 bucks from Amazon, it was cheap and had to sew in more Velcro because it was to big for me (for scale I’m about 4’8 73lbs 13yo, slender build).
But this one is different from the cheap Amazon one, even though this is only $30 it is pretty good. I added a Molle plackard for about $10, because without it it’s basically useless. Then added 3 mag poutches for 15 bucks and some pistol mag pouches for $10, also a radio pouch for 5 bucks at a surplus store. So In total the whole setup costed about $70.
Pros
Quality material
Comfy straps
Easily sizeable and stretchy cummerbund/torso strap
Good customization
Maneuverable
Comes with foam plates pre installed (do not buy other ones because they will be to big)
Cons
Shoulder Straps are too long once adjusted (that’s probably just me though, I mad it the tightest possible because my torso is not big) however was able to just stick the extra materiel with the Velcro to the patch area
Can start to get weighed down if you have a lot of mags or just heavy ones, like steel pistol mags.
(Currently no other cons)
Over all great PC would recommend, great if your a kid.

"Pros:
-Comes preinstalled with foam plates. (Don't waste that extra 20$ like I did.)
-Strong stitching, zipper, Velcro, & clips.
-Comfy shoulder pads, they easily accommodated my water bladder line in the black loops under the green strip.
-Perfect dimensions for my placard from PhantomGear.
-Doesn't bob under a sprint/ no movement hinderance.
Cons:
-Rear plate doesn't completely fill the back slot.
-There are random useless straps at the base of the interior on both sides, pretty uncomfortable, I cut them off.
-Ranger green was a little darker than pics, borderline OD green.
Overall very very worth it, assuming you are going to correctly outfit it. Obviously without a placard its pretty useless.

"Size reference of 5'7"150lbs
This PC in the slick form is 100% worth the price for anyone who is a beginner and wants something not expensive but still structurally formed and comes with foam plates.
Chest rigs are a dime a dozen and can get them anywhere with the needed clips for the front and straps to go around. Check Evike for some.
Pros :
-versatility
-agility
-breathability
-overall look and color
Cons :
- I may be too biased to have any cons on it. It just exactly what I was looking for.
Good for indoor and outdoor games.

"Pretty good base for $30, I bought some mag pouches and a dangler for it for a total of like $90, you could also get a better cummerband for another $60. Holds up pretty well, it comes with plates but you can use it without them because it is lined with foam or fabric on the inside. Only real problem with it is it sticks out on IR light, but for $30 its solid.
