Ferro Concepts Slickster PC
Got the large. Fits as expected. Used to spiritus systems setups, so Ferro sending you the plate carrier, and including the cummerbund, is nice. Nothing new here obviously, but it gets sweaty fairly quick when wearing it. Spring, summer, fall? Hell probably even winter. Wear almost any plate carrier while attempting to do any remotely moderate activity (like just existing), and you will perspire. I know this is what most of you care about. The price. It is pretty damn good imo, considering the quality of materials. Granted this is a no-frills, minimalist pc with plenty of options on the market to make it…not be that. It holds plates. I can put things on it. Some things that are useful. Most of them are not. Would buy again.

RG Ferro Slickster carrier
This is a prelim/first impressions review as I haven't had a chance to run around with it yet. So far it seems like a GREAT piece of kit. Really well constructed, the velcro panel stitching is great, as are the pockets for the shoulder straps. Adjustment via Velcro is really quite easy with the little included kydex guide and it seems pretty comfortable stock, more so when I used a couple of old Tactical Tailor shoulder pads I had laying around. The elastic on the cummerbund is really strong (I think I need to get some more muscle build up in my pecs and lats haha), so it keeps the gear pulled in TIGHT... which I like. The plate pockets are terrific, I'm running the new RMA 1165 plates with the Ferro three slot Velcro mag panel and it seems to be a terrific combination. Right now I'm using the right size front pouch on the cummerbund for a TQ in a pouch, hugs up against the right side of the carrier and mags very well. In all, very happy with this so far, will know more once I shoot a weekend in the mud with it coming up ASAP.

Nice and simple, that works.
Nice and sleek with options to build up. Didn’t want a full combat tactical carrier. Everything seems quality built.

Ferro Slickster
I purchased this carrier because a good friend of mine had. I was so impressed I knew I had to have one. It's a great fit and is super lo pro. Goes under all my jackets with no issue. Performance wise, haven't had much time training with if but, just from dry firing at home, it will not interfere with movement whatsoever. Definitely recommend it.

Lightweight, well fitting, scalable. I like how it can go from under a jacket, to full battle rattle in just a few moments.

It fits...."That's what She said"
Finally a Low Vis plate carrier that will fit the common .90 to 1 inch thick UHMWPE plates. A lot of companies have sizing charts that address the fit to the outside diameter of plates (10x12, 10x14, SAPI, ESAPI, swimmer cut) but have no info on thickness capability so ordering is always a gamble. Calling or emailing either gets no response, an uneducated response, or an ambiguous/condescending response of "refer to our size chart. SKD was helpful in this regard. P.S. I see a lot of reviews on here stating "It isn't capable of carrying a large load out" or complaining about the fact it can't. It's called "The slickster" meaning "Low Vis". educate yourself and know what your intended use will be before you leave a "SILLY" review. "Just stop your crying, it's the sign of the times. Welcome to the final show, hope you're wearing your best clothes" DE OPPRESSO LIBER 18B.

Slickster Plate Carrier
This product is a pretty dope minimalist plate carrier. Good for working out, training and larping around the house in my $189 digital camo tech briefs until SHTF and you really gotta use it for its intended purpose. Only downside is the cummerbund or maybe not. For most of cheeseburger eating America you wrap that cumberbund around your side abs it’s gonna make you have that beautiful hourglass shape you always wanted with your internet girlfriend or you gonna be looking like a Pillsbury doughboy with your muffins exploding at the seams. Other than that it’s beautiful purpose made carrier.
