The slickster
Light weight, fast to put on, and excellent build quality. It allows you to scale up for your needs. If your looking to load yourself down with gear, I’d look elsewhere. If you just need plates, tourniquet, an additional mag, this is the carrier for you.

Wow.
I bought my first plate carrier from those guys with long lead times in 2019. I spent hours trying to get it to fit properly and wore out most of the velcro. I was never really happy with it so I settled on Ferro Concepts. I ordered may 21 and recieved it may 25! I was able to get it snug and perfectly adjusted in less than 10 minutes! Great quality, holds steel and hesco plates snug. Very comfortable for a minimalist civi setup.

Just buy it.
This carrier even with steel plates makes it feel like you’re not even wearing armor. I put 4.5lb ceramic plates in and it’s much more comfortable than my normal soft armor police vest. The add ons for the slickster add up quick but the quality, functionality, and comfort is worth it. SKD shipped my order out an hour after I checks out, blown away by such an awesome customer experience even during this “pandemic”.

Slickster
Excellent carrier. Medium was great for my thinner frame but is very flexible and comfortable. It would fit other frames easily. First carrier I've worn that sits just below your collar bone. Excellent design. Very comparable to lv119 by spiritus. Great overall.
