Build it accordingly.
I've had this kit for almost a year now, including a deployment. If all you need is a lower-profile carrier for low-vis work or range training, stop reading here- it's fantastic. If your job description is more kinetic, then plan on buying Ferro's additional accessories to augment the basic kit. The first and foremost thing you need is a drag handle. The velcro on the shoulder straps will 100% rip loose if you have to be drug off the x. Otherwise it's great.

First off the product is a great product if your buying you should have done your research on what carrier your going to go with and this is top notch as every one claims. Second off I would highly recommend ordering from SKD I had my carrier with in two days of ordering it.

Awesome Low Pro Carrier
The slickster is awesome! I’m 5’9 athletic build 200lbs and the medium carrier with 10x12 plates fits me great. Thicker plates are tight and take some effort to get in but they do fit well once in place. The carrier is super comfortable and seems very well built. Worked out in it a few times so far with no issues. I highly recommend it. SKD Shipped same day and I had the it within 4 days. Awesome service from SKD

Great product, terrible name
With a name like slickster you imagine one of those dime-a-dozen, bags with plate shaped holes. This ain't that. These can go from super slick, With built in compartments for magazines, medical radios, or a full rig. Quality is superb.
