Quality and Comfort
First off I couldn't find anything on the website that mentioned what the sizing was. I wasnt sure if I needed a medium or large. I took a chance on the medium and it's perfect. I'm 6'3 210 lbs. The product itself is awesome. Great quality and fit and finish are on par with all the reviews and claims. You cant go wrong with this product! I plan on grabbing a couple more soon.

Slickest-Ster
Well... If you’re looking at the Slickster or anything from Ferro you’ve already got an eye for high quality gear. I mean, For $150 who doesn’t want a quality PC that’s durable, and extremely lightweight. Let’s be real about it. A wet towel weights 3x more than this PC. The elastic cummerbund holds up to 8 magazines, medical shit, radio, log of dip, or maybe you’re feeling a bit lawless and wanna stuff some White claws in there; Whatever you want buddy, The world is yours. The whole thing feels extremely durable, and well designed. Great stitch work (hardly ever mentioned), amazing materials, precise laser cuts for the molle, and just overall aesthetically pleasing. Buying this plate carrier is like ordering your favorite burger and fries and getting an onion ring. You won’t be disappointed.

Nice
Speedy shipping and quality product.

Perfect low pro carrier
Nothing I would change about this carrier as of right now. Love the dual compartments on the inside for soft and hard armor. Stitching is professionally done and should hold up to a good amount of abuse but time will tell.

Awesome
Nice and light weight, built well and easily tailored to your needs with all the add-ons. You can make it as low pro or tactical as you like.

Versatility and comfort
The large pieces of velcro and easily adjustable straps and cummerbund make this carrier comfortable for anyone, and compatible with most if not all accessories. The pockets are perfectly sized, and you can store more than just 5.56 mags in them (personally I keep a first aid kit, tourniquet, and a radio). The wide shoulder straps (about 2in) help disperse the weight evenly so your shoulders do not get sore quickly if you are carrying heavy plates or lots of ammo and other equipment (do not think they are too wide, I have a fairly narrow frame and they do not go past my shoulders).
