Not too shabby!
This is a super cool plate carrier. Medium fits me just fine at 6’1 155 lbs. looking forward to finding some decent plates and kit for it. Shipped fast and easy.

Perfect for most roles
This is by far the most comfortable carrier Ive worn. Its extremely light weight, very easy to adjust, and has a ton of options by swapping out cummerbunds, front flaps, and back panels. Only thing Ive found to be a hassle is getting AR500 plates to fit. They absolutely fit but need some adjustment. A way other customers can do this is by adding .5” lightweight foam behind their AR500 plates (inside the pocket) to bring the pocket to the proper SAPI thickness. Or do it right from the start and buy ceramic 10x12 plates. Shoulder straps are very comfortable until you get a full combat load plus other equipment. Easy fix to this, get the shoulder pads. Running 3-5 mags plus radio and Med is fine to use without shoulder pads though, anything more than that and it starts to weigh down. Elastic cummerbund fits and forms great, and allows the user to not feel constricted by their plate carrier.

Great PC
I have been a huge fan of Ferro for a while now. I've ran the slingster on almost all of my rifles. Awesome PC for the price! SKD has some of the best shipping! Ordered this on July 3rd and my package was at my door on the 5th!

Lightweight, minimalist design. Can fit comfortably under clothing for covert ops or over clothing for overt ops. Fits great with steel plates. Fast shipping, good price.

Fantastic products with super-fast shipping!
Purchased a new lightweight plate carrier for my son to use for competition and training. My past experience with SKD was great, but the shipping this time was so fast, it felt like they shipped it before I even placed the order! Another great shopping experience with SKD.

Slickster
I have a first spear set up as a heavy vest from your company. I needed something lighter and chose the slickster, definitely a great pick as I have different panels and chest rigs that will adapt right to this platform. Simple, light weight, and scalable to my needs! I get most of my items from your company which make it convenient!

Great lightweight set up. Easy to adjust to your style of wear. Minimal bulk with the cummerbund system.
