Nice piece of kit
I originally was running a shell back PC but did not care for how bulky the shoulder straps were. It got in the way of properly shouldering a rifle. After much research I went with the slickster. Its extremely lightweight and very comfortable even without shoulder pads. My only real negative is if your running lvl 4 plates it's a bit snug, but they do fit in the plate bags.

Ferro Concepts Slickster
I ordered the Ferro Concepts Slickster and am nothing but impressed. I have not had it long, nor taken out on the range yet, however the build quality and construction feels and looks awesome. It is very easy to use and get on and off. It is a very minimalist design, but has multiple options in order to fit it to your need and duty requirements. I would definitely recommend it.

Excellent selection, extremely fast delivery
I ordered a Ferro Concepts Slickster and Spiritus Systems Micro Fight Chassis MkIV. Both orders arrived within 3 days of purchasing all well packaged and in good shape.

Not the most comfortable plate carrier
I wouldn't use these if your plates are heavier than 4 lbs or so. Reason being the shoulder straps are not very comfortable, instead of coming up at an angle, they are vertical to the plates, which mean they are very close to your neck and do not fit the outline of your shoulders. The plates I use in these are 3.5 lbs each and that is probably as heavy as I would go with these.

Looks good but there are better low profile plate carriers available.

Great feel and fit
Plate carrier fits a described. The plates are a little loose but a soft armor backer fixed thet well. Very comfortable, though i have not had alot of time in it yet.

Ferro slickster
Honestly I still sent it even though they were coming out with a new model, it was either the spiritus slick or this. the plate bags just look more attractive on the ferro Imo. Overall a great carrier and deff worth the pocket change
