I’ve had this plate carrier for more than a year now and I love it. I agree that the little flap is a pain in the neck to tuck in especially if you have the play carrier fitted correctly for your body. But aside from that I love it. I take it out almost every time I go shooting and I’ve taken it to a few classes and it’s held up just fine. If you’re looking for a first time plate carrier I think this should be a o contender.
Great plate carrier and plates. I think flexible rifle armor is the next thing as it gives your torso a lot more coverage. Plates leave the lower abdomen and lower back wide open.
Great review. I am a little concerned about the placement of the shoulder strap. Hooking the stock into the carrier just doesn't seem comfortable, but I've never tried it
They look feature-rich, but I hope it's better built than their Atlas pants. Which, like this plate carrier, were feature-rich. They even fit great. But didn't even last six months of wear one day a week for light duty for my security uniform. I would be interested in seeing how long it lasts.
Is the AXL front plate adapter the one for $65 or is it the one for $29? I'm a bit confused about what I need to get that setup, but it looks really good--and the AXIS plate carriers are on sale for like $49 + 15% today.
@@ThinLineDefenseCo exactly! I'm glad you showed that adapter as I'm looking at getting the Haley Strategic Micro, so it's good to know I could use it with the Atlas...or I might just treat myself to the Spiritus LV-119.
Hey man, have you ever thought about doing a review on Angel Armors RTC? I just received mine, probably the most comfortable vest I've ever tried one, and not much heavier than my K19 even with the soft armor.
@@ThinLineDefenseCo so, I reached out via their site. Got the quote from a rep, and then their sales rep in my area came to my house and fitted me for my vest. I can probably get you a contact with a sales rep.
The Ryker grip? It's actually an awesome tool for veterans and individuals with shoulder injuries to get back into the sport. It's also a great trainer for proper form. So while you may not know what it is, it's actually really awesome. -Walsh
@@ThinLineDefenseCo oh damn, I didn’t realize I mixed them up. Good to know, though. Thanks for the reply. Also, great video content. Keep up the great work.
Could you review any of the listed HRT Tactical RAC or HRAC AR500 Armor Valkyrie or Veritas Crye Precision JPC Also review the accessories the individual companies put out for these. (Placards, Back Panels, etc.)
Working on the crye ..they're just slow. I'll try to get a HRT and AR500. I had a veritas before we started the channel and it was alright. And copy on the placards and rear Packs! I'll see what I can do
dang, did you get this fixed? Let me know, we can get you squared away and reach out to some of our contacts. That should not be the case. I've trashed mine and it's just taken a beating. -Walsh
@@ThinLineDefenseCo after rewatching the video I now see that was a dumb question. I was cooking while watching so missed that part. But for a more legitimate question, could you change the cummerbund for a quick release one? If so which one would you recommend.
@@twosevenactual hmm you could, yes. And I'd say to use the defense mechanisms hybrid... Because we also have a discount code (TLDco) But in reality... I'd just get the DM mepc if you're going through all that trouble. -Walsh
@@poopz lol just messing with you. The size thing has really gone away on a lot of these carriers. The lv119 and grey ghost SMC also only come in one size. I think the same for my daeodon and HRT RAC. The crye spc did have an option for size so I won't ding that one on that test.
@@ThinLineDefenseCo i was looking at the condor exo gen 2 which has different sizes but if the atlas has 1 size fits all then what is there to decide about
