Not bad, wish I'd gotten black
This is a fine plate carrier, I bought it just for the extra workout with plates in. The velcro can irritate after a bit if it's not on correctly, or if you have a thin shirt on. One downside to this vest is the patch space is limited, which sucks because workout related patches can demilitarize it so to speak. Pretty sure someone called the cops on me once for wearing it during a workout in the neighborhood because they were probs like 'whys this guy in a military looking vest hiking around'. Anyways in hindsight I would have gotten a none green vest or another brand with more velcro space. If you are military or LEO this is a great vest tho.

100 % SATISFIED
I have been running with the vest for the last month and a half. Looks great, quality material (easy to secure + velcro is strong) and I find it comfortable...especially important for the shoulders. The vest doesn't move a lot when exercising which I appreciate.
The inside weight plate doesn't move at all when you run!
Definitely a quality product that can add challenge to your workout.

One of my better investments
I love this vest. I bought it specifically because I knew I could get it snug and because I wanted a vest that would allow me to run without extra weight bouncing around. I've used it consistently hiking up mountains in colorado, going on runs, bodyweight squats, push-ups, you name it. It's expensive but I feel it was well worth the investment. If you want a quality vest that's comfortable, durable, and stable, this is the one for you.
For reference, I'm 205 lbs and purcahsed the 30lb. cast iron plates.

Superb quality! Excellent training tool
I've been using the 5.11 TacTec plate carrier (and accompanying set of Rogue plates) for just over a month or so now and I'm really impressed!!
Firstly, as you might expect, the vest itself is amazingly well built. The plate carrier feels really sturdy whilst still managing to be comfortable for longer sessions and I have no doubt that it'll last a lifetime. The shoulder pads and chest/back cushions are perfectly placed to take the impact and reduce the strain while wearing the kit - even with a heavy plate set.
Speaking of which, the Rogue plates are also a perfect fit! They're easy to install and held securely in place by the plate carrier. I've not needed to readjust or tighten the velcro fastenings as yet despite putting some reasonable mileage in. They’re the ideal size to make the most of the space afforded by the plate carrier whilst still being compact, so you don’t feel like you’re carrying your whole gym with you.
I've been using the vest for pretty much all my training since I got it. The vest itself doesn't compromise mobility at all, which seems kind of impossible, but it’s ideal for HIIT workouts. Even though the plate carrier doesn’t make a difference to how freely you move you can really see how effectively it increases the resistance to your workout. You definitely feel yourself working harder and getting more from your training sessions. (which is the goal, right?!)
When running the plate carrier feels perfectly stable - hardly moving at all - and I can't say I've felt any increased strain on my joints. That being said, during HIIT sessions, I notice that the vest moves a little but it's hardly noticeable (to the point I thought about not mentioning it at all in this review) and certainly not enough to be distracting. The adjustable fastenings allow the vest to move with you but not bounce around so much the plate carrier becomes uncomfortable.
In summary, this plate carrier is a fantastic bit of kit. Big/tough enough to feel dependable and sturdy even with heavy plates but slight enough so it doesn’t compromise mobility and you can still work out effectively. This plate carrier definitely goes on my “must buy” list. It’s quickly becoming an essential part of my training arsenal and is without a doubt the most effective bit of training equipment I’ve ever used.
