Great quality but...
So I received it about a week ago and I love the tactec vest! Extreme high quality and great durability and overall comfortability. The only issue I have is one of the USA cast iron plates has a small air bubble on the top left of the handle which knowing how coatings and all that go and ordering the more expensive plates I expected them to be more thorough with inspections before shipping out. If this air bubble gets dented or compromised it will definitely result in corrosion of the plate which really does concern me especially that these plates are probably going to get wet due to sweat. Other than that great quality overall.
Yes, I recommend this product

Broke after single use
I originally bought this to help with ruck march training.
Using two ten pound plates in it and tucking for 11 minutes, the cable that holds the vest together broke.

Thank you for posting! We are sending you an instructional video on how to properly install your adjustment cable. These ends simply need stowed in the hidden channel in the Velcro.
Plate Carrier Vest
The vest holds plates well, and there’s minimal plate movement within the vest during the workouts. I have a problem with the waist straps. The laces used to hold the straps in place are not very tight at all, and the straps gradually loosen in every rep. I bought wire cable key chains for a much better hold. I wish there were more holes on the straps to loop through for a tighter fit.

Really snug fit!
The only reason I didn’t give this product a 5th star is because it comes with no instructions. This is my first weight vest, is it adjustable around your body on the sides?
Yes, I recommend this product
