ModGear Modular Operator Plate Carrier MultiCam Front Folding Map Pocket

Review 07 Jan 2010 : This item is solid it will fit plates only, no other ballistic protection, there is another vest for the ballistic mesh and plates but as to be expected costs more. This was the best price i found for this vest on the date above, i have found no plates made for it. No plates is not a problem for me its just camouflage for hunting. My only real issue with this item is all the dang Velcro. But most vests now are made this way and it easy to add zippers or work around. Velcro shoulders, side wrap around and Velcro in the front, a Velcro flap covers that (the back is the same, Velcro'd from both sides with a Velcro flap to cover.) The side plate carriers are on the inside, the front and back plate carriers are both accessible. I would not recommend this item for combat but it is a great hunting, paint-ball or display item. So far it has been on 3 trips with me and no issue to date. I recommend this item even with all the Velcro. I hope this review helps at someone to make an informed decision.
