Matrix Level-1 Plate Carrier with Integrated Magazine Pouches (Color: Black)

"Been using this plate carrier for a month now and I have to say that I am very impressed with it. At first I thought 80$ for a small plate carrier was a bit steep, however I can assure you that the cost is well worth it because of all the features you get along with it.

Pros:
- Close to the body and allows for movement
- 3 Integrated Mag Pouches (I've used flashmags/plastic midcaps/metal hi caps, All M4 mags)
- Integrated Admin Pouch that can hold cell phones, wallets, dead rags, extra batteries/BBs
- Lots of molle space for the size

Cons:
- When I mounted 3 pistol mag pouches with the mags in them it would kind of drag the part of the integrated mag pouch that is facing outside down, just a warning

"this is a fantastic vest. i have not yet field tested it yet but i will soon. i will also make a youtube video of it soon as well. what most people dont realize from the picture is that behind the velcro is an admin pouch that has retention straps for 3 pistol mags 9 or speed loaders.this is a little small on me but it works great with my battle belt.

pros-
light weight
built in mag pouches
comfortable

cons-
not legit multicam, but similar
difficult to adjust the sides
didnt come with foam SAPI plates

all in all gret vest, well worth the $80.00

"even for large people, this does exactly what its made for. the vest is actually called a "jump capable" vest. due to its small size, it made to carry the essentials and to be worn under any jump equipment (sky diving equipment). but overpriced for an airsoft version in my opinion. still very good. very capable. very very useful.

"Just got it in yesterday and it is awesome. You can adjust the shoulders to have it sit at any height you want, it adjusts its width every time you put it on, and it even can stretch when you breath! The Molle is fantastic. All straps are reinforced and very solid. The 360 degrees of Molle allow for endless combinations and lots of landscape to work with on the vest. With additional mag pouches, mock armor plates (are cheap styrofoam, can be easily removed if you are a larger built individual to allow a better fit, but it makes the vest fit just right, being I'm 5'6" and 140 pounds), and all mags in, it's only, at most, 4 inches off your chest. This allows for easy drops to avoid fire. Drop leg holsters also work perfectly with it. Best vest I have ever had. Last vest I ever will most likely.

Pros:
Mag pouches,
Admin pouch (integrated shotgun round holders)
Tons of Velcro
360 degrees of Molle
Awesome fit, no matter your build
Comfortable
Ease of access to mags
Extremely compact, but tons of Molle space at the same time

Cons:
A little hard to open the built in mag pouches because the Velcro is solid, but once you get one mag in there, it's no problem.

"This vest is really nice and for the price its worth it. Although, this vest isnt really tan its more of a coyote brown color which is what i was looking for. Im 5'4" about and this vest adjust to me perfectly with enough space to have a belt rig.

Pros:
Higher quality compared to my oe tech PC
Very adjustable
Coyote brownish( could be a con)
3 Built in m4 pouches
Very lightweight and compact
Hydration tube restraints on shoulder
Comes with foam plates
Cons:
Coyote brown (pro for me)
Hydration tube restraints kind of get in the way when not using them
Kind of expensive( worth it)

"This plate carrier is well… accurate for the price. It’s not too bad since if you run m4s your in luck since it has an intergraded mag pouch system which you can take the stringy things off to make an admin pouch and then put mag pouches on the front. Which I like a lot. My only cons is that that it’s made of cheap material (which is expected) and that the shoulder straps are HUGE. Maybe it’s just me. But otherwise it’s still pretty good. I still think investing in a more reliable, high end, expensive carrier is worth it but you do you. This does have a ton of colors which is cool. But who is buying the patriot. Sorry, off topic. Not too bad. Pretty good bang for your buck

"I think for the price this is a great chest plate. The quality of the fabric and stitching is great for the price. The magazine pouches can be a bit cumbersome but you get used to it and you need to break that in. It is really easy to put on and off. I had to really adjust mine tight which was hard but it works great now.
The Ranger green color is a bit darker than the picture probably because they boosted the white level in the photo shoot which is standard practice.

I am giving it four starts because it isn’t amazing like a Emersongear or something buts it is a great budget plate carrier

pretty great plate carrier for the price. It includes two foam plates which helps keep the structure but can get kinda hot in the sun. lots of molle webbing for pouches and such.

3 rows of molle with hook and loop for patches across the chest. icludes a hook and loop pocket on the top with two elastic separators.

mag pouches are closed by velcro which makes it a bit difficult to reindex but i use a smg mag pouch on it anyway.

uses 6 buckles 3 on each side so a bit annoying to don and doff. i find its easiest to leave one side fully buckled and just use the other side to clip in and out over your shoulder like.

overall its worth the price but maybe wont hold up to years of abuse.

"Great plate carrier for beginners although there are better options if your trying to go for something long term, it will fit three AUG mags it will just look a little weird.

"This would be a 10/10 rig if there wasn't one problem: The shoulder straps

I'm a 5'10" asian of a light build. Overall, I think my build would be average. I'm not fit, but not thin.

The straps are too long, and they're extremely difficult to adjust. Instead of the shoulder straps covers being velcro, they're stitched on and are NOT REMOVEABLE. This makes adjusting the shoulder straps extremely difficult. Additionally, "tightening" the straps pushes the straps closer together, and toward the shoulder straps covers. This makes the cover harder to put back on.

Overall, 7/10

Needs velcro shoulder strap cover, but everything else feels good.

"the shoulder straps are not the most comfortable and I am unable to fit 3 m4 mags in the front, only 2. Otherwise its a great starter vest and does its job. I suggest buying extra mag pouches and putting them on.

"I've used this vest for the paste two years and used it a fair amount.
I highly recommend this for beginner AR users, however the integrated pouches are not AK friendly.
I still use this vest ever so often when I run my GBBR, but I mostly stick to a chest rig now due to my state's hot summers and a recent swap to AK style airsoft rifles.

Pros:
Took a beating

Lasted over two years

Good price for a starter vest

Fits a 5'10 slim build (150Ibs)

Came with foam plates

Cons:
Does not accept 5.45 style AK magazines (And I can assume 7.62 style magazines are the same)

The Velcro to hold the integrated pouches has worn down and no longer works. (Makes it almost impossible to close off the AR pouches and just adding AK pouches)

Part of the sewing on the pilot pouch's Velcro has separated from the vest, making it harder to open and close.

I now wish I had a cummerbund with molle.

The foam plates get you hot quickly in the summer. (I am sure it will be fine for areas with colder summers)

Straps when adjusted to my body build would freely flap around the back of the plate carrier due to there being too much slack.

"Solid plate carrier, good for beginners and anyone else really. It's made out of tough materials, is very adjustable (can't compare how easily adjustable it is to other plate carriers, but it seems pretty standard and isn't too complicated), has three integrated M4 magazine pouches, velcro on the front, breathable soft padding on the inside, and comes with dummy foam plates.

The only complaint I have is that fitting three magazines in the pouches is very tight. Taking them out is easy, but if you want to do a tactical reload you're going to have some difficulty putting your used mag into the pouch you got your fresh one from. This is the only plate carrier I've used (only used tactical vests before) so I can't compare this to others, but I imagine at least some other plate carriers don't have this problem. Of course, this problem can easily be solved by wearing a chest rig or having some other form of magazine storage on you.

All in all, this is a solid plate carrier and one of the cheaper ones I've found on the market that includes dummy plates. Whether you're a new player looking for a good plate carrier to start your loadout and don't want to break the bank; if you're going to a game and need a new plate carrier with the right camo; or if you just want to experiment with different colored/camo plate carriers without spending too much, then you can't go wrong with getting one of these.

Pros:
- Tough material
- Integrated M4 magazine pouches (3 in total)
- Comes with dummy plates
- Solid price

Cons:
- Actually fitting 3 M4 magazines is a tight fit

"The plate carrier is just a plate carrier. really gud but one thing to note for you guys thinking about getting the grey one that's not how it looks at all. it just comes super grey. in a way I should have expected that but honestly I just thought it came like the color advertised on the photo and couldn't come up with a name for it. Still yeah one last warning. Its just grey that's all...

"Overall this is a good plate carrier. I am 5'8 and 190 pounds and this fits pretty well, the traps are bulky and are annoying to adjust but it is a very comfy and good quality plate carrier overall. I would NOT recommend this for smaller people and especially skinny people. In the end, I am happy with this plate carrier
