"This plate carrier is great it can fit small and large players and looks great! You don't have to have a lot of things on this plate carrier for it to look good on you. DO NOT buy sappe plates it already comes with 2, do not listen to those who tell you otherwise.

"So i have owned this for a little while and to start off, out of the box it is VERY tight, and it took me a few minutes to figure out how to adjust the skeleton cummerbund, but it was quite easy to do, and now it fits perfectly. The integrated triple m4 mag pouch is nice, and actually fits my mp9 mags in it, so i do not have to use another pouch and have the weight of the mags weigh the pouch outwards. It is great quality, some bad stitching in a few places but it is easily overlooked.
PROS:
-Tight fitting
- Easily adjustable
-Integrated mag pouch
-Lightweight
-Compact
-Includes replica sapi plates
CONS:
-No instructions on how to adjust
-Some cheap stitching
-Nothing else, great replica

"Very high speed low drag, comes with sapi plates already included.
Integrated mag pouches and admin pouch, nice coyote brown color.
You can hrdly notice youre wearing it.
A couple of cons however is that it comes in way too tight, youll have to figure out how to adjust the bunjee cords. No manual included to show you. Luckily its easy to figure out.
Stitching in some areas is very cheap. Could rip the velcro off if youre too rough.
Shoulder straps are made of a cheap foam. Much like a nerf dart. Could rip with heavy usage.

"Best vest I have ever owned. No cons, everything about it it awesome.
by Martin M. on 07/02/2014
"I got this as a present, ordered it and it turned out to be preordered, then i got it while on vacation. The vest comes in a drawstring bag and with a plastic sapi plates. It fits me, I'm 14 and smaller for my age, it fits tight and the plates make it sturdy. The mag pouch fits my magazines but is inconvienent when I want to place them back in the pouch because the velcro shuts it. The Admin pouch is just awful, can't open it and I am afraid the velcro will tear. Overall A good beginner to milsim operator plate carrier.

"This is an awesome Plate Carrier. It is perfect for speed-softing but it also works just in normal situations. It is a great price and comes with two sapi plates. I would recommend getting a large if you are not a small or slim player like me or just taker out the plates (what i did). Lets get into pros and cons.
Pros:
Cheap
Cool looking
Size
Usefulness
Space
Plates
High quality
Built-in pouches
Cons
Not OD
Stiff
Pouches are hard to get to
Thats It!!!
Overall this is a good Vest. If you can, I would recommend buying it.

"Starting simply:
PROS
-Lightweight: This vest is very low weight, even with pouches, plates, my multitool, and knife on it.
-Comfortable: I'm 6'2 and 193 lbs. It's a little short, ending right above my belly button, but my arms have perfect mobility and the length is not a problem.
-MOLLE: Plenty of molle real estate on the front and back, but keep in mind it's a smaller vest. I have two SVD mag pouches on the front, and two on the side molle. It comes with built in m4 mag pouches, big enough for 3 magazines (I think. I don't own an m4, so I'm not positive.)
-Temperature: Open sides keep me cooler. Expect to sweat under the vest like any other plate carrier though.
CONS
-Small: If you don't want a small vest, and an Interceptor plate carrier is more your style, don't buy this. If you want the smaller trauma plate-style armor of special forces, go ahead.
-Tight: As I said, I'm a big guy, so while the vest fits perfectly fine, I can't overlap the sides. If you're any bigger than me, or if you're shorter and the weight isn't spread out and more centered in the middle, this vest will not fit you well, if it does at all. Try an Interceptor. I have one and it can expand to be gigantic.
-Lack of Protection: This vest is similar to a trauma plate carrier. It does not cover the sides at all unless you buy the side plates, and even if you do, there is still a lot of the side left uncovered. Also, it comes up short on the front and back. If you want full protection, or like the look of a juggernaut or realistic US Army or US Marine outfit, don't go for this. This vest looks more like a Green Beret, Delta, or PJ plate carrier.
Other than that, it's a great vest, very comfortable, easy to move in, and sturdy. Great camo (ATATC-S FG) and very good for California brush. Recommend buy.

"I just got this in today and am extremely impressed with what I got. To start, it comes in a nice storage bag to keep it in. The packaging is branded as Emerson and not Avengers. Also, the packaging of the jpc is clearly labeled as multicam and not land camo. Not sure why it is labeled as land camo on the site. Although it is not a licensed multicam, it is extremely difficult to tell that it isn't genuine multicam. It came with pretty decent plates. The plates are size medium (10x12) and fit great. I have seen a lot of people that say the jpc is designed for smaller people and this just is not true at all. I am 6'2 and I weigh 215lbs and this fits me perfectly. The jpc is sized according to plate size and not body size. The medium plate is designed for anyone with a chest cirumference up to 40 inches and I am just below that. That being said, it is designed to be low profile to it fits a little more snug that your larger carriers, but if you are a big guy, don't be scared away by the people who say it is designed for small people. All you have to do is adjust it. The cumberbund is awesome and the shoulder straps are fine without any additional padding. My only complaints are that the integrated mag pouches seem a little deep for airsoft mags and that is smells a little funky, but that will go away after some use. Overall the jpc is a great plate carrier for low profile loadouts and is great for players of all shapes and sizes.
Pros:
Very accurate multicam pattern
Comes with pretty decent plates
Comes in a pretty cool storage bag
Cumberbund and shoulder straps are easily adjusted
Plenty of Molle realestate
Integrated Mag and Admin pouches
Very breatheable
Material and stitching are up to par for the price
Cons:
Smells a little funky right out of the box
Integrated mag pouches are a little deep but if you use magpuls or ranger plates you will be fine
Final thoughts: This is a great plate carrier for any airsoft player and is a very high quality product for the price. I highly recommend it if you aren't willing to put down hundreds of dollars on an actual Crye JPC.

"I have had many chest rigs in my time but this one takes the cake, extremely light very tight fitting and allows me to keep it close to my body so it does not bounce around while i move quickly. Extraordinarily customisable allowing you to run varying load outs. I recommend running a battle belt with it as you will mostly want to keep magazines on you're new rig, all you're other pouches can stay on the battle belt. All and all its worth it, make sure you molle weave correctly and tighten you're straps!
by Nolan H. on 05/12/2014
"This Rig will fit ANYONE easy to put on and adjust if you want sapi plates get the medium size i have a vid on it

"This plate is amazing I am smaller in size and this fits perfectly this is the only plate carrier that I could find to fit
Pros:
Light weight
durrable
breathable
perfect size for smaller frames
Cons:
The only problem I had was I bought plates and it came with some already
Be sure that if you want dummy plates DONT order any it came with some unless you want some that are more curved and don't smell like they have been in a box for ever.
