Matrix 600D MOLLE Plate Carrier Tactical Package with Hydration Carrier (Color: Black)

"Pros:
- $40 for a molle plate carrier w/ functional, removable 2L hydration pack (if there is a sale)
- Durable material that can withstand high-FPS bbs, and it can take medium-size plates from the bottom openings to add more protection
- Adjustable side straps to fit my large body size (36" waist and 40" chest)
- Removable mag pouches for M4/AK series magazines and three pistol-size items (can be tourniquet or energy bar). It also has retention cords to keep magazines in place and allows quick-draw reloading
- Comfortable and easy to wear (buckle is redesigned to place on the front!)
- Wide color choice to suit different load-outs

Cons:
- Doesn't come with dummy plates and not the best quality with random threads poking out, but hey, $40
- No side panels for side protection, but this can be fixed by putting two rectangular panels on the side (such as an EMT pouch https://www.evike.com/products/25442/, but it's cheaper on Amazon)
- Not very breathable if tight it up
- Shoulder strap has limited adjustability and no molle webbing
- Hard to attach shoulder protector or lower torso

Small issues:
- The hydration nozzle needs some work to fix at the front through loops on the shoulder strap
- Only one thin strip of velcro on the hydration pack
- Collar can get in the way while ADS
- If using AK mags, it will be hard to add a larger admin pouch on the chest

Verdict:
Comes with functionality, comfort, and affordability, the plate carrier might be the best one for beginner and intermediate players. This carrier can also be a great DIY kit for modifications since it is very cheap and durable. Not the most tacticool plate carrier, but it can get the job done with a much lower price tag.

"Great chest rig to get on a budget

Pro-
-Comes with 3 M4 and pistol mag holders
-Hydration bladder
-Great marital
-Cheap

Con-
-Not breathable

"Incredible beginner plate carrier, comes with a camel back water pouch so you dont get dehydrated
(I'd recommend EMG foam plates so that it stays rigid)

"GET THIS if beginning or low budget like me.
Have not used it yet in game but wore a while and here's what I think:

Pros;
Hydration bladder
Good materials
Plenty of mag space
Molle everywhere for customization
Bladder and pouches removable
Includes belt
Good quality for low price

Cons;
Not sure how to put a plate in, had to use velcro on inside to hold it and worked fine but wierd
Shoulder straps not very adjustable

All in all it is great.

"Outstanding chest rig to start out with.

Pros-
comes with a pouch that holds 3 m4/ak mags and 3 pistol mags
comes with a belt
comes with a hydration bladder

Cons-
hydration bladder can leak if it isn't upright or if it is filled to the brim

Overall it does what it is meant to do and doesn't break the bank

"Terrific rig. It has served me well and would recommend if you’re looking for an assault rig. My only complaint is the water bladder that came with it, but I mean you get what you pay for

"this is the best starter pack for beginners. it comes with the plate carrier mag pouches and pistol pouches hydration pack and blatter and a belt, I mean come on. this is really good

"Very nice chest rig!
Lots of pouches and bags to carry max gear
No problems what so ever

"It's a really good vest but if you a big/tall guy I would recommend something else as this thing is super tiny on me I'm 6'4 and it looks super goofy when I wear it, so now it's my girlfriends vest

"I am 6ft3 and this thing looks like it was for a teenager not an adult my size
It is small
Doesn't even go down my whole chest
The buckles are in the back as said by another review; very frustrating
Strong construction though, really cheap too

"I ordered this for a CQB style of play. It worked fairly well. I am 6 foot tall and weigh approx 220lbs. Fit just fine. The mag holders didn't fit my BAMF mags but fit regular m4 style mags fairly well with my pistol mags in front of those. The water carrier on the back isn't too bad. The water bladder that came with it leaks every time I put water in it. Looks to be of a poor quality. I'll probably have to buy a new bladder but the pouch will work just fine. All in all it was fair for the price. However, if I could do it all over again I'd probably buy one after a little more research.

"overall its of good quality. The build is good and is sewn together well. but the two big issues I have are that the damm buckles are in the back. I feel like I need to break my arm to reach far enough around to buckle it in also the bladder that it came with has plastic fittings. plastic is normally ok for this type of thing but the barb connecter that attaches to the bladder itself can some out a little bit exposing the o ring and have it leak. The easy fix for this is to push it back in but I really wish I didn't have too. that being said the pouches are good the molle works well it fits well enough for me but if your of a smaller size you might find it a tad big. I'm satisfied with how it works and feel as tho I got my moneys worth.

"Its a decent chest rig although the straps to tighten the rig have a lot of length and you have to tuck it under your mag pouch a specific way for it not to look bad and also the water bladder does not work at all but the backpack it came with is very useful for plastic sandwich bag with BB's and a speed loader and if you're like me I like to carry a scope in case I want to quickly switch optics for longer range, its also good foor keeping a large note book, overall a good general purpose backpack
