Great Plate Carrier |

I have been using the Eagle Ind. Plate Carrier in Multicam for a year now, with the last six months of use in Afghanistan. With this setup, I use PACA Soft Armor, as well as issued ESAPI plates. With that said, this setup has become heavy during long patrols, but has held up GREAT! To mitigate the weight on the shoulders, I purchased additional shoulder pads, to widen them and better disperse the weight.
Eagle makes a SOLID product, but with any product it may require modifications in order to perform in the manner that suits the end user. For use of the issued side plates, it was needed to widen the pockets on the cummerbund for them to fit.
Pros: -Solid Product -Great Warranty -1000D Nylon is as good as it gets. -Made in the USA!
Cons: -Required modification for side plates -Additional shoulder pads needed, as the straps are thin and narrow
I would definitely recommend this plate carrier to anyone heading over to send the Taliban to meet Elvis and TuPac.
