This sucker is Rad
Great plate carrier. I’ve used many other types of vests, some sold by Rogue, with weights placed high on the chest. I like this best because it sits more flush with the torso, distributes the weight better, and doesn’t restrict my breathing as much. I like the cumber bun because it’s open on the sides for venting and secures quickly. I’ve used it multiple times in the past couple weeks for Murph and even burpee WODS. Very glad I went with this vest.
Yes, I recommend this product

Great vest
Everything about this vest is really good. Feels good when worn and holds up nicely. I only have two things i would change; the way the weights strap in place inside and the wire used for shoulder and waist adjustment. Everything else makes this vest worth the buck
Yes, I recommend this product

Heavy Duty!
So far I am enjoying this weight vest. Seems very well made. I was skeptical about the weights being inserted through the bottom of the vest, but the 4 straps, plus bottom velcro make it very secure. Curious to see how it holds up to sun exposure and all the sweat. I imagine my navy blue will turn purple in a short while. Overall very satisfied.

Over complicated for just training
Thought that i was going to love this vest best one i like 5.11 products and because of the reviews. Although I am disappointed in it. It’s a pain to use and simply just too complicated. Takes so much time to adjust and switch plates. It makes noise the whole time if you’re running because of the quick release (which is completely unnecessary for training and just makes the product worse. Quality seems fine. Not worth the price. ITs also very bulky. Buy the new rogue plate carrier instead. I don’t understand how this vest was so highly rated.

Plates only fit through the bottom
Plates fit through an opening at the bottom not at the top which doesn't make sense at all.

The plates are installed at the bottom of the plate carrier. There are both vertical and lateral straps that keep your plates centered and secured.

Great quality but...
So I received it about a week ago and I love the tactec vest! Extreme high quality and great durability and overall comfortability. The only issue I have is one of the USA cast iron plates has a small air bubble on the top left of the handle which knowing how coatings and all that go and ordering the more expensive plates I expected them to be more thorough with inspections before shipping out. If this air bubble gets dented or compromised it will definitely result in corrosion of the plate which really does concern me especially that these plates are probably going to get wet due to sweat. Other than that great quality overall.
Yes, I recommend this product
