HSS - Desert Shield Plate Carrier

[triax]

Good day.
I want you to know - whether you met the products of this company? how can I trust the equipment?. If I get help with the review of this equipment manufacturer, I will be grateful.
Is this company from the USA?

I understand that it is better Eagle. Black Water. audited or other manufacturers.

The plate carrier you linked looks to be well made, but I have no first hand experience with the manufacturer and have never heard of them.

I do want to convey some advice about plate carriers in general:

1. SAPI, ESAPI and SPEAR/BALCS plates are not stand alone.

2. They need soft armor of at least level II behind them.

3. If no soft armor is used, the spall and fragments can/will make nasty entry wounds as the high velocity fragments and round core passes through your chest.

Plate carriers are great, but only domestic law enforcement can have standalone plate for the lesser street threats.

If your in a combat zone, don't travel without fragment protection (soft armor) and don't waste weight on stand alone plates.

The plate carrier you linked does not have or offer a soft armor insert. I would go with a Diamond Back, PPM or Eagle and get the soft armor insert package that matches the threat.

Understand your threat and protect yourself accordingly.

Stay safe!
