Ive had exp with a few plate carriers and plate carrier vests.

Ive used the Blackhawk and Paraclete Plate carriers. All the supposed upgrades (Read IVS System) to the blackhawk carrier just made it heavier and hard to adjust. The Paraclet carrier is simple and easy to use.

Ive used the HSGI Wasach (sp?) and like the idea, but find that its too easy to overload the whole system, and it does not work too well if you are driving or forced to sit in seats in Helos. It was designed to be worn over a seperate soft armor vest, so there is no padding on the shoulders.

I would like to check out the Callahan rig from SOTech. Looks like a scaled down version of the Wasach, with padding on the shoulders and only 6 mags internal instead of the 12 with the Wasach.

Just my 2 pesos, YMMV
