Finding the Condor Quick Release Plate Carrier came as a real relief because it fit both soft armor panels as well as plates (Personally owned SAPI plates). Several years ago I bought a tactical soft armor outer carrier that was US made specifically for my armor and it wore out quite quickly not to mention how overpriced it was. Unfortunately, there are a lot of Dept/Agencies who do not provide their people with tactical outer carriers and guys are forced to buy their own. The problem is that most of the US made gear these days is really expensive and priced for GOV contract consumption. Apart from that, both brands are highly reliable and recommended by military personnel and experts.Here at we love US made gear as well. When presented with the option to choose between the two legends, you have to look at your style and choose the best brand accordingly.

It is a series of straps sewn at key locations on the chest carrier to organize your inventory easily. Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment or MOLLE webbing system is utilized in every Condor plate carrier. Generally, two types of webbing are used in plate carriers, and both of them have their own pros and cons. The webbing allows you to attach different equipment to the plate carrier so that you can carry them while keeping your hands free.
Webbing plays a crucial role in making any plate carrier field-friendly. Furthermore, there is enough room and a hanger to strap a second arm like a rifle to the plate vest. However, most of the pockets are placed at the center to provide easy accessibility. They have about seven pockets on average placed throughout the vest. NCStar plate carriers, on the other hand, take an improved approach. However, it doesn’t provide enough room to strap a secondary arm to the vest. Each new model of the vest is produced after several physical and psychological tests before going into production. Similarly, the placement of pockets ensures that all your equipment is within your reach, whether you are looking at it or not.Ĭondor plate carriers have more than ten pockets placed at key points. It is because you don’t want your inventory exposed to impact damage and environmental hazards like rain and water. The gear pockets determine the effectiveness of any plate carrier. It adds a little weight to the chest rig but ensures maximum durability and wear resistance. In contrast, some plate carriers have steel reinforcement. The benefit of synthetic reinforcement is that it is lightweight, sturdy, and corrosion-resistant. For instance, the medium-ranged plate carriers have a synthetic reinforcement in them. On the other hand, NCStar uses different materials to reinforce its product. The reinforcement material is strong and durable and doesn’t add to the total self-weight of the vest. They use an improved version of the material to provide unmatched durability and reliability in their products.Ĭondor uses improved 500D Cordura in their plate carriers with the addition of synthetic reinforcement. However, the quality of 500D used by Condor and NCStar is military-grade.
Almost all brands use this material in plate carriers and battle belts. 500D Cordura is the standard material for most plate carriers.
