Just got the same carrier myself for Christmas, I'm eager to hear what you think of it. Was also interested to see that Team Wendy makes training plates but for $112 I might still just make my own out of foam.

Gah, that's hideous in A-TACS.

It's awesome in A-TACS. I will be picking up some Team Wendy training plates this spring. I was surprised to find out they made them as well.

Not airsoft related, but I like that you can get the soft armor panels that are cut for it and at a resonable price at that.
I agree that the Team Wendy training plates are pure win and definitely something I need buy.

Shellback Tactical sells their Level IIIA Soft Armor package for the Banshee and its only about $350(ish - I can't remember the exact price at the moment). Its something I might purchase in the future if I set the PC up for live fire training (not airsoft). |

Its a great carrier. Can surprisingly hold everything you need for such a small PC. I have no gripes about it so far. Like Thor and others have said, I thought about the Team Wendy plates, but have decided on making some fake plates out of a rubber/foam camping mat (still haven't gotten around to it. All the pictures are without any form of plates). The only gripe I have had with the process of receiving the carrier and pouches is that I ordered a Kangaroo Zipper pouch and it has not been shipped to me (ordered on Thanksgiving). However, I assume the pouch is on back order as the shipping claim read "Partially Shipped". I have a video review up on Youtube, but I won't post it here as I don't want to thread jack Dahm's thread to much. If you'd like more info, PM me and I can send you a link.

It's so much better looking in Multicam. My eyes don't want to claw their way through my brain just to get further away from the screen. I even generally like A-TACS, but that thing is an abortion.

How is it on size? Does it adjust tight for us smaller guys?
I'm 5'8", about 160 and I had to add another set of holes for the size adjustment straps on my CIRAS to make it fit me right.

Its adjustable, thats for sure. I'm about 5'10" and 190 lbs. I have mine tightened way down (admittedly, I like running my carriers extremely tight). As for if it would fit you, I can't say to be certain. You could probably get it that small, but don't take my word for it. The velcro on the cummerbund is overlapping when I go to put it on, although I have not played around with the shock cord in the back, so I know for a fact it can go tighter.

Connors you should be able to get it to fit you, both the shoulder straps and the cummerbund are fairly adjustable. I will say however, that this is a VERY small rig on most people. There is about enough room for your first line stuff and maybe a couple 2nd line pouches, and that's it. Also, if you are fat like me, you will feel like this carrier is too small, even when adjusted out properly. The only remedy for that is either to buy a bigger vest or get less fat. I'm personally going to try for the latter.
