Vests will bend some what. That's a rough copy of the Eagle/AI MBSS. Even in plate carriers, I prefer to have hard plates in them. I feel that they just don't fit as nice when they aren't very rigid. I know quite a few people like the MBSS vest, but I haven't worn one personally.

To me that one looks alittle fragile if you know what I mean. It looks poorly made at you will probaly get what you pay for, I have a PC, it's not like that one but it's a condor and would reccomend that company.

I would recommend at least 600D Cordura for any gear. Get 1000D Cordura if you can but definitely skip Nylon fabrics. They just don't stand the test of time...

Actually, the denier of the cordura doesn't matter as much as how the product is stitched. It will still contribute slightly towards durability, but it has to do mostly with weight. For example, Mayflower, BAE Eclipse and Eagle Industries make gear in 500D and Mayflower even makes gear in a 500, 330 blend. And they make it for actual use. But as for that PC, it looks terrible. I wouldn't trust something that cheap on eBay. Go Condor if you want something that will last. Or hell, buy a MAV, they are inexpensive and great quality. Or you can browse commerce for awhile until something pops up for a good price.

I think GBiscuit is onto something there. Plate carrier are built to carry plates. They can work without them, but if you don't ever intend to use a plate, you're better off with a chest rig.

Youdontknowme, did you look at the shipping price? It's actually more than the item that you would be buying. My immediate suggestion, based of personal experience would be that buying airsoft supplies off of Ebay is a crap shoot. Not to mention that, that "plate carrier" (if you could even really call it that) looks to be absolute trash, so no, that would not be comfortable.
There's certain brands that are better than others, Condor is, IMO, the best on the market. They're tough, they have great quality control and come in all shapes and sizes but your wallet does take the punch for it. I play with people who will swear by OE Tech and from what I've seen, they look to be quality carries with good MOLLE webbing. You should look at the sites linked to from the main page and just browse what they have. If you see something you like, it never hurts to just shoot the store an email and ask them about it. Good luck!

Also, it's worth noting that Condor and OE Tech are the same stuff. OE Tech simply re-brands Condor's items. Every piece of OE Tech gear I've ever bought new has had a Condor tag on it. And, like sh1fteh said, at least go with Pantac stuff. For the Airsoft world, I think they're the best value for the money. Nothing compares to the real stuff, though

Even adding a bib to the MAV can jack the price up, so if you have a genuine need for all that real estate, it might be a toucher decision. However, if a MAV provides all the real estate you need, it's a great buy at the price. TT makes their gear for actual combat troops, not airsofters, so you know the quality will be there. They make their gear in the US and have a great rep for standing behind it, in the unlikely event that it fails. I use a lot of their stuff and I've never had any cause to complain.

Maybe he can't afford the real deal stuff, I know I sure as hell can't. Yes, I'm sure versus the real deal stuff, Condor, OE tech and a lot of other stuff is garbage but if he's just looking to buy something he can use until he's going to upgrade, those all work. Where does one actually get Pantac gear apart from Redwolf, which no offense to Redwolf, I can't say I really trust their Hong Kong shipping.
