LBX 0300 Tactical Modular Plate Carrier
(Color: Woodland / Small)

"A no- nonsense grab and go plate carrier from a reputable company.

With 3 years worth of work put on this carrier and plenty of bb wars, I believe im in the position to throw a review out there.

Its great, the LBX 0300 is a true no nonsense plate carrier with useless or fancy going on. It doesnt ship with QD tubes, or has some vented gimmick or is made of unobtanium. Its a rugged, unvented carrier through and through.
Its covered in MOLLE webbing in every place you need it and nowhere you wouldnt, has essential velcro where it would be needed, and the cummerbund is greatly adjustable. The padding on the shoulder straps is useless, however, and adds to shoulder bulk. Over 3 years of hard use and ive noticed minimal to no fraying of the fabric, zero ripped or torn stitching, and its endless customizability has allowed me to grow the carrier to the missions I use it for.

Overall if a player asked me what to buy, and their budget for a carrier is within 200$, this is what im recommending.

"Overall I would say this is the best plate carrier I've ever owned and I have had some as expensive as $400. I bought one of these probably 5 years ago now. I got it in ranger green and in the small size back while I was still in high school. Now being a college student and a bit bigger overall I needed to get a medium size to accommodate my growth. Stitching on this thing is intense. Part of my use of this has been as a referee though I've taken this to milsims, pickup games and regular Saturday play. Used it consistently (every Thursday and Saturday) for 3 1/2 years and then only 1 Saturday a month for the last year and a half.

Pros:
lightweight
compact
lots of real estate
points to run hydration hose/comms lines/HPA lines
great stitching
plate pockets don't let anything fall out

Cons:
I think my biggest is the plate pocket on the small is just a tad bit to small to fit a medium plate but come on... the small is well, small

rides a bit high if you don't adjust the shoulder straps

cummerbund moves around quite a bit if not secured externally to the vest; you might find one side longer than the other or the adjustment for the cummerbund on one side of the vest externally instead of in its slot

Other than these few small complaints I can't say anything bad about it and all of these are solvable with well placed attachments or slight adjust of how you wear the vest.

"Best plate carrier I've ever had, my only gripe with it is that the shoulder pads are stiff at first and really make my shoulders hurt but once you break it, wear it around the house go for a jog with it it goes away.

Highly recommend
