I hate that 5.11 also clearly gave a fuck ton of these out to Hollywood prop departments for advertising because their proliferation in mid or garbage tier tactical/military shows and movies is ridiculous. I think I first remember seeing one in 13 Hours and then after that it's like every other show or movie that needed an actor wearing a plate carrier, the 5.11 Tac-Tec would rear its ugly head again. If it wasn't a Tac-Tec it was an MOPC, or the garbage airsoft repros of the CIRAS and FSBE AAV-QR. The Four Plate Carriers of the Apocalypse.

The cummerbund failed to adequate support the weight of their 152 Radio and the plates severely sagged in their bags because of the crappy material after multiple days being in the cold, wet, and muddy NC training NTA. The plates in general sat even lower when paired with a ruck because of their flawed Quick-release system. It held up worse than any of the Condor plate carriers I've seen in FTXs.

I have some level 3 plates in it and kinda renegaded it as a “lightweight” pc. Like a chest rig with some armor capacity. I have 4 mags across the front, a dump pouch and IFAK, and it’s pretty minimalistic. Pretty light carrier build. I definitely wouldn’t pay full price. I’m running a Shellback Banshee 3.0, and it’s a lot more conducive to tactical considerations.

If you have any weight in pouches on the torso area it will undo the Velcro and hang that's why I like the admin zipper on the agilite as opposed to Velcro. Other than that awesome plate carrier people just like to hate on them because cross fit people use them aswell.

Interresting sort of review. I do agree on the shoulder straps, which should have been adjustable. Given it is a what, 15 year old design? Or around that. In an enviroment that is so adaptive, it does not surprise me that you're critical of it. However, considering we were doing body armour and chest rigs at the time this was released, and that the JPC was a real innovation at the time, the TacTec doing wacky things doesn't surprise me, nor does it ageing so poorly. It is still a workable carrier for sure, but would not be on my top 50 pc list. Having seen it be used by those Russian SF dudes in Syria, and it being worn by US Rangers on occasion when they didn't spring for the original JPC (or maybe they got it handed down, idfk?) Makes me confident that it works in adverse conditions. Definitively highlighted alot of my complaints with mine though. Too bad I hadn't read more around before getting into the carrier game. Could have avoided the TacTec and JPC (original) and the AA pcs all together. Good video, definitively interresting to hear opinions.

@@chomper720guys, I know context of this events. The truth is that... Tactec is fashionable in Eastern Europe. Seriously. Ruzzkies and Ukrainian guys use it because it's cool in their opinion. In reality they have a lot of options, but prefer tactec because they like it 😂 You should live with this knowledge

The Crye JPC entered production in 2011 and remains the default carrier on the market with a handful of minor modifications, the Tactec definitely stands no chance in that bracket

Those shoulder straps are 100% adjustable. It ain't Crye Precision, but for around $200 dollars, it's not really anywhere near as bad as you're making it out to be. I've used this plate carrier for quite a while, and there are some things i wish they'd improve, for example I don't like how the QD handle dogs into my neck of its on the inner velcro panel, but if it's outside it gets caught on shit but there ways around that, in the marines were always doing our own modifications to our issued plate carrier like using 550 cord to cinch down the plate bag, so with very minor mods this is a good plate carrier.

@EODFish I would but I don't regret it. Crye is overhyped and overrated. Sure, it's nice, but I don't personally see what it does that my 5.11 doesn't, considering that my gear doesn't just sit on a display in my basement, and I actually use it.

I’m sure you would have figured out the adjustment had you watched the video on how to adjust it, really isn’t that difficult, your just a little slow. Which is fine, as someone who personally uses 5.11 plate carriers (not as my main rig) the only issue I’ve had is not having side mountable MOLLE, that’s literally it, all this other shit your complaining about is obsolete and only a problem because you allow it to be my guy. Sure it’s not all high quality super great quality, but it’s not shit. It out performs quite a lot of brands on the market. Like a lot. I think you should have given more time, wear and tear, and actually well, watched their video on using their plate carrier before you make a review video about it. When evidently you don’t know much about the brand or anything. A poor and dishonest review in my opinion.
@traintomarzz841

Also recall that 5.11 from the beginning never intended on becoming a tactical brand, they only became “tactical” after being bought out by their now parent company. It was initially a hiking/rock climbing brand, not tactical. So I think your expectations are a little high. Especially comparing a $150 PC to a $700 FerroConcepts PC.

So, here's the deal. They're not the best carriers. That's fair. However, they are designed to hold 11X14 inch plate, and to be worn by bigger guys. The shoulder straps are absolutely adjustable. They're kind of a pain, but you should only size it once. I see these things getting a lot of hate from people they weren't made for. If you're not a big guy, don't buy a big carrier.
