I have quite a few weight vests, and quite a few plate carriers–many of them have been reviewed here on SGPT. From the HighCom Security R.A.K Body Armor to the Ironwear Fitness Uni Vest  , we’ve put our fair share through it. Now, all of that being said, the 511 plate carrier is my favorite to... Read More
