Condor Modular Operator Plate Carrier Table Top Review

The Modular Operator Plate Carrier offered by Condor is an AWESOME tactical vest option that is cheaper than many alternatives while offering true modular design. Almost infinitely customizable, this carrier is great for building a load bearing system, and does have the capability of carrying ballistic plate. It is a bit pricey compared to some webbed designs in UCP or Woodland or other camo patterns, and it can get hot since it doesn't breath as much as other designs. However, it is still a great option and a great addition to my gear.

If you ready for zombie, i don't think you need armor plate, you just need anti melee plate on your entire body. if you deal with Armageddon maybe you need body armor only. however, if you got shot on the leg only you will die infection in few days. it does not matter how you prepare. the best prepare is hoping it will never happens.

@moistfaucet I'm not too worried about any of that. I just needed something truly modular for camping/hunting/shooting in general. If I ever do need to "bug out" (which I doubt ever happens) I can use this to carry more junk and distribute the weight better. The ability to carry plates is irrelevent to me because I don't want to get shot at all, with or without plate. Especially not when I'm alone or with only my family.

It cant hold plates! means nothing if it cant!

[ghillisniper300]

@SOLDERBOY69 Are you saying it can't hold plates as in "it isn't made to hold plates" or do you mean it as in "it's made to hold plates but it doesn't work so it won't hold plates"? It is made to hold plates but I didn't buy it for that purpose so I have never put plates in it, so I don't know if there are any problems with that part of the design or not.

@ghillisniper300 Why would you buy a plate carrier to not hold plates? Condor is an airsoft only brand, I have seen many of those models rip with steel and ceramic plates inside. If I were you I would have ditched the MC color and bought the Eagle brand for the 40 bucks more and have peace of mind.

The other problems with this rig is the drag handle breaks quick and you cant get in or out of it fast enough or quiet enough. They had the right idea for weight distribution but bad design

@SOLDERBOY69 I bought a "tactical" vest once that was advertised to be modular but wasn't. I wanted an entry level load bearing vest that was actually modular and this seemed to be a good choice for me. So far I love it and I've been running it for a couple of years, so I think I made a good choice.

Also, they sell Condor on military bases to military personnel so I don't think it is "airsoft only".

@ChromeDove Bummer! I didn't know that. That's funny that USPatriotTactical sold me mine and supposedly that is run by people in the military primarily for military people!  You might just do a google search for the item and then do some price shopping.

@ghillisniper300 I tried Opsgear and they have restrictions for civilians. They only sell to military or Police.

[ghillisniper300]

@ChromeDove Anyone can buy them. There are tons of places you can shop online for these. My favorties are Opsgear, USPatriotTactical, and GMS. But there are others that I'm just not remembering right now.

Do you have to be military to buy this or can a civilian get one too?
