The plate carrier arrived expeditiously, and appears to be constructed solidly, with durable materials and stitching. I’ve used it for only a short period thus far so I can’t comment on longevity. Hook-and-loop adjustments with snaps on the shoulder straps as well as hook-and-loop panels on the back and front of the vest (cummerbund-type straps surround the waist) allow for a custom fit that holds weight securely against the body. I performed handstand pushups and the vest surprisingly, mostly retained its position and slid only slightly toward my head. I was using 20lbs; perhaps heavier weight would cause it to move more. Performing one-legged burpees with a TRX (a lot of vigorous movement) did not cause the vest to jump around on my body, it stayed firmly in place. Ample padding in the shoulders and on the interior of the torso sections cushion the weight and make it as comfortable as putting extra weight on your body could be. My movement was mostly unimpeded—I could squat without thighs hitting the bottom of the vest, perform pull ups, pushups, curls, overhead presses with full articulation and no rubbing. The only exercise in which I experience rubbing against my upper bicep is the TRX “hip-throw,” which requires reaching across the chest toward the body’s midline. I have to adjust my technique and remain cognizant to avoid chafing. I’m not sure the manufacturer would be able to cut the vest further toward midline and still be able to fit weight plates. This might just be an inevitability of plate carriers. I purchased curved plates and highly recommend them. The reason for 4 stars and not 5 is that I’ve only had it for a short duration and can’t give it a complete review without putting it through months of various rigors, and also because Wolf didn’t include any instructions or links to helpful videos for adjusting it. They point users to a video of someone who reviews the merits of an older version of the vest, and its not clear whether it is professional Wolf content or just some random guy. A Wolf video specifically explaining how to use the newer vest would be helpful. Adding the weighted vest has certainly intensified my bodyweight workouts and I’m psyched for the new challenge. My stats for fit reference are: male, 6 ft, 180 lbs.
