Great vest, very comfortable. Admittedly, it's not one of the cheapest, but it's worth every penny spent. The flat, wide straps are an excellent solution, allowing freedom in positioning the buttplate. Class of its own, impossible to copy.
Direct Action Spitfire Plate Carrier Tactical Vest - Black
The black Spitfire Plate Carrier Tactical Vest is distinguished by its light weight and durability. It uses laser-cut laminate, durable 500D Cordura and softshell, making it very sturdy. The vest's design allows for a full range of movement and offers modularity for precise customization.
sturdy 500D Cordura
The Spitfire Plate Carrier model was created from laser-cut laminate, durable and abrasion-resistant 500D Cordura and softshell. Thanks to its design, it does not restrict freedom of movement, and its modularity allows for flexible adaptation to the specific needs of the user.
durable construction, hypalon handles
The use of durable and flexible hypalon handles makes it easier and faster to adjust the vest. They also allow quick medical access in the event that assistance is needed. They feature resistance to abrasion, tears and extreme temperatures. The vest allows for protective cable routing around the plate pocket and Cummerbund. The front flap can be attached directly to the vest or with Chest Rig buckles (compatible with Mayflower/Velocity, HSP and other systems), and a non-flap configuration is also possible. The interchangeable Cummerbund has room for side panels. The back panel works with the Crye Precision AVS system through the use of zippers. The vest is also equipped with a reinforced emergency handle.
laser-cut system, velcro panel
The vest is covered with holes created using Laser-Cut technology, which are compatible with MOLLE equipment. This provides freedom of configuration of elements such as carriers, pouches or pockets. The zippered chest pocket is equipped with a Velcro panel, allowing to attach any patches or emblems.

The velcro panel is an area with sewn-on Velcro tape that allows easy attachment of various additional items, such as patches or pockets.
Cordura is a material woven from durable nylon fibers, developed by DuPont. The structure of the material provides lightness and abrasion resistance, as well as weather resistance. Due to its properties, Cordura is widely used in tactical equipment.
MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) is a system for attachment of tactical equipment, used for example in backpacks or tactical vests. It provides the possibility of flexible and modular placement of various accessories and pockets, which allows personalization and optimal adjustment of the item to the specific needs of the user. It is widely used by the military, special services and survival and outdoor enthusiasts.
LCS (Laser Cut System) is a new version of the assembly used in the MOLLE system, where instead of traditional tapes, laser-cut holes are used directly in the material. The system is much lighter than standard sewn-on PALS tapes and guarantees better camouflage. The holes are hemmed with thread to prevent fuzzing and ripping, or, as in the case of Cordura, the laser-cut edges are fused.

One of the last elements I was missing to complete the set. Very comfortable and durable. The only downside is the lack of the string for quickly removing the vest. Other than that, great vest, 10/10.
-
The vest is solid, fits very well, the possibility of modification is huge, worth its money.
-
A bit small, it doesn't even cover the belly button or the kidneys, but I guess that's how it's supposed to be. Besides that, it's easy to put on, easy to take off, and very lightweight.
-
Direct Action means quality workmanship and well-thought-out solutions. Minimalism where it should be. I use it and highly recommend it.
-
The quality of Direct Action equipment probably doesn't need much introduction. As of today, it's one of the top brands in this price range. The vest is comfortable, and the material on the inside works much better than the popular foam + mesh in terms of thermal comfort. Quick and simple adjustment, ballistic plates sit securely and do not move. I recommend it.
-
Excellent system, solid workmanship, a top-tier vest, first class. I highly recommend it. You have to pay a bit for it, but it's worth it.

Fantastic system. Very solid construction and top-notch quality. Highly recommended if you can afford it. You won't regret it.
