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 - Woodland
Lightweight and durable Spitfire Plate Carrier tactical vest in Woodland camouflage. Made from laser-cut laminate, highly durable 500D Cordura, and softshell. The vest's design does not restrict movement, and its modularity allows for proper customization to meet the user's needs.
durable 500D Cordura
The Spitfire Plate Carrier model is made from laser-cut laminate, durable and abrasion-resistant 500D Cordura, and softshell. The vest's design does not restrict movement, and its modularity allows for optimal customization to meet the user's needs.
durable construction, hypalon handles
Thanks to the use of durable and flexible hypalon handles, the vest adjustment is quick and easy. The handles also provide easy medical access if first aid is needed and are resistant to abrasion, tearing, and extreme temperatures. The vest's design allows for safe cable management near the plate pockets and the Cummerbund. The front flap can be attached directly to the vest or with Chest Rig type buckles (system compatible with Mayflower/Velocity, HSP, and others), and it is also possible to use the vest without a flap. The exchangeable Cummerbund is equipped with a compartment for side plates. The rear panel is compatible with the Crye Precision AVS system thanks to zippers. Additionally, the vest is equipped with a reinforced evacuation handle.
laser-cut system, velcro panel
The surface of the vest is covered with cutouts made using Laser-Cut technology, compatible with MOLLE accouterment. This allows for any configuration of equipment elements - pouches, cases, or pockets. At chest height, there is a zippered pocket with a Velcro (hook and loop) panel, which allows for the attachment of selected patches or emblems.

Woodland Camouflage
Woodland, also known as US Woodland or M81, is a classic camouflage pattern introduced to the United States armed forces in the early 1980s, modeled after the earlier ERDL camouflage. For over two decades, it remained the standard pattern used by the US military until the end of the first decade of the 21st century. It features large, irregular patches in shades of green, brown, beige, and black, providing good masking and distortion properties, especially in forested areas. Due to its effectiveness and global recognition, it has resulted in numerous variations adopted by over 60 uniformed formations worldwide. This pattern also had a significant impact on popular culture, transitioning from military to everyday fashion applications.

Velcro
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
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.
System MOLLE
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.
Laser Cut System
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.
