Maybe I'll get one to add to the collection of carriers I already don't use.

In. Next question, where do I get an affordable but decent level III plate set? DSG runs specials pretty often for their titanium rifle plate set. Front and back is $189 iirc For both? Yeah unless my memory is worse than I thought, which admittedly is possible I remember getting a deal alert email and thinking holy shit that's a good price! Only reason I didn't buy a set is because I'm issued plates already |
|
I just called the company and the person I talked to was surprised at the sudden rush of orders. Most of the ones placed already will go out today or tomorrow at the latest if the info I was given does not change.

Mine took a week to ship. To be fair, I ordered Friday when this thread first posted, so there was the weekend in there. Shipped the following Friday and arrived Monday.
I'll post some pics and a short review this evening when I get home. For those wondering, I think it'll fit a large guy just fine. I'm 6' and 235 lbs and there's plenty of room to make it bigger. |

Finding things to fit me was a pain in the ass. Hell in reception when they were locating PC's for me, all the women getting us uniforms nicknamed me peanut. They never forgot me until I left Benning. I'm trying to gain weight, I swear! |

They've been priced that low for months, and it was even brought up here before. Not sure why they're suddenly grabbing everyone's attention this time. Is it because Denmark is about to go to war against Canada? |

How about a smaller guy? Anything you've found negative about it? Yes, it can be adjusted smaller, but I don't know how much smaller. I don't have plates yet and this, being new, is kinda stiff. I've also never worn armor before so I have no basis for comparison with any other PC. I will say this: it appears to be very well made. I cant wait until I can afford to spring for plates. |

I'm shocked I didn't see the thread sooner.
I am on GD all damn day. I'd have definitely ordered as soon as I saw it. |

Damn, nice to see this thread bumped. Post up pics if you have received yours!
Back when I started this thread I shot an e-mail over to their cust. service dept. basically asking 3 questions: 1) Are these plate carriers designed or manufactured by Shellback Tactical? That is, are they constructed to typical Shellback Tactical quality standards? 2) Is Defend-X in any way owned or operated by Shellback Tactical? 3) Are these discounted plate carriers covered by the same lifetime warranty offered on your Banshee carriers? Hello,
The carriers are manufactured to the same quality specs as Shellback products. Defend-X is not owned or operated by Shellback Tactical. There is not a Lifetime Warranty on these. Thank You, Shellback Tactical View Quote Take it for what it's worth. This is good deal. I fent. |

Thanks OP, hadn't seen these carriers until today. I ordered one.
|
|
I think that about 50 have sold since I first checked the website a few hours ago. I think the inventory then was about 131 but I might be off on that number.

Fent! I'm a big guy but it will give me a goal: to fit more of my fat ass into the carrier. ..

It looks like a AR15.com post sold about 70 today...and once people get home from work it should exceed 100.
If that is not a advertising clue what is (beyond the beaucoup other sales surges from posts here). |
|
I ordered my at 10:30 AM MST. They has about 100 left.
Just checked. Availability: 69 In Stock ARFCOM Army strikes again. |

Do we still need to fax a ccw copy if we just order the carrier and not the plates?

I ordered this morning and had a tracking number by lunch and I did not have to fax or send anything in. So, I assume the answer to your question is no. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Only 54 left! You really can't beat an american made plate carrier for this price.
|

I fent.
At that price if I don't like it I'll probably be able to flip it once the sale is over and make out OK. |
|
In for one. Been looking for a carrier for awhile

https://dsgarms.com/ktibaia0035 oddly the ar500 plates are actually about a pound lighter and better than 1/2 as much cost wise. <according to the posted specs> the dsg are steel/titanium. View Quote Brand name, they aren't really titanium. |
