Been reading all I can find on the subject. First I'm on a budget 200 pretty much my limit. Not going to be a everyday wear but I want something dependable. I see the Banshee are in my budget and are made of 500D but I also have found Condor one made in the U.S. one from China but both are 1000D. The higher end Condor are from 125 to 165. To me it would seem I should go with the Condor since it seems to be heavier made. But I dont know too much about the deal,any input GREATLY APPRECIATED!

I have had issues with Condor stitching. I also have quite a bit of 500d material that has been abused and holds up fine. 1000d always seems unnecessary to me (and heavy).

My experience with Condor hasn't been that great. They are ok for "replaceable" stuff like mag pouches and such, but for a plate carrier definitely go with the TAG Banshee (I love my Banshee, has held up MUCH longer with more abuse than my condor plate carrier).

Banshee.
If you can live with coyote brown, you can get one here for $106. Or black for $125.

Thanks guys,that is the kind of feedback I was looking for. It would be nice to get the multicam but I would rather have quality over color. Do the Banshee fit like the Condor adjustable from Med - XL? Im 5'8 180.One last question will the Banshee hold trama pads with the plate (as in,enough room for both)if I decided to buy some,down the line?

In looking more at the Banshee PC I came across the Warrior DCS PC. And it has the 3d mesh inside where the Banshee dosent. The warrior has a few upgrades over the Banshee for the same price. Anyone have experience with the Warrior?

One can always find something somewhere that seems like a good deal.

The best bet is to stick with a name brand like Crye, LBT, etc. that you know will be a high quality product.

I just got one of these Crye Airlight carriers. I have poly plates in it and its a super light setup:

It is within your budget and is multicam.

FYI, When you size a plate carrier you buy the size that matches the plates and not your body. They typically have enough adjustment to suit most people.

Warrior is a great product.  I know a few guys who have them and like them and have no complaints about the quality.  I just ordered the Recon model and it's due to me this Friday.

Love my Esstac Daeodon, and it's just slightly over your budget($240 with a 3x AR mag pouch). American made and very high quality

If they made a Banshee in my size, I'd buy one. I bought one and it was just to small.

I have decided to go with the Shellback Banshee 2.0. Cost a little more but has extra padding in the shoulders and a couple of other upgrades. But the extra padding was the seller for me. Thanks for the input guys.

How does the Banshee carrier compare to Highcom's APC or ACAP?

Warrior has very high quality buy it! I own the DCS and recon as all my pouches are warrior as well. The banshee is a high quality stripped down PC whereas the warrior is high quality loaded PC for a similar price.  Buy it you will not be sorry.

I just received the Recon yesterday.  I like the quality and overall feel of it.  Just need to get the plates and pouches for it now.
