5.11 All Missions Plate Carrier Tactical Reviews, Deals, Problems and Guides

I'm a small dude at 5'8", 150#. Finding a carrier that fits me is pretty tough but I'm really glad I took a chance on this based on the few reviews I could find at the time.
Using multi-curve, Level III+ plates with Build Up coating in this carrier, I promise it mysteriously wears lighter than previous carriers with the same set up; it FEELS lighter! Despite the super thin appearance, the shoulder pads distribute the weight well and don't dig into your shoulders. While I haven't spent 8 hrs in this thing in a class or on duty, after a few hrs at the range I honestly believe it'd be no problem.
The Hexgrid looks like nothing out there, and at first, it's weird and very different. NOTE: it IS normal to weave your MOLLE like a snake rather than the straight line you're used to. This will make weaving pouches with thick MOLLE straps (think Condor) more of a challenge, however, the T3 Gear Tactical pouches weave like a dream, and are much lower profile due to design. Additionally, the Hexgrid allows angled mounting, which others cannot offer. In reality I'll probably not use all of the possible configurations, but it's nice to have options if needed.
Lastly, the drag handle is an epic design that others should adopt. Why would you not? It makes it so much more user functional should there be an actual need for it. Well thought out and loaded with features, all for a reasonable price. Good job, 5.11!
