Condor MOPC Modular Operator Plate Carrier MOPC-498 Tactical Reviews, Deals, Problems and Guides

Good carrier. It’s not a Crye precision but neither is the price. I’ve only had it out training once so far but it moves well for running, jumping, diving in and around barriers. Drag handle works but could have had a bit more sewing around it. I’m 235lbs + gear and although it held dragging me I’m not sure how long it would last. I’m going to change out the shoulder pads though. The ones that come with it are a bit hard and rub. Holds trauma pads and plates securely. I added a 1/2 thick dense foam plate backer, made things much more comfortable. The thing doesn’t breath very well so expect to sweat your balls off when training in it. Overall It seems built well. I’m happy with the site, the shipping was crazy fast, I had it in 3 days from order. Will order from them again.....

This being my third one, I know exactly what I have to do when I buy it. I use it with ESAPI plates, with 6X8 side plates and medium front and back. The reason it gets 3.5 is because of the cummerbund retention system in the back and that stupid button on the inside of the front piece that retains the Velcro flap. The fix for this, for me, is to get it sized right and sew the side parts to the back plate carrier. Done it to all three that I’ve had, and it works perfect. I put a quick release plastic buckle in place of the button, the button will just rust anyways and it’s IMPOSSIBLE to snap with gear on the plate carrier. I also cut off the “antenna/drink tube” holders. You can just run those things through the shoulder straps. The last one I had lasted 3 years. The first one I used in Iraq, and it held up great. Shoulder buckles squeak once in a while, not a deal breaker. For the price, I’ll always look for this style set up before going to anything else, even if I have to do some “cleanup” work to get it the way I want it.

This is far better than the old worn out carriers my dept issues to us. Price is right, and for is perfect. Buy this, you will not be sorry.

It's small, light, and comfortable.

This carrier is what I was looking for in service, and has made anything I need to do now easy. It also breathes well and moves with the body, which are both necessities you don't get from the government issued IOTV. What I love most is that it's so small and light that it doesn't feel like it's trying to pull me down, it's not hard to put on at all, and I've actually forgot that I was wearing it a couple of times. The profile on this carrier is so thin that I can get in and out of transport with ease, and actually sit at a desk and type as if I wasn't wearing armor at all. Condor Knocked this one out of the park, I can't wait to get this carrier home for good, and add it to my Hunting/bug out gear. Oh, and Tactical Gear sent it directly to me in Afghanistan, it took a couple of weeks to get to me, but it was well worth the wait. The price was awesome, without a doubt, this carrier could easily be worth twice what they cost.

At first I was a little hesitant about buying this PC because of the brand, but I decided to give it a shot after doing some extensive research, and the only thing I can say is that it was the right decision. For the price you get a very well made, modular and easy to use piece of gear. It’s a very affordable product that delivers the same features as the other high dollar products out there, it might not have been made in the USA, yes is Chinese made but designed in the states, and you can tell there is some serious quality control in the manufacturing process.
If you are in a budget and you are looking for a great product that is going to hold all your gear to fight zombies this is the way to go!!!
Also delivery wasn’t bad at all, got it very quick and no issues. I’ll defiantly be buying more things here

Great Rig. Theres only 1 thing that I do not like. The Cummerbund strap does not fit me well. I am 5'-8" 185 lbs. In the back of the rig is a bungee style elastic that pulls the tension of the cummberbund. I untied it and tightened it up all the way and still the cummberbund just almost fits as tight as I want it. However how tight isnt one of the major problems its how the cummberbund velcros to the front flab. My cummberbuns overlap each other which only gives my front flap 1/2 of the velcro base. If I give it full Velcro base then the Rig would fit way to loose. Possibly this problem will go away with Plates inserted. I have yet to test that but this is an absolute great chest rig / plate carrier. Multicam is everywhere on this is thing and it is very comfortable. I cummberbund situation can be fixed / tailored to each users needs by personal repairs with firmer elastic or sowing. I would buy again, especially at this price point. Im thinking of the other and even cheaper colors. Like black for maybe home protection situations, OD Green for the fact that I like OD green and so forth.

I wore this same model while serving in the military, except that one was coyote. I maintain a pretty standard gunfighter setup, with mag pouches and a radio pouch. Overall, the MOPC is a great carrier with plenty of attachment room and lots of Velcro, which I like. Highly recommended for military, law enforcement, and security. There are loops, MOLLE rigging, and tension adjustments all over it, so there should never be an excuse as to why your gear isn't wired tight with the Condor MOPC.

This carrier may not have all the bells and whistles of its much higher priced competition, but the average user is sure to be very pleased with it. I do wish it could slim down a little more to fit to smaller framed guys. I am 5'10 and would consider myself to have an average build. The medium sized carrier it fits me just perfectly when I have it sinched down to its smallest adjustment possible. The shoulder pads are comfortable, and the materials are more than solid enough to last for years as long as you aren't sliding down hills of razor rocks and barbed wire. To top it all off, the price is nearly unbeatable for the quality this carrier offers. I would recommend this carrier to anyone who wants a solid carrier at an ideal price, just be certain to research the sizing a little before you buy it online.

I have to say this is the best outer carrier for such a low price. I've worn a lot of carriers that were very uncomfortable and very difficult to use while on duty. The quality is by far one of the best I've ever had. I'm a bigger guy and as anyone buying a vest knows the bigger you are sometimes it's harder to get the right fitting carrier. This one has so much more room to be adjusted for an even bigger person I love it. If your looking for a new vest look no further it carries all my soft and hard plates with ease and distributes the weight of all my gear evenly. I can wear for an entire 12hr shift with out any problems. Great product! Thank you again Condor you guys have made me a customer for life!

The side plate pouches while they say are 6x8 they barely fit them.... you cannot fit 6x8 trauma pads behind you side plates... just doesn't fit. Also seems like the cumberbund is a little big.. tightened it completely and still have large gap between back plate and the side plate.. I'm a 33" waist.
