I'm looking to get a plate carrier for a set of ceramic SAPI plates. I'm not super picky on color options: ranger green, OD or multicam is fine. Just want something relatively lightweight with MOLLE on it....

I rock Esstac. I have an older ASS that is modified as a low profile carrier and I have a few of their Gen 2 Daeodons. My wife also has a Daeodon. She says it’s very comfortable. She has worn it to a few all day training sessions. We did add some pontoons to help with airflow. She has a couple of options for PCs and she says the Daeodon is her favorite. Considering she isn’t a full time gun person or has ever had to wear body armor for a living, I think her observations are more valid than mine since I am use to shit setups from years of wearing things like an OTV so I’ll overlook a minor issue where is for her it is a glaring problem and she would say something. I like how scaleable the Esstac setup is.

For molle, you can add panels to the carrier. It's better to run clups or qasm buckles so you can swap placards in the fly. On the back, you might be better off running zips.

Just my opinion.

Definitely want qd buckes on the cummerbund. Velcro wears out. Set and forget.
