Condor Gunner Plate Carrier Tactical Reviews, Deals, Problems and Guides

I wanted a vest that wouldn’t hinder my movements during my drills. I like the shoulder pads and the ability to tighten and loosen the vest’s shoulder and waist.

I was skeptical about this carrier at first because of the cost. Wasn’t expecting it to add up to much. I’m a smaller framed guy. 5.10. 150 pounds. And it’s hard to find things like this that fit well.
It fit amazingly. It carries basic load of 210 rounds with ease. And leaves plenty of room for your GP pouches and whatnot. I’ve tried both soft armor and sapi plates. Both fit well. If you’re not trying to break the bank, this carrier is perfect.

I am a small person (5-05") & this plate carrier fits perfectly on me, not too small, not too big. Fits a ton of stuff via the MOLLE. High quality, good price, & durable. Beyond satisfied, highly recommend to anyone looking for a carrier for both airsoft & real world.

The overall quality of the product leaves a lot to be desired. I’ve had a Sentry plate carrier from condor for a few years that is fantastic but I wanted something with side molle. The Gunner plate carrier has practically no structure to it. The cummerbund is floppy and definitely not accepting of the sizes that are advertised. I wear size 34 in most pants and I could barely get the cummerbund attached in the front without letting the back out so much that the straps were showing. The shoulders can’t really be tightened. The whole quick release design in the back makes it bulge out from the material. All of this and I hadn’t even put the plates in yet. I was expecting something slightly less than an IOTV and instead I got something that even someone that plays airsoft would be disappointed in.

As a larger guy, it hard to find gear that fits properly. This carrier fits the bill. Hold the plates still and true. Molle webbing is strong. Good adjustability. Love the quick release tab, armor off in seconds, good if you need medical. Hook and loop panels are sting with good stitching. Padding makes the carrier comfortable when wearing for long periods of time. If considering just buy it, worth the money.

This plate carrier is great! I’m an infantryman in the Pa National Guard and I recently went to annual training in California. I took this plate carrier there and used it for 2 weeks in the field consistently wearing it 10+ hours a day. It’s very strong and lightweight material was perfect for the desert environment we were in. The only downside to this plate carrier that I had was it’s a bit to small for my body but I have wide shoulders and I’m a big dude(6’0 240 lbs). With plates in this vest holds up perfectly and feels very comfortable even after hours wearing it. Buy this plate carrier if your looking for a great priced and very well made product.

This is my first plate carrier and I didn't take the research lightly. I asked around on what a good brand for a carrier would be without breaking the bank on higher end stuff such as ops core. The general consensus was condor. I then compared all of condors carriers side by side deciding what features I could or couldn't live without. I chose the gunner plate because it fits my tactical needs and at a great price. It's quick release is similar to that of a army issued IOTV of anyone is familiar. But not as much of a pain in the ass to reassemble. The adjustments are vast and easy. Since plate technology has come so far I decided to go with out the soft armor option. So for the price you can't beat what this vest has to offer.

This is an excellent Carrier!
Very well made.
Fits/adjust is great!
I'm 6'2", 175 lbs and this carrier adjusts to fit me perfectly.
It is comfortable and really is a great piece of equipment.
With good planning of pouch placement the total weight being carried can be dispersed very well.
The pouches I chose:
Double open top ar mag pouch
2 single pistol mag pouches
2 single ar closed top pouches
Double ak mag pouch
Roll up dump pouch
Many different combinations available to me to set up with depending on if I'm with my AR or AK rifle.
The roll up pouch is a great "anything" pouch and the ar closed top pouches also act as great little "anything" pouches (multi tool, smokes and a lighter, cell phone etc.
I can tumble, roll, climb, crawl
..thick brush, rocky terrain, wetlands....this carrier handles it all and wears well! !
Got mine in carrier in multicam and all my pouches are an assortment of multicam, coyote brown and olive. I am very happy with all of it!
This site was GREAT about getting my order to me! Fast and what I wanted. I'd recommend them to anyone as well as do the same for Condor products. Excellent all around. Happy customer here. Thanks for your time and effort during these strange times of social distancing. Much appreciated!

This is my 2nd Condor Gunner Plate Carrier.

I've had my 1st Gunner Carrier for 5 years and have 2 level III plates in it. I have that 1st Gunner loaded up and run and gun with it (vs. static shooting) with 7 fully loaded AR mags, and 3 fully loaded 20-rd 9mm pistol mags in pouches molle'ed on to the Gunner.

It has held up to me running and gunning in the desert and shooting prone and from my back and I have zero failure points in the Gunner! Even the velcro on the front cummerbund is just as effective as when I first bought it.

I have no doubt this 2nd one will perform any differently with a similar load up.

I had bought another carrier (different brand, different store) that was supposed to fit big guys. I'm not huge at 6' 1" and 210 lbs, but that one barely fit my 18 year old son who is 6' 0" and 160 lbs.

I'm happy to say that the Condor Gunner Plate Carrier fits me well, with lots of room to grow. Hopefully I don't. Very nice, quality piece with a built in front pocket and a quick release pull.

Quick to ship and the transaction was easy. Pleasure to do business with, I will shop here more often.

I only have one suggestion for Condor: please include a "how to size/adjust" sheet (I had to YouTube it) with your carriers. Still, it wasn't difficult to do but would be handy for noobs like me.
