- The NEW "Tactical Comparison" Segment will feature an in-depth comparison between the "high end" or "Gucci" gear (from popular tactical gear manufacturers) versus the "Budget" or "airsoft" counterparts (generally sold from Amazon or other clone manufacturing companies).
This in-depth comparison will attempt to cover everything from the similarities to the differences as well as showcase the price points of both items to determine if indeed it is true that the more something costs the better quality it is.

I have the Krydex version of the Haley chest rig and I’m super impressed with the quality. Of course I don’t have the Haley to compare.
That's awesome! I absolutely agree! Krydex does indeed make some great clone gear! Thanks for the comment!
These two plate carriers are exactly the same from the research that I’ve been doing. I’m going to get the keyed plate carrier with Haley pouches. I think that the plate carrier is definitely well made as long as you put good plate I’m sure the kryex carrier will hold up just as well as the Ferro concept carrier
Thanks for the comment! Absolutely spot on! I'm glad you did your own personal research to come to the same conclusion I did with mine. That's all I could ever ask for those people who assume that something "budget friendly" is a "worse quality". Obviously there are some examples of bad budget gear, but the Krydex carrier is no such example.
Thanks again for the comment!
Hell yeah! There’s so many knock off products on Amazon and so few reviews! Lots of potential views out there!!
For sure!!! So much potential!!
Was searching reddit and everything for that, and I just found you, thank you !!!❤😊
Thanks for the comment and support! I'm glad my content was helpful!!
Amazing, thanks.
I would like to ask if you have some tips concerning backpack to add .
Thanks in advance
Thanks for the comment and kind words!
Because the Slickster and Krydex Low Viz Slick Plate Carrier both have no MOLLE attachment points on the back plate bags you gotta be a bit crafty when it comes to attaching a backpack
Here is what I did to add a backpack. Hope this helps
I have top-wide plates. American sapi's top width is around 5" meanwhile my plates are 7" wide at the top. I have one pair 3+ ceramic and one pair 3 lightweight pe plates like this so Ihave seen in the video that these plate carriers have some empty space around the top corners while your plate was inside. Do you think there is enough room at the corners like 1" per corner?
Thanks for the comment! My Ferro Concepts Slickster plate bags are "large" while the KRYDEX Low Viz plate bags are a medium. Ferro recommends Large SAPI, ESAPI AND SWIMMER PLATES up to 10.5"x 13.5"x 1".
The space you see in the top corner of the Ferro is because the foam filler plates are medium size so they are smaller than the bags and therefore the space.
I am likely going to get Hesco 4400 Large ( 10.25x 13.25 ) Level 4 plates for this Loadout. As it pertains to your plates I would assume you should have the clearance you need but honestly I'm not 100% certain as I myself am still learning about plate dimensions and how they relate to specific plate bags.
I hope this helps.
Can the front buckles be removed?
Thanks for the comment! I assume you are referring to the quick clasps or Swift clips? If so then yes they can be removed. The Ferro Concepts Slickster comes without swift clips (You have to add them yourself). The Krydex PC comes with their quick clasps but they can be removed.
Kydex or Krydex? Can’t find either on Amazon 😩
Thanks for pointing that out! It's Krydex!
Here is the link for their page

I think they are out of stock at Amazon currently
@@TacticalNewbie101 you are the man!
Looks similar to the TRex Arms AC1.
I think the T-Rex Arms AC1 kinda took some liberties from the Ferro Concepts Slickster. Thanks for the comment!!
