I’d say the rigidity is on par with a PC that doesn’t have any plates. It’s honestly a FANTASTIC vest, though the $400 price tag people want for them now is not ideal. I was lucky and got this one for $220.

The thing is LITTERED with pockets, to an insane degree that you wouldn’t even realize - it’s this layering of pockets that helps lend it some rigidity. It’s mean to be worn over a Crye combat shirt, to cover up that thin cotton section of the torso. Because of this, you’re ment to wear it tight and form fitting to the body. The back also has a pocket for a camelback bladder. Suffice to say, I’ll probably get a second one some day.

Shame the black ones were only made for the costume department on Transformers.
