Personally the OE tech plate carrier is better. The pantac has build in mag pouches which limits what you can put on it and what mags can fit in those pouches.

OE tech won't last as long but it's airsoft and not war so it is a much better buy.
Also you get more pouches with the OE tech.

Get the Pantac one. I have that OE tech/Condor PC and it's good, but not as good of quality as Pantac. Plus, the Weesatch (Pantac) has built in mag pouches, so it saves you money from having to buy those.

You... are aware that it has universal pouches... right? You can hold AK, Sig, G36, and STANAGs in those. Or at least you can in the HSGI Weesatch, and, seeing as Pantac pays at least some attention to detail I'm sure they got that part right. Ask Milwe, he uses Sig mags with his, and it seems to work.

Honestly, Condor, or dubbed OE Tech by retarded ASGI, will last, but it won't last nearly as long, nor will it withstand the abuse a good rig takes. Get the Weesatch (yet again, ASGI dubbed "MPS") carrier, and you'll be set. Plus, I mean, you can always put pouches over mag pouches, a lot of people do that. The whole idea that "Oh, since it's airsoft, it means we shouldn't have nice things." isn't a good argument for saying that Condor is better because, in all honesty, it's not. Nor will, unless some serious changes are made, it ever be.

Also what Blitz said, having built in pouches will save you a LOT of money, for reals!

Good luck on your carrier!

I have a Condor MOLLE vest, but would much prefer the Pantac. They build better stuff, and the built in pouches will

save you a LOT of money, for reals!

And apparently they fit tons of magazines.

I own the Condor Weesatch, and for what it is I like it. The thing is, I don't play NEARLY as much as I would like, so my plate carriers/vests don't need to be nuke proof. However, if you were going to play more than say once every two months (Hell, I played twice just last year) I would go with Pantac. I've handled some of their stuff (mostly pouches and a bag) and it is really, really nice.

get the weesatch, you can fit at least 3 mags in each pouch and still be able to velcro ( if you choose to keep the straps in) them down because they can be pulled out and readjusted for the amount of mags you keep in each pouch. i also run the pantac weesatch and it hasnt let me down yet. ive done baseball slides and fallen hard on mine plenty of times and theres no scratch to be seen, obviously i got a few strands of threads hanging out here and there cause of the abuse it takes but no holes/rips what so ever.

[pseudoanimosity]

I have that Pantac vest, it's pretty good. Would I buy it again? You bet. Just remember: It's not a full size, so you won't be able to fit everything and a bag of chips on it to carry into the field.

I recommend the pantac because i own pantac gear myself and it has held up better then my UTG tac vest AND my condor gear.

[Unicorn]

I stand corrected. The pantac vest is better.

[shakespeare]

I recommend pantac wholeheartedly.
They last far far better than condor does.

[Mr. Technicality]

Boy, this topic looks beaten to death. That's my cue to stop lurking and reiterate what everyone else has already said. As an owner of both a Pantac rig and a lesser-quality rig, I can say with confidence that the Pantac rig will last through nearly anything. Lesser-quality gear generally lasts through a year of my special brand of abuse. My Pantac rig takes every bit of abuse I throw at it with grace. It's coming up on its 1-year birthday and I can see it lasting me for many years to come.

[Regular Guy]

If you have the monies I would recommend getting HSGI Weesatch. But if you're on a budget, Pantac or Condor or Flyee would do the same job.
