My agency requires us to wear Oregon City outer vests, this creates a problem when trying to keep your tools in your center line as there is a zipper in the way. With this placard I have been able to put all of my tools in the front of my body including Taser, Radio, handcuffs, extra flashlight, multitool, etc. I have been using it for about 2 shifts so far and I really like it. My only complaints are that I generally hate laser cut molle and that I wish that it was a little more rigid as it collapses in come areas, not horribly, but if I could find a way o would make it a little more rigid. Otherwise I am very satisfied with this product.
