Mine has not rolled as others have. Mine is also very thin and lightweight. Wear it everyday...would not be my first choice, but it is holding up alright.

Well mine has also started to roll up in the front. The other thing I dont like is when you remove the panels to wash the carrier, they never seem to fit quite right when you put it in the spare carrier.It was very stiff and uncomfortable when I first started wearing it. It felt like two pieces of plywood wrapped around my body, but once it got broke in, it was better. I have replaced the soft trauma plate with an Impac ST. I like the fact that the carrier will support the larger trauma plate, too.

I bought my Matrix Level IIIA vest about two months ago, and LOVE the way it fits, and feels, It is very comfortable to waar for 10.5 hours a day. My only complaint is that I would have prefered the openings to be accross the bottom like the older Zero-G models. I have both hard and soft trauma plates in the vest now, but I intend on getting the IMPAC-st soon.

I really can't give too much insight into this body armor, it's better then the junk I was issued elsewhere but I can tell you the one I've been issued as of this moment is not for someone my size and stature. It is not very comfortable for me, Hopefully when I get one that fits I can update my opinion as I've heard others remark about how comfortably they fit, i hope it's true!

I agree with most people. This vest is a little thinner than some others that are out there, but it is still very bulky. It is very hot during the summer! But, mine has not rolled yet though.... We will see as time goes on.

This is the third brand of vest I have ever worn in my career, My biggest complaint about this vest is the straps, It has single straps on each side and they tend to roll up after a couple months of use, thus making the vest uncomfortable because of constantly having to adjust it and fix the straps during the shift from getting in and out of the car, and carrying out the duties of the job. If it wasn't for how the carrier was made, i may like this vest,

Alright so far so good I haven't had to test the ballistic rating on the vest which I might add is a good thing! But now for the bad part, I do have to say the construction of the vest leaves something to be desired. My ballistic panel in the front has rolled up and the velcro straps that secure in the front have also started to roll and come loose with the least amount of movement.

Good vest. Lighter than my last. Gold series IIIa, easy to maintain and clean.

This is the lightest vest I have ever worn. Very comfortable, very flexible and easy to move in. My only complaint is it bunches a bit where the vest rests on duty belt equipment.
