It's a great Plate carrier !
I'm actually using the 204 tactical FAPC, but it's basicly the same.
it's not as lite as a tacticcal vest but it's definetly not as builky as a ciras or a RAV. Specialy if your using singel mag pouches.
I worn it over 12 skirmish, games, and milsim and i must say it did protect me from some bloody hit. in CQB it's a deram to wear (protection and mouvement)
I have to say that it get sometimes heavy but never inconfortable.
Here's what i'm brigning
8 to 12 mags (depending if i use the m4 or the mp5)
flashlight
2 pistol mags
water bladder
utility pouche
The look is still pretty unique.
Here's some pics
