A plate carrier is designed to protect your vital organs, not your whole torso. 

 

The front plate (bag) should sit two finger widths below the collarbone; use the shoulder straps to adjust the rear plate (bag) so it is in line with front, and not sagging lower on your back.

How bigs fairly big? I’m a big guy, 6ft4 and fluctuate between 20-21st so I know how it is. I found the condor exo plate carrier fits well but since buying it found chest rigs loads better

Taiwan Gun now sell plate carriers for bigger built players , just because someone’s a big lumbering ox of a guy why shouldn’t he get to have the Gucci kit as well ? 👍

Unfortunately pc's aren't always flattering to the larger chap, too much belly below the pc is not a good look, chest rigs worn lower look way better, are generally more comfortable & less likely to cause you to overheat.

Do you guys not just roast inside these? I just wear a long sleeve t shirt and get sweaty

 

Probably, I don't wear one. I sweat like a paedophile in Mothercare at the best of times!
