Absolutely fantastic plates. Use and abuse them on the daily and still look brand new. From a value standpoint. Fringe has identically made plates without the color that are cheaper but no regrets cause I love the design.
Overall great weight vest. Fit is great and the Velcro has been solid. Plate storage is very secure.
The one problem I have with it compared to my friend’s actual military vest is there is no elasticity in the waist strap which inhibits breathing. Which is something I like to do when I’m working out. I’ve gotten used to now but that’s my one complaint.
I’ve got the cerakote green. For me it’s the perfect bar for cross fit and Olympic style lifting.
Knurling is more aggressive than a Rogue Ohio bar so I don’t feel the need to constantly chalk up.
Very smooth consistent spin. Tolerances are super tight and bar is very quiet.
If I was just doing the squat dead and bench I’d get a power bar which this is not.
