I've handled Mayflower, some damn good kit right there.

I've seen some SKD Pigs and heard decent reports from a lot of people.

I've seen a bunch of Ferro stuff, as for it's function, I can't say personally, though a buddy of mine was far from thrilled when some of the stitching started to give. Not much originality, appears mainly to be mostly copies of other gear. Aesthetically it leaves a lot to be desired in regards to sloppy looking stitching. The items being referenced was purchase about half a year ago I believe, the end result was the items being doused in lighter fuel and thrown in a bonfire :P

The item you want may, or may not, be better


Personally, for a plate carrier, I run a PANTAC CIRAS Land. Not the most high end piece of kit, but it's never caused me any issues and as long as you put in some form of plate, it doesn't look floppy. FAR from low profile though, that's some bulky assaulter shit right there.
That's just my 2 cents
