    Just looked them up there and that is a Eagle Industries scalable plate carrier, they are quite expensive in fact very expensive when you see how much they are on ebay.

    A very good alternative to this and cheaper option would be something by WARRIOR ASSAULT SYSTEMS sold here on http://www.uktactical.com.

    These are real world chest rigs and plate carriers at a great price considering the quality of them, cant recommend these enough and any person that owns anything made by WARRIOR will tell you the same.

    +1 on UK-Tactical's customer service.
    +1 on WAS kit.

    I can't speak for the WAS plate carriers, but anything that I own that is made by Warrior is well capable of taking dogs abuse and looking for more. Yes you can buy cheaper stuff from ebay-banned or the like but it'll probably fall apart as soon as you look at it, so its very much a case of getting what you pay for.

    If you're new to airsoft but think you'll stay a while, the WAS stuff is excellent quality and will be more an investment than a purchase given how long it will serve you. And it has good resale prospects too with other airsofters.

    Be warned though: the price of spec'ing out a full rig - be it plate, vest, or belt quickly adds up into triple digit figures.
