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.

Flyye also make good quality copies of this vest

The Warrior stuff does look like what Im after, decent looking rig. The price is pretty resonable.
