Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this plate carrier come with armor plates? A: No. This is the carrier only—armor plates are sold separately. It fits medium or large Swimmer, SAPI, or ESAPI cut plates up to 10"x13".
Q: What size plates does this fit? A: The plate pockets accommodate plates up to 10"x13". Standard 10"x12" plates will fit but may need a spacer or foam insert to prevent shifting.
Q: How much does the carrier weigh? A: Just 1.2 lbs empty. This is one of the lightest plate carriers on the market, making it ideal for training or extended wear.
Q: What's the difference between Regular and 2XL/3XL? A: Regular fits most adults. The 2XL/3XL size offers a larger cummerbund and extended shoulder straps for bigger builds. Both sizes accept the same plate dimensions.
Q: Can I attach pouches to this carrier? A: Yes. Full MOLLE webbing on the front, back, and cummerbund lets you attach mag pouches, IFAK, radio pouches, and other accessories.
Q: Is this good for an active shooter kit? A: Yes. The lightweight design and quick-adjust straps make it ideal for a "grab and go" active shooter response kit that can be stored in a bag until needed.
Q: Will this work with soft armor panels? A: Yes. You can run soft armor inserts or hard plates depending on your protection needs.
