Plate carriers and soft armour

Gordon · August 30th, 2006, 03:21

I'm looking into getting a plate carrier, but it's a bit difficult to tell which ones accept soft armour panels as well as plates. Can anyone offer some advice?

BHI Commando Recon Harness ... plates
BHI Plate Carrier ... that one is self explanatory
HSGI Wasatch ... plates
Paraclete RAV ... plates

Those are the only ones I have experience with.

I believe the CIRAS accomodates soft armor as well as plates, as does BHI's new OTV.

Spear balcs armor - both places and soft armor.

Wow, thanks Farmboy, that really helps. I think the Eagle LE Plate Carrier might be just what I'm looking for. Is it available in multicam? And does the cummerbund accept small plates?
