As a retired Army Special Ops soldier, I’ve worn and used several different types of body armor and plate carriers. That being said, as a now civilian, the Qore Performance plate carrier is, by far, my favorite of any I’ve used. Having had mine for almost three years, the weight, functionality, and comfort of this plate carrier is vastly superior to all others.
yo were you a ranger, Civil affairs, Psyops or Green berets. You didn't specify when you said special ops, I'm saying your stealing valor I'm asking out of curiousity
Love how you openly say that you don't just want to sell your own carriers but take an honest look at the competition. But a technical overwiew of your own carrier would be cool as a point of comparison.
Thanks - glad you found the video helpful! Some quick notes for context: 1. Our company exists to help freedom-loving people to realize their full potential in everything they do. We do this using thermoregulation to enhance performance and survivability in the field. As such, even though we do make a plate carrier, we don’t consider any of the other companies in our videos to be “competition” since they are really in the tactical gear/pouch business and we do performance enhancement for a wide variety of end-users with Military being just one component. Our Enterprise Safety business is actually the larger of the two business lines. We exist to help everybody else get the most out of their PPE system (plate carrier, safety vest, etc.), no matter who makes it. Our goal with these videos is more to help individuals and teams build an objective analytical framework for their purchasing/procurement decisions. 2. We put ICEPLATE EXO® through all of the same exact testing that we put each of the other plate carriers through in this video and our 2023 Best Plate Carriers video. You can find all of those test results in the INSIGHTS article with all of the data tables in the show notes above or by clicking here: www.qoreperformance.com/blogs/military-insights/the-best-plate-carriers-of-2024?_pos=1&_sid=3ed5fcdf5&_ss=r 3. Even with us publishing all of the data, would y’all like to see us do a dedicated Technical Review video for ICEPLATE EXO® using our standardized empirical format? If so, we can do that, just let us know here in the comments! We hope this helps, but please let us know if you have any additional questions. #StayFrosty
I think it's always interesting to hear about spec from the manufacturer/designer, so it would be wonderful to have a dedicated video to your ICEPLATE EXO. Loved the vid and your company!@@QorePerformanceUSA
I've watched Travis Haley since I was a very young man and I consider him an American hero and patriot. I fully support his company and products. I think his Jack Carbine is one of the finest combat carbines of the AR line up till this day.
Agreed, I have 2, one for work, the other is my personal primary loadbearing kit. My Firstspear AAC V2 comes in 2nd as it is similar, but lacks a few features that come standard on the SC ARC V2, and actually costs more than my ARC V2s
Please please please adjust your music volume in the shooting cuts, I have to adjust the volume up and down every time the music comes in and back up when the narration starts
This might be asking for a bit, but would it be possible to do a Best Foreign (Non-US made) Plate Carriers List? It’s a list that doesn’t exist anywhere. I would be interested in seeing how Agilite would stack up to NFM Group or Marom Dolphin.
I watched the Best of 2023 video before this one came out last year and I criticized the overuse of Crye Precision's products and others as well as criticizing the criteria used as it was not accurately representative of the market for citizens. I'm surprised to see that there were no Crye products at all honestly. I am going to ask/request for a video talking about Laser Cut MOLLE vs Traditional MOLLE vs Velcro. Mainly looking for the pros and cons in both. I personally find the Laser Cut MOLLE is worse overall despite it supposedly being cheaper to produce since it cannot be field repaired at all and the webbing itself feels weaker in comparison to Traditional MOLLE webbing.
I've acquired and used quite a few carriers over the years, my three most utilized currently are my Firstspear AAC V2, as well as my two Shaw Concepts ARC V2s (one for work in uniform color black, the other being my current personal primary loadbearing pc in wolf gray.) As similar i find the FS AAC V2 and SC ARC V2 to be, i have to give the edge to the Shaw Concepts ARC V2 due to being slightly more comfortable with the hook and loop attached interior plate pads, the superior plate retention method in the spider system, the more standard accessory mounting methods and options in addition to solely lasercut molle and FS tubes as is on my AAC V2, and the slightly cheaper base price that a complete carrier comes to out the door. That being said, the reason I like my SC ARC V2s so much is primarily due to how similar they are to my FS AAC V2, they just have a few more bells and whistles that come standard, and at a cheaper price.
You have a fact wrong at 13:20, the Agilite K-Zero CAN use Firstspear Tubes. They literally sell them on the same product page as an attachment option for the K-Zero.
You have wrong info for Agilite K-Zero, based on official website K-Zero plate bags will fit all plate cuts including: SAPI, ESAPI, Shooters Cut and Swimmers Cut
I don’t have much experience with many carriers other than cheap ones like Armor Republic. The newest Safelife concealed interests me. However, I do really like the HRT LBAC.
I have the Firstspear AAC V2, it is an awesome carrier. It was my personal primary pc for almost 2 years, however, I also have two Shaw Concepts ARC V2s (one for work in uniform color black, the other as my personal primary in wolf gray), and I have to give a slight edge to the ARC over the AAC for comfort and a slightly cheaper base price, but they are extremely similar. That being said, my loadout accessories are a mixture between both Firstspear and Shaw Concepts.
The ir reflection would be an important point. I also missed the Zentauron Vulcan III. I run it since two years and i am very satisfied. Now looking for a new one for my stonegrey loadout. Comfort, no irr, heat transmission and big size are important. Should have many options like molle, velcro and maybe more. Also need an adaptive daypack for it. Maybe with YKK
Nylon handles IR and we are unaware of a plate carrier on the market today that doesn’t have nylon on the outside. But, we can incorporate it into future videos if y’all would like to see what the various carriers look like under NV and Thermal?
@@QorePerformanceUSA thats an absolute important Point. Look at the Agilite Gear review when they film through NVG the Packpack and the Plate Carrier is in the Background. Its Festival lightning. The Zentauron Platecarriers and the ufpro Gear stays in Nightvision nearly invisible
I think they had a "recency" cut off for this, a few other PC came out in the last two months, kinda like the MMA fight of the year awards is only 8 months out of a year.

The plateminus is far from perfect. Out of the box, the cummerbund requires a lot of flexibility to reach the elastic and secure it. Watch the demo video done at shotshow when it debuted with Pressburg. The shoulder straps lack adjustment for sloped traps. I also find the front pocket useless and annoying to open, because I need two hands to do it. Some other niggles as well.
@@smashedhulk8492 The material conforms to the shape of your traps just like every other carrier that has thin straps. Speaking of which, I also have an SPC. So, both carriers I haven't had a single issue with. Side note; any admin pouch on a carrier that is Velcro secured requires two hands. I'm sure if you measure it, you can get a zipper insert for it.
Shaw Concepts all day long, if price isn't an issue. Stock availability and communications are lacking, however, I find he product to be superior enough to invest in more than one plate carrier.
Out of curiosity, the thermal transmittance data for the AC V2 was the only one that had a range that put it from 2nd worse to best. Was wondering how that was obtained as I assume it was done multiple times and you're presenting the range but the others didn't have a range of inputs either. just curious :)
T.Rex Arms AC1 Thermal Transmittance is 28 degrees F as displayed on our data tables: www.qoreperformance.com/blogs/military-insights/the-best-plate-carriers-of-2024
The variance in the Thermal Transmittance numbers for the ARC V2 come from location and with or without the spacer mesh pontoons. We detail this in the Tech Overview video we did on the ARC V2 and we provide the science behind why the spacer mesh performs the way it does in this other INSIGHTS article. Both links are below.

I have a K19, I used it for work for less than a year before springing for a Firstspear AAC V2 (since switched to a Shaw ARC V2) due to the complete lack of integrated cable management. I literally had to clip my PTT to the shirt I was wearing under the carrier, which was unacceptable. It is comfortable though, I'll give it that, and I like the plate retention straps in the plate bags as well.
Not criticizing your substance, just your presentation... Your vocalization volume is turned down, while your shooting volume is turned up. This forces your audience to turn up there own volume to hear your explanations, then shit themselves when the shooting begins, and consequently turn their volume down, only to find your quiet explanations begin again. I pity the poor bastards wearing headsets, never mind those watching your video while their house is asleep. In short, your presentation is assholio. Reverse the volume settings.
100% fair and accurate critique. We have a new Videographer now who has largely fixed this problem, but we're always looking to get better so we appreciate it!
No thanks, I do not like laser cut and I am completely baffled why you all do not wear side plates for some unbeknownst reason. You know how many Ukrainian troops have eaten a bullet to the side because they failed to wear a side plate? Iraq isn't shit in comparison to trench and urban warfare especially with no air support and being constantly bombarded with artillery day and night. No Apaches to fly in, no A10s cluster bombing enemy positions - nothing. You know how many fragmentation injuries there are for not having stuff like ballistic eye gear and not wearing that fucking side plate? I am still partial to the 6094 cause its a no-nonsense PC and its durable. Don't need all this fancy shit.

No Apaches to fly in, no A10s cluster bombing enemy positions - nothing. You know how many fragmentation injuries there are for not having stuff like ballistic eye gear and not wearing that fucking side plate? I am still partial to the 6094 cause its a no-nonsense PC and its durable. Don't need all this fancy shit.
