I've used the SKD PIG for years. It is very well built and accommodates all major styles, shapes, and contour of plates. They offer MOLLE or elastic cummerbunds. For the sake of longevity *if* this is being donned and doffed several times a day, perhaps a cummerbund kit with SPEAR tubes would be best, as velcro, in this case real velcro, doesn't last forever. SKD is a good American company, run by good people, and I'm very happy with this product and their customer service. I always look there first.
I'm 6'3 and currently for work I wear the K19. Compared to my old vest a Safe Life Defense. I feel almost naked in it. The K19 does have Level 4 plates in it which gave me a higher rating. However, because of how tall I am it just feels small. Portions of my body that where covered by my old vest are not covered with the K19. Yes, there is a zipper pouch on top of the carrier but with plates in its useless. Now the K19 is very comfortable. I carry everything that my old vest did, and heavier plates and it still feels lighter than my old one. But my sides are completely exposed. My Safe Life had Level 3+ and Stab rated for my sides. The K19 I've had to order the side pouches and armor. During a foot chase though in the K19 is amazing. It feels way better to run with than the safe life. I only got a years use out of my Safe life before the molle started to rip apart to where it was unserviceable. The K19 so far has held up to the constant rubbing of a duty belt and getting in and out. Its good for military use... in a desert.... not in law enforcement. Our SWAT team has switched to TacticalXmen from the K19.
So then what do you recommend for us bigger guys I’m 6,0 300 pounds I’m not obese or anything close to that I carry myself well and I can honestly say I have little to no gut sticking out I’m just super wide and bulky I have a hard time finding any plate carrier that fits me and I constantly outgrow them now that I’m 18 hopefully I won’t keep growing alot I’ve owned a lot of carriers and they always end up being too small what do you recommend?
You can buy side plates for the K19, Agilite sells the sleeves to add to the cumberbund. You may need to find a carrier that takes 11X14 plates if you’re tall in the torso, which the K19 won’t hold. There are videos on UA-cam or write ups online that go over how to measure for plates. I’m right on the edge of needing bigger than the K-Zero holds but just fit under, I will say, it feels small but according to what I read, it’s sized correctly and it sits correctly on my torso.
I would go for the 3 rated "Splitterschutz" of the german army. Or maybe the 4 Rating Bristol. I cherish protection over movement. But I was a tank gunner, what am I to say.
First option isn't even a plate carrier its a load bearing vest incapable of housing plates. From personal experience if you want something cheap yet good quality go with a condor mopc or sentry they run about 70 to 120$ depending if you get multicam or not they hold 10x12 or large esapi size plates. For something expensive get something like a crye jpc or a more custom vest like beez combat sentry plate carrier or their aptium
Here’s a pretty good question for trauma pads. Could you substitute soft body armor under steel body armor? That way you have the best kind of protection you can get
Yes, in the military that is how we issue our rigs. Not sure if it’s level 3. But we do have soft body armor under outplayed to fill the holes that plates leave.
It's better than all the carriers on this list (I've got their LBAC). HRT also used to be a company only meant for training people made of veterans and law enforcement personnel. Meaning they made proper considerations in mobility and protection. I'm currently in service in the corps, and the LBAC is 100% better than the gen 2 carrier I was issued.
So you're judging the video because the products are sold on Amazon? No wonder you can't shoot anything other than your load onto a sock for your mom to clean with your laundry... Ya can't have your nose in the air like that, brosephine. Make sure you dont buy any product from Leopold, eotech, trijicon, surefire, etc etc since they've all stooped to the level of reaching the world's largest consumer base
@@jujitzujesus Yes, I judged the video when the first product this video recommended is an airsoft vest, not even a plate carrier. Great slew of unrelated insults btw lol.
Putting Agilite as Number one shows how terrible you are as a source. They are not nir compatible and shines like a neon sign under nightvision. A joke brand and having them as number one makes you a joke.
5 point eleven .... Bro its just 5 eleven .. So cringe . You expect somebody to take advice from you who posted one not even a plate carrier and two can't even pronounce 5.11 correctly.. Im good ✌️

the K19 is a REALLY good Platecarrier. I dont know man
@@ryanssten731 or do you mean the weird Vest?
Bruh there's no comparison between that shit of vest and the condor mopc
Shit can’t even hold any plates 🤣🤣😭😭

@@Gmt800_illinoisan I really like the JPC. It fits well and is more proportional.

I use the Shellback Tactical Banshee 2.0 plate carrier in OCP. I don't feel the need to change. I love that thing.
The banshee is garbage! It’s impossible to comfortably shoulder a weapon with that huge buckle on the front shoulder
@@TheDboy82 I don't see a shoulder buckle on the Banshee Elite 3.0
Are side plates overrated or something?
NOT a good start when a VEST (from amazon) pops up in a vid titled PLATE carriers!
I would go for the 3 rated "Splitterschutz" of the german army.
Or maybe the 4 Rating Bristol.
I cherish protection over movement. But I was a tank gunner, what am I to say.
I’ve had a MOPC for years. The elastin the cummerbund finally crapped out. Right now I’m trying the Shellback SF.
Try both the Agilete Key Zero vest and the Maraom Dolphin multi-task vest 8:51
What about Qore performance plate carriers?

To anyone, what is your opinion on the HRT tactical plate carrier?
It's better than all the carriers on this list (I've got their LBAC). HRT also used to be a company only meant for training people made of veterans and law enforcement personnel. Meaning they made proper considerations in mobility and protection. I'm currently in service in the corps, and the LBAC is 100% better than the gen 2 carrier I was issued.
Did... they call a cross draw vest a plate carrier?
What's the vest in the thumbnail
Agilite K-0
I love the agilite k19
Saw Amazon and clicked off
My exact thought. Real shame UA-cam got rid of dislikes, I’d love to see the ratio

I made it until he said "Five point Eleven" and then I clicked off.. smh
@@jujitzujesushahaha facts
Check out the Battle Elite Plate Carrier at LTDefense. I have AR600 plates in mine and it is very comfortable even with 13 pounds of steel.
Don't listen to this guy if you are in the market for plate carriers. Just go with HRT; yes, they are pricey but pricey for a good reason.
I don’t care about price so I’ll check that out.
Matbock….period. Your new number 1
You can't put plates in a zip up vest
Option 1 is junk, zipper opens up in the middle and fits very small
Dude, the Gloryfire can’t even be considered a platecarrier… And where FT is the FCPC or the LV119??
You lost me at best plate carrier for Airsoft
where can I find vest for 4 to 8 mags?
Either get a chest rig or MOLLE magazine pouches.
I ordered from AR500
Best lt's first spear
amazon vest might as well be TEMU
I like my trex arms carrier
This is not the top 5 vests. The first 2 or 3 are airsoft gear. And most or all of them glow like neon signs under infrared light and night vision.
Great video! Thank you
As soon as he started talkin about paintball I’m like fuck this guys review opinions lol
2 yesr old video but title says 2024???😂😂 Stop scamming bro
Saw one Tigris in the description before the video loaded...
Immediately clicked off
Literally worst top 5 ever created.
Lost all trust once I saw amazon 🤣
UM 5 ISNT A PLATE CARRIER AT ALL LOL.
Putting Agilite as Number one shows how terrible you are as a source. They are not nir compatible and shines like a neon sign under nightvision. A joke brand and having them as number one makes you a joke.
I have heard numerous people say really really good things about them. What is the problem when you have a damn curious
don't spread a shit please.....K19 seriously don't glow under NG like a neon 🙄
Only Warrior assault sustems!! Остальное дерьмо..
If you think crye is crap then I think you need to have a rethink 😂😂
interesting.....
5 point eleven .... Bro its just 5 eleven .. So cringe . You expect somebody to take advice from you who posted one not even a plate carrier and two can't even pronounce 5.11 correctly.. Im good ✌️
