We start by taking a look at the front panel of the LAPG Atlas plate carrier. The front of the carrier uses a top section with two standard molle sections that has loop over four entire sections. This makes it easy to attach any sort of comms or cellphone holder while also offering a place to put patches or other gear. Below, the entire front is laser cut has a ton of places to place gear. The front of the carrier has a flap that attaches to the rear of the plate to keep it secure.
The rear of the carrier matches the same design by having the top portion in standard molle with hook lined fabric along the top 4 sections. The remainder of the rear panel is fully laser cut and provides a lot of room to connect any gear.
The side cummerbund has two different styles that it includes. It has a minimalistic style that connects with a single band and a clip or it can use the full cummerbund (both included). The full cummerbund connects behind the rear of the plate carrier and offers a lot of adjustment. The Atlas cummerbund also includes sides pockets for 6x6 side plates. The fact that both of these options are included with the LAPG Atlas plate carrier is really a great value.
Looking at the shoulder’s straps, they are easily adjustable and have a clip hidden within the front side of the plate carrier. This allows for both easy adjustment and also allows emergency doffing in the case of an emergency.
We then put the plate carrier through a series of test where we looked at the ease of sizing, the range of sizes, and plate carrier expansion options.
It was simple to adjust the LAPG Atlas plate carrier using the top shoulder straps and the cummerbund adjustments. The Atlas plate carrier was easily adjusted from a full-size male all the way down to a smaller female frame.
Next, we looked at expansion and if the Atlas plate carrier offered any features to allow for attaching rear carriers or front plate placards.
Finally, we finished by testing how the LAPG Atlas plate carrier fared when trying to get a good cheek weld and if it interfered in any way. Then we checked for comfort to make sure nothing poked or prodded you if you were in the prone position.
We have found the LAPG to be an absolutely amazing option with all the features that are included. It offers an amazing option at this price point and would work great for both civilian and duty use.

Always solid reviews and they got the level 4 plates back in stock. Good value!
Great video brother! Thank you for the information and honesty!
Dang! Great video, i will be using your discount code to buy this! Thanks for the code and the video!
I’ve had this plate carrier for more than a year now and I love it. I agree that the little flap is a pain in the neck to tuck in especially if you have the play carrier fitted correctly for your body. But aside from that I love it. I take it out almost every time I go shooting and I’ve taken it to a few classes and it’s held up just fine. If you’re looking for a first time plate carrier I think this should be a o contender.
Great review, if I didn't already have a plate carrier I'd definitely look into this one
Great plate carrier and plates. I think flexible rifle armor is the next thing as it gives your torso a lot more coverage. Plates leave the lower abdomen and lower back wide open.
Again, these reviews just work better than others.
Great video 👍!!
Watching this (again) in excitement ha!
Haha I got it boxed up and I'm hoping to get it out Monday!
Great review. I am a little concerned about the placement of the shoulder strap. Hooking the stock into the carrier just doesn't seem comfortable, but I've never tried it
A solid plate carrier, especially for the price!
1: It’s a laser cut Banshee
2: Does the cummerbund accept the 5.5x13 soft inserts like the banshee does?
They look feature-rich, but I hope it's better built than their Atlas pants. Which, like this plate carrier, were feature-rich. They even fit great. But didn't even last six months of wear one day a week for light duty for my security uniform. I would be interested in seeing how long it lasts.
Just ordered this plate carrier! Just one question though, what was the mag pouch you used at 9:36?
That's just a regular 3 mag placard from Esstac. I think it's the talls. I recommend the mids.
Solid review. Can you clarify which exact AXL placard adapter you used?
The one I used is "AXL ADAPTIVE VEST PLACARD (AVP) FOR CRYE JPC™ & MOLLE CARRIERS" from Haley Strategic.
Hope that helps!
-Walsh
@@ThinLineDefenseCo Thanks, that does indeed help!
Is the AXL front plate adapter the one for $65 or is it the one for $29? I'm a bit confused about what I need to get that setup, but it looks really good--and the AXIS plate carriers are on sale for like $49 + 15% today.
@Joe Flowers…..did you figure out which adapter from AXL? I just got my Atlas carrier & am wondering the same
What's the max size plates does it accomodate? 10x12?
Dang I was wondering if there was a product to add a front placard you always have all the bases covered! Well except for 3mm bits 😂😂
Lol I needed a 3mm for the ATN too...I refuse lol
@@ThinLineDefenseCo 🤦♂️ lol
Haven't seen the Gas Pedal rifle attachment in a long time. Funny.
The Ryker grip? It's actually an awesome tool for veterans and individuals with shoulder injuries to get back into the sport.
It's also a great trainer for proper form. So while you may not know what it is, it's actually really awesome.
-Walsh
@@ThinLineDefenseCo oh damn, I didn’t realize I mixed them up. Good to know, though. Thanks for the reply.
Also, great video content. Keep up the great work.
Hey man, have you ever thought about doing a review on Angel Armors RTC? I just received mine, probably the most comfortable vest I've ever tried one, and not much heavier than my K19 even with the soft armor.
I'd definitely check it out.. but their website is confusing. I don't think it's even available to purchase.
@@ThinLineDefenseCo so, I reached out via their site. Got the quote from a rep, and then their sales rep in my area came to my house and fitted me for my vest. I can probably get you a contact with a sales rep.
@@whiz57 how many sizes do they have that they have to fit me? Seems odd.
@@ThinLineDefenseCo oh no, it's sized specifically to you. And it is adjustable, weight loss/gain isn't a big deal.
@@whiz57 so no one in the team could use it besides me? That's a hard pass.
Could you do the shell back tactical rampage 2.0
I'll add it to the list!
For the la police gear atlas what size do I choose if there is no size in the website
Ummm...there is no size
- Not Jason
To any one watching this the atlas is 89.95 at lapg right now but I don't know how long it will be under 100. 11/11/21
I know this has a bunch of adjustability, but would it fit a 5’11 380 fat guy lol
Can you run a tape messure across the chest of the plate carrier and tell me how with it is please
measure across the chest and.... wait measure across the chest and .... how .... with? wide? width?
@@ThinLineDefenseCo width, sorry i misspelled with instead of wide
link to the axl adapter?
haleystrategic.com/shop/soft-goods/axl-avp-chest-rig-adapter
I got the one off Haley Strategic
this is literally just a shellback banshee with laser cut molle lol
Ahh I've never used a shellback. Good to know!
Yep everyone has their own Shellback knockoffs now and they’re just as lame as the original ones.
What would you recommend?
I have this carrier and that is my biggest issue with it - tucking that stupid front flap!
haha glad I'm not the only one.....Get it tight....well come on. Now it's too tight to attach the flap.
I seriously want to cut it off.
-Walsh
@@ThinLineDefenseCo exactly! I'm glad you showed that adapter as I'm looking at getting the Haley Strategic Micro, so it's good to know I could use it with the Atlas...or I might just treat myself to the Spiritus LV-119.
@@MountainBikeTx sneak peak....next Sunday is a top 3 front plate placards. Look at the HRT Maximus too.
@@ThinLineDefenseCo I'll definitely check it out. Thx!
Is it just me or is this a “upgraded” TAG Banshee plate carrier?
Hey man what colors did you do your gun in
which one? The rifle?
@@ThinLineDefenseCo yes sorry.
Could you review any of the listed
HRT Tactical RAC or HRAC
AR500 Armor Valkyrie or Veritas
Crye Precision JPC
Also review the accessories the individual companies put out for these. (Placards, Back Panels, etc.)
Working on the crye ..they're just slow.
I'll try to get a HRT and AR500. I had a veritas before we started the channel and it was alright.
And copy on the placards and rear Packs! I'll see what I can do
@@ThinLineDefenseCo I appreciate it.
Can I gives this 2 thumbs up
😆😆😆
Is there a way to attach a hrt placard to this carrier?
Yea you can! Just use the itw qasm clips
-Walsh
@@ThinLineDefenseCo after rewatching the video I now see that was a dumb question. I was cooking while watching so missed that part. But for a more legitimate question, could you change the cummerbund for a quick release one? If so which one would you recommend.
@@twosevenactual hmm you could, yes. And I'd say to use the defense mechanisms hybrid... Because we also have a discount code (TLDco)
But in reality... I'd just get the DM mepc if you're going through all that trouble.
-Walsh
@@ThinLineDefenseCo I’m so new to carriers I don’t know them all. The mepc is literally what I’ve been looking endlessly for. Thank you so much.
@@twosevenactual it's stupid modular too. Check out my video on that one too if you didn't already.
-Walsh
Back the blue till they come take your shit right
Who knows, we're military.
TLD7
the clips on my carrier just unsnap with no effort cant even support the weight of the vest
contacted LAPG and they will not even respond to a email
dang, did you get this fixed? Let me know, we can get you squared away and reach out to some of our contacts. That should not be the case.
I've trashed mine and it's just taken a beating.
-Walsh
@@ThinLineDefenseCo they never even replied to many emails
@@ThinLineDefenseCo NOPE -
never heard back from them
Just got it and the system sucks
so, you bought the large carrier and it fit you and a woman
You say large as if there are size options...
@@ThinLineDefenseCo i saw that there were when i last looked ... small and large
@@ThinLineDefenseCo oh, wrong plate carrier.. thx for making me feel like an idiot :)
@@poopz lol just messing with you. The size thing has really gone away on a lot of these carriers. The lv119 and grey ghost SMC also only come in one size. I think the same for my daeodon and HRT RAC.
The crye spc did have an option for size so I won't ding that one on that test.
@@ThinLineDefenseCo i was looking at the condor exo gen 2 which has different sizes but if the atlas has 1 size fits all then what is there to decide about
Great video, but not digging it
The Multicam is pretty wicked looking. For a simple basic setup... It's pretty nice.
