It’s actually smaller than a “10x12” it’s actually 10x11”11/16. I don’t like lies if you lied about the size, are they actually level 3+??? I’m not sure, I prefer 11x14 plates but you don’t have any. Increase the price if you have to just don’t lie to the people to cut corners, it’s bad karma.
Yes, the plates are Level III+ in the sense that they exceed traditional Level III performance standards. More specifically, they are RF1 plates and surpass the legacy Level III testing requirements.
Regarding the size, you alleged that we “lied” by providing plates measuring approximately 10” x 11 11/16” rather than exactly 10” x 12”. That is not an accurate characterization. Within the armor industry, “10x12” is a standard size category, not a guarantee of exact physical dimensions. Manufacturers commonly refer to this as a 'nominal' size or 'in name only' size.
Body armor plates are manufactured with acceptable tolerances for both weight and dimensions. Additionally, factors such as the plate cut (Shooter’s Cut, SAPI Cut, Swimmer Cut, etc.) and multi-curve shaping can affect the final measurements. As a result, a plate marketed as a 10x12 plate may not measure exactly 10.00” x 12.00” in every dimension.
This is similar to how armor plates are often described as having a nominal thickness of 1 inch. The actual thickness may vary slightly depending on the materials, construction method, and curvature of the plate. This is not a misrepresentation or a shortcut in manufacturing; it is simply the standard convention used throughout the armor industry.
That said, we appreciate the feedback and will take it into consideration as we continue improving our product descriptions. Providing additional dimensional details may help avoid confusion for customers seeking exact measurements.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Thank you,
Calvin
Needs more shoulder padding. I'm not sure if I have the option for side plates, but if I don't thatbwould be a nice addition as well.
Hey Jesse, thanks for the review! We will be releasing side-plate compatible cummerbunds later this year and will try to remember to tag you about it. As for the shoulder padding, noted, we'll see if there's room for improvement without compromising durability or over-engineering. Thanks!
This plate carrier has great craftsmanship! It is very adjustable as I am a very small framed male. 5’3 130lbs and I was able to get it to fit. Absolutely worth it! Love it! Amazing customer service with help and helpful information. Great people and products!
This tactical vest is loaded with velcro options. The sizing is exactly what was expected as well. The cool factor of it also shows with how well everything is designed, and the quality is top notch. It's not very heavy so that helps as equipment might add on a bit. It is adjustable as it has lots of areas that can be adjusted. This is a good value and would make a great gift to the tactical person in your life.
Nice quality materials and design for light duty use. Great for training and practice. Has provisions/space for carrying plates. Comes with multiple inserts, quick detach cummerbunds, padded straps, and quick release buckles.n Good adjustments for fit. Nice laser cut panels. Overall a good value for the money.
My favorite part of this vest if the quick release clips. I tested how to most efficiently put on and take off the vest using the quick release clips and I am impressed by how smooth they are. I mostly got this vest for fun but the practical qualities are a huge bonus. As a 5'5" female, about 145 lbs, the medium fits very well. It's surprisingly comfortable. The quality of the velcro and hardware is awesome. I would say that it is very durable and well worth the cost. I also love the adjustable modular compartments and that the velcro allows for space to stick patches on the vest for extra customization.
Great build quality and very comfy with my plates in there. I've been training and working out in it for about a month now & no complaints!
Overall this is a very well designed and well made tactical vest. Coyote brown color is consistent with most major vendor color hues (sometimes the cheap stuff is waaaay off and looks funny). Velcro, zippers, buckles, etc are strong. I purchased a couple add-ons for the back and they zipped on perfectly (gear was from Krydex and Idogear). I'm around 5'10', 165 lbs with a semi athletic chest/back and this fits well. Going to be using it primarily for the range, doing tactical drills/scenarios/reloads, etc, which I think it will work quite well.
This plate carrier is made of durable nylon that is light for what it is. The quick-release buckles on the top and on the cummerbund function well, and all of the pockets included make this a very effective platform for several systems. The plate pockets are on the smaller side, so check your plates before purchase. The stitching is good as is the construction quality.I have about 15 different plate carriers at home, and most are airsoft junk that someone tried to pass off as the real thing. In this case, it is the real thing and can handle the weight, wear, and tear.I could go on, but you get it; this is a good choice for a plates only loadout so long as the plates fit.
This is a very well designed tactical vest. The padding is nice and thick for comfort and though I can’t imagine why you might do it, they are also removable. I have a fairly small frame and this fit me well without being too loose though I am below the 32” waist suggested size.It uses heavy velcro straps for adjusting to your waist, which allows them to hold a considerable weight, though the main system is securely fastened to the vest with buckles. The buckles for the shoulders are of particularly good quality. The specifically sized modular straps for magazines are also useful in providing a sleeker look to the velcro.
As a Professional Marksman and Competition Firearms Team Member as well as an Avid Hunter I obviously work with a Wide Variety of Tactical Gear including Tactical Bullet Proof Modular Vests! This particular beat from Invictus Templar is probably one of the best that I've seen out on the market!First of all just to get things clarified about this particular modular tactical vest it is actually made better than the one my buddy in the police department uses! That's how great this vest is!When you receive this vest it does come in six different parts! There's the front of the vest, the back of the vest, right side cumberbund, left side cumberbund, a mole pouch or magazine holder and a velcro tourniquet holder! All pieces are assembled via Velcro and everything comes together very nicely!The main material used for the vest is Cordura which is an absolutely rugged and fantastic material for any tactical vest! It's weatherproof and stands up to the toughest conditions out in the field!Another great feature about this vest is that it contains a Velcro Bulletproof Plate rest on the chest as well as the back! Therefore you can order bulletproof plates such as that made by Invictus Templar's AR600 Level III+ Steel Core Armor Rifle Plates which conveniently comes as a two pack which allows you to slip one in the front as well as the back!I also wanted to point out that this particular vest has full mole capabilities and expansion! It is pretty much sky is the limit when it comes to this tactical vest because you can keep on adding on whatever you need for your Tactical mission! The material as well as hinging and all of the straps that are included with this particular vest is a plus quality!Also another great feature about this vest is that it includes four adjustable pads! There are two pads for the front and two pads for the back! The material is moisture wicking and definitely helpful especially when you are putting a steel plate in the front and a steel plate in the back for bulletproofing! It definitely makes the best more comfortable, breathable and most importantly protective!Another thing which I love about this tactical vest is the included velcro Invictus Templar American flag Patch!! I absolutely love the fact that they include this with this particular tactical vest and it looks fantastic!Anyhow, based on my review I am super satisfied with this Tactical vest! Based on my review and my knowledge of other tactical vests that are out there this is definitely top-notch and I given an A+ as well as five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Upon receiving(fast and efficient) I put on and was extremely surprised at the fitment. Being a bigger dude,6'5 and 275, was extremely happy with coverage. The playes allow for good rifle placement from a ready. Adjustments easy and straight forward along with durable construction. Would easily recommend to anyone
Hi Michael, thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear the armor fits well and meets your expectations. Stay safe and feel confident with Invictus Templar gear!
Plate carrier sits comfortably around shoulders and waist, even with steel plates inside. Service was exceptional and was able to receive my carrier much faster than expected.
Everything worked out really good. Its pretty heavy but thats how I know it works. Great price on this item and i will definitely be ordering the other one to complete my vest set up. Thanks Calvin.
I own a set of LVL4 plates. Great company and product, however after attending a class and wearing the armor I’ve come to understand that as a prepared person the weight and bulk are not exactly practical or necessary. These hybrid plates offer adequate protection against the most likely threats to be encountered as a prepared citizen and the light weight makes a huge difference. The plate carrier is stream lined, efficient and comfortable. I highly recommend the Aegis plates and the MK I carrier
Great plates. I love the front cut for range of motion. I am wearing these in my carrier for the Tactical Games and the added range of motion is really nice. Well done!
Excellent Plate Carrier. I purchased this for the Tactical Games. I have been training in it regularly and it is very comfortable. Also, it is very durable. I saw some reviews online that said this company is more for airsoft gang. I do not see that. I think their gear it well thought out and very well made. As good as major brands with way better value.
The lightweight lable is misleading
Love it!
Durable material, arrived on time, had to figure out the side panels on my own there were no instructions otherwise i would have gave 5 stars
This is a very well-made, well thought-out plate carrier and the customer service has been fantastic. I particularly like the buckles that hold the shoulder straps to the front of the carrier. They are very similar to buckles I had on my old helicopter flight vest. In practice, they function very well and are an appreciated feature. Thank you!
Amazing product, absolutely exceeded my expectations
