Choose Your Carrier Based on Plate Size, Not Body Size
This carrier is one universal size and fits sandard SAPI/ESAPI, Mobility (Assault) or Shooters Cut plates — fit is determined by plate size, not your torso or chest measurements.
Sizing Specifications
| Carrier Size | Compatible Plate Types | Fits Plate Dimensions |
|---|---|---|
| Medium/Large (One Size) | Small SAPI / ESAPI Medium SAPI / ESAPI Medium Mobility / Assault Cut Medium Shooters / Swimmers Cut | Up to 10" x 12.5" x 1" |
Important Notes:
- Confirm Your Plate Size First:This carrier is one universal size (Medium/Large) — before purchasing, confirm you're running Small or Medium SAPI/ESAPI sized (10x12 or smaller)plates in Standard, Mobility (Assault), or Shooters Cut. It does not fit Large SAPI/ESAPI or 11" x 14" plates.
- Thickness Variations:This carrier fits plates up to approximately 1" of nominal thickness. Plates thicker than that may not seat properly in the carrier's pocket.
- Overall Fit:The carrier's shoulder and cummerbund straps are fully adjustable to accommodate a range of body types within this one carrier size — fit is about matching your plate size, not sizing the carrier itself.

Customers praised this modular plate carrier for being "well made," "comfortable," and offering "excellent value." The lightweight design, durable 1000D nylon construction, and quick-release system received strong praise. Reviewers noted it's "streamlined, efficient and comfortable" with versatile MOLLE options. Some desired better instructions, more shoulder padding, and multicam color options.
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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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.
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
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.
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!
This plate carrier is awesome it’s comfortable and durable
So far I am impressed with the quality. I have yet to wear it for long deployment. I have worn it several times for training and its very comfortable. As a Tactical Medic I love the size and portability of it. Its modality is great as I can use it to store extra medical gear.
Medics make the world go round. Thank you!
Well made, great fit.
Great quality! Great customer service! My original package was damaged in transit which resulted in minor damage to the product, and they got right back to me to make things right. My active duty son in laws was really impressed with set-up, quality, and price point as well.
so far seems like a solid kit, I just wish came in multicam
Super comfortable carrier. Not sure what the zippers on the back are for. I’m assuming I can attach a pack of some kind. Not seeing anything like that on the web sight though.
This carrier is well made and efficient. Great quality for the price. I would like to see more accessories for carrier, backpack, glove holder, ifak. A set up video would be a good add. I love it and just ordered plates too.
Great carrier! Fits like a glove and is very versatile

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the MK-I fit my plates?
Yes -- the MK-I is built around standard 10x12 SAPI-cut plates and includes internal pockets sized for that cut.
What size carrier do I need?
Carrier sizing is driven by your plate size, not your body size -- measure the plates you plan to run and select the matching carrier size from the chart.
Does this work with my existing pouches and accessories?
Yes -- the MK-I uses a standard MOLLE/PALS grid, so it's compatible with the pouches and accessories you already own.
Is this legal to ship to my state?
Body armor shipping is restricted in some states and countries -- for example New York and Connecticut have additional requirements, and international orders may face import restrictions. Check your local laws before ordering.
What's the difference between this and a steel or ceramic plate setup?
Steel plates are heavier and can spall on impact, while ceramic and PE (polyethylene) plates are lighter and multi-hit rated but cost more -- the MK-I carrier works with any of these plate types, so the choice comes down to your weight, budget, and threat-level priorities.
