High-quality plate carriers from ASMC: Plate carriers for the highest demands

Plate carriers are an extremely important part of military protective equipment. They protect service personnel from direct hits to the lungs and heart during harsh everyday operations.
In their simplest form, plate carriers consist of a plate pocket on both the front and back. Military personnel and law enforcement officers, including police and special forces, can use these pockets to store ballistic plates that prevent projectile penetration and provide optimal protection to these body parts.
Plate carriers aren't just used by law enforcement: On the playing field, for example, they are popular with airsoft players. In this case, however, the plate carriers don't contain ballistic plates, but rather dummy plates or foam inserts.
The front and rear plate pockets of the plate carrier are connected by the shoulder straps. Additionally, there are either simple straps on both sides for securing the plate carrier or a cummerbund, which prevents the carrier from slipping. A cummerbund can be integrated into a quick-release system, making it easier for the user to remove the plate carrier if necessary.

Special features of the plate carriers

Because plate carriers are equipped with ballistic plates, their construction is heavier than most body armor. This can sometimes restrict users' freedom of movement. Additionally, plate carriers often generate heat, which users may find warmer. However, it should be noted that a simple combat shirt can alleviate this. Furthermore, plate carriers and the ballistic plates themselves are considered extremely reliable, making the slight reduction in freedom of movement a worthwhile trade-off.
Plate carriers are usually modular or semi-modular compared to body armor. For example, they can be expanded with MOLLE webbing to accommodate any number of magazine and utility pouches, allowing additional equipment to be carried directly on the wearer and always within easy reach.
However, there are also plate carriers that are primarily suitable for civilian use: The so-called Slick Plate Carriers, compared to the usual plate carriers, include no or only a few PALS loops, which allows them to be worn discreetly under jackets.
