Best 3 Plate Carrier for Civilians

From weight to breathability to protection, we have listed the best 3 plate carriers that you can purchase as a civilian. Here you go:

1. Gloryfire Modular Assault Vest

If you’re looking for a plate carrier bulletproof vest to put real plates into for personal defense, or a good vest for training, paintball, and/or airsoft, this is a good option.

The vest does not come with hard or soft armor plates, but you can take the liberty to check out some of the best rated plates for your bulletproof vest. Remember that although this vest is made from a solid anti-tear polyester, it’s not Kevlar, so if you take a round to the chest without armor plates thinking it’s Kevlar, you might not make it.

2. vAv Yakeda VT-1099

Are you looking for a minimalist, low profile, and lightweight plate carrier bulletproof vest? This one by YAKEDA is a good choice for you!

The plate pockets are durable and backed with a 3D mesh for comfort and body heat dispersion. A nice thing about this vest is that it’s very adjustable as far as size is concerned. I know a lot of larger guys have a hard time finding a vest that fits right. It also comes with three mag pouches that can be removed or replaced.

3. ArcEnCiel Tactical MOLLE Vest

Do you want a plate carrier vest that comes with many attachments and accessories? Then this vest is a good option!

It has many MOLLE attachment points for maps, walkie-talkies, radios, flashlights, or other items you want to carry. Like the other plate carriers on this list, it is very adjustable. It’s a great military vest for training, home defense, paintball, airsoft, and tactical training.
