    This carrier fits very well & is what I’m looking for. I will buy the placard soon when I get the funds because I really like how these all attach together. The plates fit perfectly too.

    This carrier works great for emergency response and active shooter response. As LEO it’s a good option when I need a kit available but not in every day use. Works great with ceramic SAPI and the multiple placards I use on it fit exceptionally well. It is comfortable and the Velcro is top tier.

    Perfect for the price.

    The carrier is durable, fits properly and is easily customizable with whatever accessories you got like mag pouches and fun bags. I put my holster on mine. (Cus I’m cool 💅). Did I say it fits properly? It’s adjustable so it can fit most sizes (who are in decent shape). It’s also lightweight so it’s very easy to move around in.

    In short, this a very good option for a carrier with the price tag. You can never spend enough when it comes to your life.

    I like the adjustability, as well as the adaptability of the carrier. I pray not to need it, but the signs say that may not be the case.

    Premier does it again!

    Recently have been able to get into the body armor market. For years, the affordability was out of reach. After viewing Christian Warrior Training, I purchased my first 360 armored t-shirt. This is something I wear regularly at church when I serve. Knowing that we live in the world that we live, I knew I needed something more. I purchased this carrier. Solid. Well made. Stitching complete and strong. Places to add patches and packs comfortably to build out the load out. The only thing missing now are the plates for the front and back. I look forward to finishing the package with quality Level IV or Level III+ plates. Leaning more towards the Level IV because you can’t be too careful these days.

    Thank you, Premier Body Armor, for making it affordable to step into this marketplace.

    Ready for work, and life

    For level 3+ plates I expected a very heavy vest with less mobility than my 3a+ soft armor. 7lbs on front and back balance out remarkably well and I swear I have more range of motion than the soft armor. I’m deeply impressed with this plate carrier and it can even be concealed by a light jacket for discrete protection. Absolutely coming back to get the Fortis helmet to complete it

    Absolutely worth it.

    Perfect. Super adjustable, very comfortable. My plates and pads fit inside perfectly. The buckles on the front are easily removed and reinstalled whenever you want. Absolutely a fantastic product and priced right. Thanks, Premier!

    Fantastic product with impeccable fit!

    Very happy with the plate carrier, fit wonderfully and adjusts well if I need to lend it to someone. Purchased this in conjunction with some Level IV plates and could not be happier with them both. I am looking forward to building out my kit and deciding what I want to add to my plate carrier.

    Great Products at Premier!

    I’ve purchased several plates and carriers from Premier over the years for myself and my family members, and there’s a reason why I keep coming back. The speed in which products ship is incredible, everything arrives in great condition. The Fortis Alpha Carrier is a great product with its laser cut MOLLE, QASM buckles and hook & loop for lots of options. Looking forward to lots of use and protection.

    Just what I was l was looking for!

    I’m a Dad, who believes strongly in my responsibility to be prepared. While my main purpose for a plate carrier is fitness, my need is protection.

    Every year I look for a new plate carrier, and get overwhelmed with the options available. I want something basic and somewhat inconspicuous , but still provides options to build it out if I want. This plate carrier fit the bill, and allows me to determine how I want to use it and if I choose build it out.

    The plates I bought fit nice and snug, everything fits well while wearing it- no ill fitting straps, or excess material.

    Looking forward to using and abusing this plate carrier, and being able to grow with it!

    The vest is light weight and easy to put on. There many ways to adapt the armor with different accessories. The best feature is the plate carriers ability to protect vital organs.
