DESIGN A CUSTOM VEST

Quick release. Duty ready. Easy to issue.

The Rapid Duty Vest is a quick-release external armor carrier built for law enforcement agencies that need a clean, duty-ready patrol vest without the complexity of a fully custom carrier build.

Designed around one base platform with four mission-ready configurations, the Rapid Duty Vest gives departments practical options for slick, MOLLE, laser MOLLE, or sewn-in pouch layouts. Each configuration includes duty-use features like quick-release clips, a side-opening adjustable cummerbund, front and rear plate pockets, custom ID and badge options, a drag strap, and radio/body camera loops.

Choose the carrier configuration that fits your department’s needs, then select from available NIJ-certified ballistic package options.

Built for Patrol, Security, and Agency Use

The Rapid Duty Vest is made for departments that need a reliable police external quick-release carrier that is easy to issue, easy to fit, and practical for daily duty wear.

Its external carrier design helps officers keep essential equipment accessible while maintaining a professional duty appearance. With multiple configuration options, agencies can choose a low-profile patrol vest, a modular MOLLE platform, a cleaner laser MOLLE layout, or an integrated pouch setup for a more standardized issue.

Rapid Duty Vest Configuration Options

Rapid Slick

A clean exterior profile for agencies that want a professional, low-bulk duty vest with minimal external attachment points.

Best for departments that prefer a uniform-friendly appearance, streamlined identification, and reduced exterior bulk.

Rapid MOLLE

A traditional MOLLE layout for modular pouch placement and equipment customization.

Best for agencies that want officers to configure pouches, tools, and accessories around their role, shift, or assignment.

Rapid Laser MOLLE

A lower-profile laser-cut MOLLE layout that keeps modular capability while creating a cleaner, more modern appearance.

Best for departments that want the flexibility of MOLLE with a more refined patrol carrier profile.

Rapid Pouch

An integrated sewn-in pouch setup for agencies that want a fixed, ready-to-issue loadout.

Best for departments that want consistency across officers and less variation in pouch placement.

Duty-Ready Carrier Details

The Rapid Duty Vest is built with the practical details officers expect from an external armor carrier. Quick-release clips allow fast removal when needed, while the side-opening adjustable cummerbund helps support fit and wearability across daily shifts.

Front and rear plate pockets give agencies the option to scale protection when paired with approved plates. Custom ID and badge options help departments maintain clear agency identification, while the drag strap, radio loop, and body camera loop support real-world field use.
