In 2014, Premier Body introduced the Discreet Executive Vest and redefined what a bulletproof vest could be. The design process was one that allowed form to follow function. The world is changing and the need for ballistic protection has increased. Enter the Discreet Plate Carrier, for peak protection without detection.
Despite being virtually invisible underneath a button-down shirt or jacket, the Discreet Plate Carrier is anything but minimalistic. When outfitted with two of our ultra-light STRATIS plates, the Discreet Plate Carrier can protect against rifle threats and maintain a low profile.
A light weight plate carrier can be difficult to design - you don't want to sacrifice the functionality people want in a plate carrier. What we developed was a light plate carrier vest with essential features only, meticulous attention to detail, and a design that is built to last.
When the final design of the discreet plate carrier came to be, here's what was included:
Our goal is to design several types of body armor, with options for everyone. To find out which body armor is right for you, read our article on How to Find the Right Bulletproof Vest.

Even with the best light plate carrier, some setting up is required for comfort and functionality. Start by choosing the right plates. For maximum protection, the STRATIS Max Level IV Plate is the right choice.
If you need a balance between weight and protection, consider the STRATIS Level III+ Multi-Curve Plate. For ultra-discreet, lightweight protection from common, everyday threats, check out our Agile PE plate.
Next, get the right fit. Adjust your straps so the plate carrier can stay in place without hindering movement, but it shouldn't be uncomfortably tight. Gear and accessories should be in a place that is easy to reach while maintaining the balance of weight to avoid strain.
Finally, it's always a smart idea to test your light plate carrier setup in different scenarios. This will help with making the final adjustments to ensure everything is secure and comfortable.

This carrier does not come with any ballistic protection. For Level 3 or Level 4 rifle-rated plates, please see our plate collection.
With a durable elastic cummerbund and lay-flat adjustable shoulder straps, the Discreet Plate Carrier is designed to fit all sizes XS-2XL.
The discreet plate carrier is designed for use under clothing. For more robust options designed to be worn outside of clothing, check out other available plate carriers such as the Fortis Alpha Carrier.
No matter if your plates are from companies such as AR500, or Spartan Armor, the Discreet Plate Carrier can hold Level III or Level IV body armor plates at or smaller than 10"x12". The plates must be thinner than 1" for an optimal fit.
The Discreet plate Carrier can fit SAPI/ESAPI or Shooter's Cut or Swimmer's Cut armor plates.
The durable, elastic cummerbund is designed around AR-Magazines, but can hold all types of equipment for your mission. You can place magazines, medical gear, or communication radios. The equipment is concealed under your shoulder and arm mass, but easily accessible for rapid response.
The outer carrier is machine washable. Simply remove any armor, then we recommend washing the carrier on gentle. Lay the carrier flat to dry.
The carrier itself weights just 1 lb. What makes the plate carrier so lightweight is the low profile design. Because the discreet plate carrier is our best lightweight plate carrier, it's more often paired with lighter plates. You'll have to decide which level of protection and which weight is right for you.

It is so lightweight and doesn’t restrict my movement.
Bought this for my wife and it is perfect and minimalist. High quality material and seems like it will last forever.
Really comfortable and light. I can fit my 10x12 soft or armor/ ceramic plates. I wish they had a little more room because I like soft plates backed up with ceramic . It won’t fit both. It’s still a stealthy plated holder. Awesome product.
First purchase from Premier...everything went smoothly and as advertised. Plate carrier is fabulous--super-slim and easy to adjust. Great work!
I haven't been to the range with the Discreet Plate Carrier yet. I've worn it around the house with III+ plates and I'm happy with the fit and how well it goes on and comes off. I've wondered if it has enough Velcro on the shoulder straps. It hasn't come loose but it's heavy with 17 lbs of steel. Clearly, no problems but it occured to me when I adjusted it. I like the simple design, all the velcro, and I like the one-size-fits-most sizing. I'm sure I could put this on a larger or smaller family member or friend with no fuss. I'm looking forward to trying it loaded up at the range as well as learning how well it'll work in public concealed. I might modify the cummerbund to take smaller magazines. Undecided.
