FAQ

Can civilians wear plate carriers? 

Body armor, even tactical in nature, is legal to own in all 50 states (but we can not ship it to the state of Connecticut or New York).

Is it illegal to wear a plate carrier in public?

Though not illegal, it would likely draw unwanted attention to wear this plate carrier in public. Designed to be mission-ready, the carrier is durable and adjustable, with plenty of MOLLE for gear attachment. 

What is a Cummerbund Plate Carrier? 

A cummerbund plate carrier is a type of vest carrier that can hold hard body armor plates and has wider sides wrapping around. The best plate carrier cummerbund will include some type of protection, usually a Level IIIA soft armor panel. If you are looking for the best cummerbund for plate carriers, check out our 6x8 Cummerbund Armor, or our 6x6 Cummerbund Armor.

Is the Core Mission Plate Carrier adjustable for different body sizes?

While the carrier itself fits true to size, inserting plates will cause the carrier to have a tighter fit. Because of this, we recommend sizing up one (1) size if you are between or on the border of two sizes. The laced paracord system in the back of the vest is adjustable and can help provide the most comfortable fit.

Where do I insert the cummerbund armor?

If you lift the full-field of velcro on the front, you will find the cummerbund straps. Lift the cummerbund strap from the front of the vest and you will find an entrance point for the level 3a soft armor inserts.

Which internal pocket do I place my rifle-rated plate in?

While there are three internal pockets to the Core Plate Carrier, you will place the rifle rated plate in the middle pocket that has a reinforced velcro strap to ensure your armor plate does not shift. The front pocket can be used for a spall liner if you're operating with ICW plates or Steel Plates. The rear internal pocket gives the option of using a trauma pad.

Can I wash my vest?

The outer carrier is machine washable. Simply remove the ballistic cummerbund panels and any trauma pads or plates, then we recommend washing the carrier on gentle. Lay the carrier flat to dry.

Okay I have to admit I am a complete idiot. At first I was bashing this plate carrier because when I bought the Fortis lv3+ plate I couldn't get it into the plate carrier. I was forcing and struggling to get it into the plate carrier I was thinking it wouldn't even fit. (I'm a newbie) I was really aggravated at first. Only reason why I'm telling this not to show how much of a dummy I am but to say how professional and quick Premier body armor is to help they sent me an email the day after telling me where I should be putting the plate with pictures explaining. I eventually figured it out before I seen the email but just knowing they will help or respond to any question or explanation is a definite plus for me and will always recommend Premier Body Aemor to anyone.

I am very happy with this plate carrier. It feels well build, the material used seems really sturdy and feels like it would last for a good while. My only grip with this carrier is the quick release points on the shoulder and cumberbund. Although they would come in handy in a situation where I would have to get the plate carrier off quickly they are made of a plastic (but do feel sturdy in itself) I just don't really like them being plastic. Would be awesome if they were aluminum or some kind of light metal but I wouldn't use them if I don't have to avoiding accidentally breaking them so for me using the velcro side under the flap in the front will be my main way of taking off and putting on the plate carrier. I'm not in the military or in law enforcement but I do like to feel prepared for any situation that I would have to protect myself. I'm super happy with this purchase and can't wait to get the plates for it and start training at the range with my "battle gear"

Great company & Products

This will be my second plate carrier. My first setup was a Condor pc and ar500 level III steel plates. Those plates weigh about 10lbs a piece, and we’re only curved perpendicular, so it was a lot of weight at the core of my kit. I purchased the Core plate carrier with 2 level III+ multi-curve Stratis plates. I am very happy with my purchase.
I am so excited with how light the plates are. The whole set up seems even to light, but once you add all the other crap it’s perfect. I am very impressed thus far with Premier Body Armor. With my initial purchase I earned enough reward points to pay for 2 spall panels (to use as trauma pads). With each purchase there has been a thank you card that is actually signed by Alex Stewart. I’m imagining this is true for each purchase. That is one of the most exceptional things I’ve seen from a company. Keep up the good work.

Decent

I'm very happy with the carrier. The armour could have been sized one size up (I am a small framed individual). The carriers are one size fits all (which fits perfectly for me and my larger friends). Overall I am happy with my purchase, I cannot verify that it stops 44 mag, but I wouldn't doubt it. If any critique, specificy that the armor is being sized, rather than the carrier, as I thought. Great product overall.

Core mission plate carrier.

Overall, a great carrier. Great coverage on the side due to the level 3a cummerbund. Comfortable to wear during my work shifts (12 hour shifts) with the plates. Only adjustment needed to be made, was having Velcro sewn on to be able to put my agency badge on the top left shoulder strap. Carrier is getting heavy use and appears to be handling the standard wear and tear appropriately. Would highly recommend.
