    Tactical Plate Carrier

    Zentauron tactical plate carriers are one of the most reliable tactical gear today in ballistic protection. Wearing a plate carrier vest can mean the difference between life and death. Unlike other vests with built-in protective elements, these have more customizability. You can choose the amount of protection you want by placing the body armor plates within certain pockets and side panels. This allows you to create a balance of protection and lightweight.

    Tactical vests like these are a primary option in law enforcement. They are also one of the most popular options among military personnel. You can find a high-quality armor plate carrier in various sizes in our shop. We also have options to add upgrades, filling all the needs for your tactical plate carrier.

    An Alternative to the Bulletproof Vest

    Bulletproof vests offer much protection, but the advantage of a plate carrier is its flexibility. Even a full-sized tactical plate carrier has the versatility to accommodate features that provide comfort to the wearer. For example, when one feels exposed, they can add sized plates to the front and back pockets. They also have an emergency drag handle which allows the wearer to attach an injured person and help drag them out while they provide cover.

    The tactical plate carriers in our store have MOLLE webbing. This feature allows the vest to carry different equipment and attachments. You can also choose hook and loop closures or straps for comfort. The result is that you can have a plate that’s optimal for your mission.

    With plates, you can have the protection needed against expected threats. For example, you can have plates that protect you against rifles or one that helps against close combat encounters.

    Can Civilians Use a Tactical Plate Carrier?

    No federal law bans civilians from owning body armor like plate carriers. When there is a security threat, you’d want to have one ready. The only people that aren’t allowed to buy these items are convicted felons. However, there are some exceptions. You’ll still want to check state regulations to see if they prohibit purchasing or owning one.

    Civilians that work in higher-risk environments may want to own one or have one stored ready. The increase in shooting incidents also warrants an investment in protection. This provides peace of mind as they go about work or other activities. You can even get a carrier with shoulder pads and side plates. Some examples of civilians purchasing body armor include:

    • Private security
    • Fitness enthusiasts
    • VIPs
    • Preppers
    • Cosplayers and LARPers
    • Survivalists
