    What is the best Plate Carrier?

    We think the best plate carrier is the Crye Precision JPC 2.0 as it has been the industry standard for both real steel and Airsoft for many years and has battle proven it's design over time and time again! However, the "best" plate carrier can vary greatly depending on your specific needs and preferences. Factors to consider when determining the best plate carrier include:

    1. Protection Level: If you need high-level protection, look for carriers designed to hold real ballistic plates. If you're using it for airsoft or recreational purposes, you might opt for a carrier that accommodates foam or plastic plates for a lighter setup.

    2. Fit and Comfort: A plate carrier should fit comfortably and securely. Look for adjustable straps, padded shoulders, and ventilation to ensure comfort during extended use.

    3. Customization: The ability to add or remove pouches, holsters, and accessories to suit your mission or game is important. MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) webbing is a common feature for customization.

    4. Durability: High-quality materials and construction are essential for longevity and performance in demanding situations.

    5. Weight and Mobility: Consider the weight of the carrier and how it affects your mobility. Lightweight carriers are preferred for those who need to move quickly.

    6. Cost: Plate carriers can range widely in price. It's important to find a balance between quality and affordability that suits your budget.
