GTS specializes in the development and manufacturing of ceramic armor plates. We have noticed an industry need for quality plate carriers and vests that can retain the ceramic particulate that can eject from the ceramic strike face over multiple impacts. Mediocre armor built with inadequate strike face elements that restrict ceramic particles can be mitigated through an extremely well-built carrier. Our GTS carrier adds multi-plies of 1670 denier ballistic Cordura® to each plate pocket. This helps eliminate penetration of ceramic shards through the carrier fabric that can occur with poorly-built carriers or ceramic armor. In many of our tests, normal plate carriers come to pieces when struck by a projectile. Look at the video below showing the GTS carrier shot with .30 caliber M2 AP. The carrier handles it with only a small entry hole showing in the fabric.
We do not carry accessories. Laser cut Molle is adaptable to any of your favorite accessory suppliers.

I am beyond pleased and satisfied with my plate, and the best customer service I've experienced. From taking the time out of a Sunday afternoon to walk me through my selection and receiving it within a week was above and beyond great service. Such an awesome product, thanks Team GTS!
These plates exceeded my expectations. You never know what your gonna get with online stores these days but GTS came through. The plates are well made, light weight and the fabric around the plates is secure. Definitely recommend and will be buying again.
Just a civilian consumer here! It was my first time buying plates and I'm pretty impressed with them. Not sure what I'm supposed to expect, but I'm happy and I hope that I never have to use these plates.
Quality is top notch here!
Thanks for helping me with sizing and getting me setup.
For anyone curious, I'm using them in a Agilite k19 and they are snug AF!
Thank you for everything that you're doing !
I spoke to the owner and he was very helpful. He explained details, answered all of my questions, and shipped all products the morning after I placed the order. Overall great experience.
Unbeatable Quality. Unrivaled Value. Top Notch Customer Service.
I could not be happier with these plates. Extremely high quality at an unbeatable price point. The customer service is on par with the best I've experienced in ANY transaction. Their passion is clearly genuine and it shows in both the product and their interaction with me. It's greatly appreciated. GTS has earned a customer for life in me and I will be referring all of my friends and family to GTS for their life saving products. Thanks again VERY much and keep up the incredible work! I look forward to making another purchase in the future!
Hello, to be honest I was a little skeptical at first. But after I did some research I found that these plates very, very good. I am super pleased with the order and the free vest was an awesome gift.

They are solid I like that they fit tight in my place carrier the last that I had slopped around all over the place made it a real bitch when you were trying to run. That being said they are heavy, but if It will stop it's worth the weight.
Hello, Robert! The OA+ series are some of the lightest plates on the market. So, rest assured that if weight is an issue for you - you have some of the lightest RF3 standard plates out there. Thanks for being our customer.
