GTS specializes in the development and manufacturing of ceramic armor plates.  We have noticed a distinct 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 will help 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.  Take a look at the video below showing the GTS carrier shot with .30 caliber M2 AP.  The carrier handles it well with only a small entry hole showing in the fabric.

We do not carry carrier accessories.  The laser cut Molle is adaptable to any of your favorite accessory suppliers.

Good Set up

The quality of the vest is on point. It provides several ways to set up your gear without causing discomfort. Someone who is 5'11'' and 220lbs the vest provides adjustments to fit my frame. Also, I like the level of secureness that is provided for the plates. Which takes away from the fear of them falling out while doing extreme movements.

Thank you Marcus.

Good quality but runs big

Plate carrier quality is good, but way too big and not enough room for adjustment for someone who is 5’6”. 170lbs. I was able to modify and make it work.

Thank you - please be sure to read sizing instructions in the description. This product is intended for 5'10'+ and 190 pounds +
