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.

Spoke on the phone with Wilson, he answered all of my questions and was very informative, I placed my order on a Friday he told me he was going to hand assemble them himself, while sending me pictures and videos of the process which was an experience I don’t think you will get anywhere else, I received my plates well packaged within 5 days, unbelievably fast from start to finish, will definitely be ordering another set soon.
Listen these plates are amazing quality I’ve paid for the more known brands at a way higher price and they are literally not even as well made as these, I have absolutely zero negative things to say the shipping was fast and very well packaged and the plates stop atleast 4 rounds of 30-06 ap what’s not to love. I just hope that this company stays true to its roots the more they become known unlike other companies that raise prices and lower standards the more known they are. Highly recommend.
Ive been messaging Gilliam tactical for awhile about the armor and ive always recieved quick replies and great answers to my questions. The plates i recieved feel excellent they're lighter than ESAPIS and have more coverage. Theres a thick protective lip all the way around the edge od the plates to prevent from shattering which i appreciate because i often find myself being pretty rough with my equipment due to the nature of my job. Shipping was quick and it was well packaged
I got these for my wife because she didn’t like the weight of some steel ones I got her. They’re nice and light and look great as well. Definitely confidence inspiring at a great price !!!
They are awesome RF3 plates. Fast shipping. Received the plates less than a week after ordering. Best plates for the price. All the YouTube videos helped me in my decision. Will definitely order again.
These body armor plates arrived quickly and in perfect condition. It is apparent that you’re dealing with a company with a high level of competency and care. This is evident from their level of communication for your order and even down to their packaging and shipping methods. GTS is a very reputable company. They document testing for their plates in a way that I have not experienced with other companies that I researched. This was my second order with GTS and the experience was identical. Great product from a great company!
Wasn't sure if these plates were going to be worth their price. However, when I opened up the box and saw what was inside and felt them I was absolutely blown away! They feel solid and very well made. Couldn't be happier! Cannot say anything as to whether they work or not, hopefully will never have to.
Great plates. Fit my agilite K Zero perfectly. Wanted a level 4 ceramic armor plate and this was just too good of a deal. The way the design is explained on youtube made me trust these plates over the others.
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 +

Many thanks! Your plates are edge to edge SSiC with a 2mm rubber strip along the outside plate perimeter.
