Technical Specifications:

No Ceramic Fragmentation Design:

The FIREFIGHT Plate Carrier's defining feature is its multi-ply Cordura® 1670 denier ballistic nylon construction that traps bullet jacket and ceramic particles. When ceramic armor plates are impacted by projectiles, the ceramic fractures to defeat the threat - this is normal and expected behavior. However, these ceramic fragments and bullet jacket particles can become secondary projectiles if not properly contained.

The FIREFIGHT carrier's multiple plies of super-strong Cordura® 1670 denier ballistic nylon are specifically designed to trap these particles, preventing them from becoming a hazard to the wearer or nearby personnel. This is particularly important in close-quarters environments where ceramic fragmentation could pose risks to team members or civilians.

This carrier was designed specifically for ceramic armor, not steel plates. The construction and materials are optimized for the unique characteristics of ceramic armor, including the need to contain ceramic fragments while maintaining flexibility and comfort.

Big and Tall Sizing:

Finding proper-fitting body armor is a critical safety issue for big and tall operators. Ill-fitting carriers can leave vital organs exposed, create pressure points that cause fatigue, or restrict movement during critical operations. The FIREFIGHT Plate Carrier addresses this challenge with sizing specifically designed for 2XL-5XL operators.

The carrier features multiple adjustment points that allow for customization across the size range, ensuring proper plate positioning and weight distribution. Proper fit means the armor plates sit in the correct position to protect vital organs, the weight is distributed evenly to reduce fatigue, and the carrier moves naturally with your body rather than restricting movement.

Big and tall operators deserve the same level of protection and comfort as standard-sized personnel. The FIREFIGHT carrier delivers both through thoughtful design and quality construction.

Ceramic Armor Compatibility:

The FIREFIGHT Plate Carrier is designed to accommodate ceramic armor plates in 10"x12" - 11" x 14" sizes, making it compatible with most GTS ceramic armor plates and other manufacturers' ceramic plates. The carrier pockets are sized and shaped to properly retain ceramic plates while allowing for easy insertion and removal when needed.

The carrier is specifically engineered for ceramic armor, not steel plates. Ceramic armor has different weight distribution, thickness, and fragmentation characteristics compared to steel, and the FIREFIGHT carrier is optimized for these ceramic-specific requirements. Using this carrier with ceramic armor ensures you get the full benefit of both the armor's ballistic protection and the carrier's fragmentation containment features.
