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.

Wilson was a great help to me in getting these plates. The plates are very high quality and packaged very well to protect them en route. I chose these plates because the I believe the anti frag top fabric will potentially give me a better chance at staying in the fight by not getting ceramic fragments and dust in my eyes and keeping the ceramic in place will potentially keep the integrity of the plates for greater multi hit performance. Wilson also was a big factor in this purchase. He was great at answering all my questions and helping me to pick the best set for me. I would highly recommend these plates. They are top notch quality.
Shipped fast super great quality..came in lighter than competitors with same protection. Was impressed with how they made my plate to order for my specific plate carrier size 10x13..love GTS price was very reasonable
I've been losing weight and I needed something to fit me while I'm on this weight loss grind. This was the perfect carrier for that. It fits perfect once adjusted. It's been comfortable to wear during my full 8 hour shifts jumping in and out of a car all day.
Ive had my plate going on a year and I've been 100% satisfied with them. The fit and finish its perfect. after watching a few GTS videos I knew these were what I was looking for. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them . Now I'm considering a new set.
Reached out and was able to get in contact with someone and they helped me find what was perfect for me! Quick shipping and great communication would definitely order again!
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 !!!

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 +
