Can armor plates be utilized with this vest?

Yeah, it's got a slot to put plates in there. Not sure how secure they will be though. Large plates would fit done

A Kevlar duty vest insert will not fit properly on the inside....I have a duty vest also, the shoulders do not fit, I have tried many different ways and it just doesn't match up..However there is a lot of room for trauma plates. Front and back plates fit ok, side plates tend to shift a little ....This vest is ok for a Chinese knock off..Definitely some better quality vest out there on the market, but it's a good back up tactical vest...Also the vest sits a little low, leaving more of my upper chest area vulnerable?

It uses pressure straps to attach to MOLLE. It should fit without issue as this vest has plenty of back MOLLE.

Yes, the vest consists of multiple pockets which hold a small weight which could be removed to get lighter. Additionally if you ever wanted to make it heavier you could purchase heavier weights to replace the ones that come with the vest.

it should fit almost any plate carrier/vest. and even if it doesn't fit perfectly, it has two sets of MOLLE straps, one pair on top and one pair on the bottom, so that even if it just hung by the top pair it should be on there well enough and you could put a belt through the bottom pair if that'd be more comfortable/secure.

Most plates will fit, some minor trimming may be necessary. Vest is well made and worth the money with included accessories. Regards

yes it will. it will have to be adjusted. This vest feels like a real military tact vest

Yes, depending on the size of the lens. The vest is adjustable so you could wear it higher if needs be.

No pocket for soft trauma plate. The vest will fit if not too large. I'm not a very big guy and I had to pack it in but it fit. Good quality and works at a great price.

If your talking about a level 2 or 3 Kevlar panel from a under duty shirt vest, up to a size large will fit.

Unfortunately, I can't answer your question. My dog never had the opportunity to use her vest. She became ill shortly after I purchased it.

It does have armor plating pouches, however with the stitching job I wouldn't expect it to hold well. When I tried placing my standard size plates into the vest, it was loose and the compartment was stressing at the bottom where the weight was being held. I recommend going with a vest from Condor or Blackhawk if you're looking to carry plates. Good luck in your search.

Hello Mitch! Unfortunately, ArmorSuit products varies with the use of a dock system. It may or may not be compatible.

Unfortunately No you can't, the pocket is part of the vest and all the straps are sewn to it.

Ummm.. probably not. I hang one helmet on there and it is sticking out pretty far. You may be able to get two on there, but they would be banging against each other. You could buy two holders though and install one on each side of the plate. Gary

any sporting goods outlet, no special "weights" are required. You can use standard plates (1") or small Olympic weights (2") even tried the square shaped lead weights for SCBA diving belts. The weights are secured with several velcro straps so you can adjust the total weight and configuration as you wish, just be careful as mentioned because the weights need to be secured tightly or it will damage the vest. There are four separate placement location, two on the front and two on the back. It is a good idea to take the vest with you to the store. Hope this helps
