Fox Outdoor Vital Plate Carrier Vest — Adjustable Plate Carrier (600D polyester shell, mesh lining)
Rugged protection without compromise—built to house standard plates while remaining adjustably comfortable and field-ready.
This Vital Plate Carrier Vest is designed for front, back, and side plate insertion (up to 10″ × 13″ front/back, and 6″ × 8″ side) and crafted from heavy 600-Denier polyester shell with mesh-lined panels for comfort. It features adjustable padded shoulder straps and side panels with quick-release buckles for a secure, custom fit. “Loop” panels allow attachment of ID/patches; there’s also a drag handle for emergencies and a removable accessory panel for tactical lights and utilities.
Product Description
A robust, purpose-built plate carrier vest tailored for fitness rucking, tactical training, or duty use—constructed from heavyweight 600D polyester for durability, with breathable mesh-lined front/back. Plate pockets are secured via hook-&-loop, and adjustable components make fit-up fast and reliable. With a minimal stack height and straightforward design, it balances protection, comfort, and mobility.

Why It Stands Out
This plate carrier strikes an excellent balance of plate compatibility, durability, and adjustability at a solid value. It fits standard hard-armor dimensions, allows side plate integration, and features tactical convenience (drag handle, patch loops, accessory panel) often reserved for higher-tier carriers. The heavy-duty shell material supports fitness/rucking scenarios as well as field use.

Security, LE, or duty operators needing a dependable plate carrier platform
