The upcoming 5.11 Tactical Plate Carrier was a soft launch at SHOT Show but has been pretty much kept under wraps since then. They’ve refined the design a little but for the most part it’s remained unchanged.
Constructed of LiteLok, it features a die cut pile MOLLE field along (with flat admin pocket behind) with a kangaroo style flap with integrated magazine pouches. The flaps for these mag pouches can be tucked out of the way. It is a center pull quick release with cables over both shoulders. There is also a skeletonized cummerbund. Additionally, there is an integrated drag strap in the rear.
Look for the Plate Carrier to be available is this Fall.

This is great as long as customers are OK with supporting Vietnam’s economy.
Yeah this is what I don’t like about the 5.11 line…every other tactical dealer that is worth their gear…makes it in the USA…and it’s not like 5.11 stuff is inexpensive either…it’s expensive foreign made stuff…
I can’t “like” both your comments. I have learned never to buy anything “tactical” from a company that does their manufacturing in Asia.
Great, more import sh/t. When are they going to learn?…
I don’t think US-made equals better quality, but I definitely feel proud with it. Especially knowing the manufacturers aren’t abused.
Any idea if these will be offered in all sizes or just the regular quadruple extra large?
