Mission Essential Plate Carrier

Picked up a Multicam Black MEPC with the MOLLE back plate at and can’t be more impressed with the quality and the price. No upcharge for the MOLLE option was a welcome surprise and the spacing and stitching of the webbing is on-spec. The build quality of the carrier is on par or better than other major gear companies and things are double stitched and bartacked where they should be. This carrier is a great option for those who like the profile of the Slickster but want more capability out of the box. Additionally, there’s no hyped up drops for these and they’re not that much more expensive. Lead time was on-target and shipping was quick. Ultimately I’ll come back to DM the next time I need some nylon because of the customizable options and the cost to quality ratio. Thoroughly impressed by DM. Great job guys.

I ordered everything for a kit and it come with everything I ordered. The craftmanship is outstanding. The only two things I would say is a con about this is the Mollie on the rear plate on the edges isn't flush and sticks out like loops. I have no idea if that's the intent or not. Honestly no big deal to me, the other thing is the shoulder strap cable management socks are super lose if your planning to just use them to cover the Velcro part on the straps they just slide around so I have to keep putting them back in place. But other then those two things i would say this is the best PC I've ever used.

The carrier is overall excellent quality. It has a night and tight fit with my level 4 10x12 plates and also fits my multiurve level 3+ plates very well. The shoulder straps are a little too close together for maximum comfort for me. It's a tight squeeze to get over my head, and I'm not a huge person. (6ft, 200lbs)

5 star piece of kit

I purchased this to replace a LV119 and I don't regret it for a second. Plate retention is good with 1155s and it's more comfortable than the spiritus.

Very comfortable carrier. I’m running Hesco L210’s in a Medium carrier with a Haley micro rig. Planning on putting the Haley flat pack on the back soon. I’m a small guy, 5’ 7” & 155 lbs. I was worried the carrier would be to big/small but it’s perfect. So if you’re a smaller guy don’t be afraid to get it. Just make sure you get the right size carrier for your plates and you’ll be 100% good to go.

Best carrier out there

I got the xl carrier and it was a real struggle to get the plates in. Overall the carrier seems decent enough, I like that it’s lite(will have too see what the long term wear and tear is like) the hook and loop is some of the grippiest I have seen.

Lightweight & super comfortable. I got the mc black and it looks great.

Coming from a condor plate carrier, this is a huge upgrade. It distributes the weight better and it is noticably more comfortable.
