Plate Carrier

I love the simplicity of the vest customization and setup, the shoulder straps can scrape against the sides of your head when putting on or taking off vest. Great product overall though!

High quality. No frayed stitching. Superb nylon quality. Shot stop levels 4 fit with some serious force. Great product. Will be investing in another soon.

MEPC is solid

Published by Bob Dean on Jan 15th 2022

Love the modern minimal/slick feel especially when combined with the 3” hybrid cummerbund. Big fan of the top zipper admin pocket. Only gripe is lack of padded shoulder pad availability in multicam tropic to match carrier, but that no is slight to the excellently constructed plate carrier. Fits L210s like a glove and accepts Haley D3CRM chest rig and flat pack (mole rear plate bag) beautifully.

Mission Essential Plate Carrier

Published by Unknown on Jan 11th 2022

Overall a very comfy, well feature carrier. There is, however, one glaring flaw that is hard to overlook for some. The molle field on the front sits too low to comfortably use a Juggernaut phone case with. There are two options to use one, you either cant open it hardly at all, or you have a placard sitting a fair distance below the plate bag. You can see in one picture on the product page the placard is hanging below the plate bag and there still isnt enough room to open the case very far. This would be a nearly perfect carrier if they started the molle field an inch higher on the plate bag.

Quality is excellent and carrier is easy to adjust. I recommend getting the large size as it accommodates a greater variety of plates. Value is good for what you get. Placard clips easily fit a Velocity Systems/Mayflower placard already issued to me.

Great plate carrier

Published by Lee on Nov 9th 2021

This is only my second plate carrier that I have owned. I found this company from a youtube review and decided to give them a shot. The fit and quality is great. Stitching is even, and seems very strong. I have some Safe Life Defense plates that fit perfect. Carrier is comfortable on the shoulders. With the addition of the padded shoulder pads it would be more comfortable for extended wear.

Started at the bottom, now we're here

First intro into plate carriers was a cheap Condor sentry I bought some years ago. Slapped some ESAPIS I had laying around from an old interceptor vest I have. Wanted something better so I went full bore and the MEPC seemed to fit the bill nicely. It is leagues better than the Condor. Yeah, they both carry plates, but the comfort of the MEPC is far superior.
