PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Introducing RTS Tactical’s next evolution in plate carriers – the SOPC Sustained Operations Plate Carrier. Built from the ground up through real-world feedback, the SOPC was created for operators who endure the toughest missions and demand nothing less than strength, adaptability, and endurance. Purpose-built. Mission-ready. Built to outlast the fight.

FEATURES

  • FlexFit™ Compression Cummerbund Engineered to move as you move, this system locks tight under load yet flows seamlessly with every stride, climb, and crouch. The result: uncompromised stability and enhanced range of motion when it matters most.
  • Rapid-Adjust™ Sizing System (Patent Pending) – Glide from Small through XL in seconds. No hassle. No drag. Just a fast, locked-in fit that adapts instantly and stays mission-ready for the life of your carrier.
  • Removable Placard System – A buckle-free removable interface that locks in fast, stays secure under pressure, and clears the front of your carrier for maximum patch space and mission-ready attachments.
  • Reinforced Laminate Construction – Built from RTS Tactical’s proprietary dual-layer 500D CORDURA® construction, this carrier is battle-ready for the long haul. Unlike standard builds, our reinforced system won’t sag, fold, or warp under extended use.
  • Removable Padded Shoulder Straps – Three-layer strap design with integrated MOLLE for comfort, weight distribution, and cable/hose routing.
  • ICW-Ready Armor Integration This carrier is built to accommodate all RTS Tactical hard and soft armor options, giving you the freedom to run in-conjunction systems or stand-alone Rifle Protection Inserts with ease.

• Ranger Green variant uses Cordura® TrueLock™ (IRR-treated)

  • Breathable Aero Liner – Increasing airflow and comfort during extended wear.

    Why We Made It

    At RTS Tactical, every product begins with a problem that needs solving. With the SOPC Sustained Operations Plate Carrier, the challenge was clear: operators in the field needed a carrier built for long missions, high mobility, and uncompromising durability without unnecessary bulk.

    We listened to SWAT teams, military professionals, and tactical experts who told us that existing carriers lacked true adaptability, comfort under extended wear, and freedom to customize their loadouts without restriction.

    The SOPC is our answer: a carrier designed to move with you, endure with you, and stand up to the demands of sustained operations. It was built for those who push beyond limits, because their mission demands nothing less.
