RTS Tactical offers a full spectrum of carrier vests, from low-profile concealable tactical plate carriers to heavy-duty load-bearing systems, so every operator has the right solution.

LOAD-BEARING TACTICAL VESTS

Operators who need load-bearing equipment turn to our MOLLE vests. These systems maximize storage capacity, allowing you to mount magazines, medical kits, comms, and mission-critical tools without sacrificing mobility. They’re heavy-duty by design yet optimized to maintain ergonomic balance for extended wear. Each is designed to integrate seamlessly with our NIJ-certified body armor plates, giving operators scalable protection against rifle-level threats.

CONCEALABLE VEST CARRIERS

When discretion is essential, our concealable vest lineup includes concealable under and over uniform-compatible designs. Built to blend beneath law enforcement uniforms or civilian attire, these vests use thin ballistic panels rated to NIJ-standard Level IIIA (HG2) that stop common handgun threats while remaining comfortable for all-day use. They deliver proven confidence for professionals who require covert protection.

ATHLETIC CARRIERS

For fast-moving tactical teams, the athletic carrier balances speed with strength. Lightweight, breathable, and streamlined, it carries front and back body armor plates while remaining low profile.

UNIFORM AND COMPRESSION CARRIERS

Uniform-compatible vests integrate seamlessly into duty gear, while compression carriers provide the most covert option. Sleeveless and breathable, these carriers hold ballistic panels close to the torso, functioning as ergonomic plate carriers under civilian clothing. Ideal for undercover units, executive protection, or any mission where a profile must remain minimal.

• Scalable ballistic protection: Transition from soft armor to hard armor rifle-rated plates in seconds.
• Quick-release systems: Ensure rapid removal in emergencies with quick-release buckles and straps.
• Modular plate carrier design: Configure your tactical gear vest with pouches and attachments.
• Trauma pads and panel options: Reduce blunt force trauma and enhance comfort while absorbing impact.
• Heavy-duty materials: Built to endure the toughest conditions while remaining lightweight and breathable.

Whether outfitting a tactical team or an individual patrol officer, our vests combine ballistic durability with the flexibility to adapt to every mission set. They’re complete body armor systems that integrate perfectly into your broader loadout. When paired with RTS Tactical body armor plates, they can provide the
stopping power you need against escalating threats, from handguns to high-velocity rifle rounds.

For urban operations, rural deployments, or covert missions, RTS Tactical delivers gear that professionals deploy.
