Customer photo review of RTS Tactical Premium Plate Carrier 10X12

The carrier is great took the 10x12 plates I have no problem. The only thing at this point I don’t like is the shoulder straps don’t stay on top if the padding. I would suggest another loop that the sholder strap goes thru to keep it on top of the padding. I will have to make something to fix that problem.

Customer photo review of RTS Tactical LWR5 Rifle Special Threats NIJ 0101.06 Level III+ Insert - 10X12

Neither impressed nor disappointed. They’re steel plates, they’re on the smaller side of true to size, true to the posted weight on my scale at 6.6 lbs each. I received a pair of asymmetrical shaped plates. Don’t notice it in the carrier and over trauma pads and spall guard. They work. Shipping was fast. Company is good. The plates are plates though.

I absolutely love how comfortable, durable, and balanced this tactical vest is. I ruck about 5 miles with this vest and use it on deployment whenever I am with the State/Army national guard. I also trust the plates with my life and that is something that gives me peace of mind. I highly recommend this product for both military, law enforcement, and contract private security. Great job RTS!

Customer video review of RTS Tactical Level III+ LWR5 Special Threats Premium Active Shooter Kit - 10X12

I purchased an active shooter plate carrier from RTS on 12-29-23. I received said carrier on 1-22-24 and assembled it then tried it on. While trying to adjust the shoulder straps to pull up the back plate so it can sit comfortably high on my back, the shoulder straps are too long and now hang into my workstation triangle of my chest. I think the “one size fits most” category does not work. I tried going to returns and the website advised this item is unreturnable.

Customer photo review of RTS Tactical Level III+ LWR5 Special Threats Premium Active Shooter Kit - 10X12

Shipping was super fast! When it comes to plates and carrier kits, RTS is the fastest shipping from what I’ve experienced! Kits are a good deal and of quality and from my own research and the countless amount of videos I’ve watched to inform myself of the many choices and brands. I went with RTS because of the dependability! Wish the “lightweight” plates were a bit more “light” but with steel plates, I’ll deal with 6.7-7lbs a plate. Only pet peeve is that I wish the kits included trauma pads. Overall a great deal, and will be buying again.

I’ve spent about 6 months, bought 5 different plate carriers, this one is the most reliable, best built plate carrier I’ve bought. Ended up loving the fit and quality. My plates are in the right position, the secureness of it all is top notch, the quality of material and stitching is top quality. Trust it with my life! Top notch guys! 10 out of 10 on this one!

After 6 months of wearing it it's even more comfortable. The lvl 4 plates seem to not budge or shift around at all even after plenty of "hands-on" situations. RTS did a damn fine job, worthy of an Infantryman's approval.

Awesome carrier. I was using a Condor, but this is much more comfortable and better quality. It is very easy to adjust, especially compared to my Condor. The color looks great and it's a perfect fit for the RTS level 4 plates. I added a Source hydration carrier to the back and several different mag pouches.
