Advanced Ultra Durable Extended Drag Handle
Increased Safety: The extended drag handle also serves as a lifesaving tool during emergencies. It enables a fellow team member to quickly and safely pull the user to safety, even if the wearer is incapacitated or unconscious.
Rapid Deployment: Speed is essential in an emergency. The extended drag handle on the OPSEC advanced quick-release plate carrier allows for rapid deployment, allowing one or more soldiers to be extracted from a dangerous situation in seconds.
Tested and CertifIed perform with strength up to 960 lbs of body weight
Full Quick Release System
In unpredictable combat situations, quick-release buckles can be vital to quickly shedding the carrier and freeing oneself, especially in cases of jammed or unresponsive release mechanisms on traditional buckles.
Improved Maneuverability: Our Quick-release buckles help to reduce the amount of time and effort required for the removal of the armor, making it easier for users to quickly reposition.
Swift Medical Attention: In life-saving scenarios, the difference of seconds can often be the difference between life and death. With quick-release buckles, medical professionals can have rapid access to injuries or wounds in critical areas.
Versatility: The added feature of quick-release buckles provides greater versatility for the wearer. Depending on the situation, the carrier can be rapidly adjusted or removed with minimal impact on functionality.
Advanced Load Out Capable & Laser Cut Bonded Material
Versatility: The ability to easily change load-outs allows the wearer to customize their gear according to mission requirements, allowing them to adapt to different situations in the field. This increases the versatility of the OPSEC Plate Carrier.
Efficiency: A removable and changeable loadout allows soldiers or law enforcement officers to switch out equipment quickly, saving valuable time in dangerous situations. Being able to make rapid adjustments to their gear can mean the difference between life and death in certain circumstances.
Lightweight: Laser-cut plate carriers have less material than their traditional counterparts, which reduces overall weight. This decreases the effort required for the wearer to move, providing a more efficient maneuverability in high-stress situations.
Enhanced Durability: The RTS Tactical OPSEC Plate Carriers feature laser-cut materials that are more durable than those with traditional Cordura Nylon. The laser-cut edges help prevent fraying and tearing, which can be detrimental to the overall carrier's functionality during Tactical Operations
Upgraded Internal Spacer Mesh with Advanced Airway System
Enhanced Comfort and Breathability: Upgraded internal spacer mesh increases airflow within the plate carrier, reducing discomfort from heat and sweat build-up during prolonged use.
Enhanced Load Management: The RTS Tactical OPSEC provides efficient load distribution, reducing pressure points on the shoulders, back, and hips. This ensures that the wearer can comfortably carry their gear, even for extended periods.
Superior Impact Protection: Our upgraded internal spacer mesh enhances the impact absorption capacity of the plate carrier, reducing the severity of injuries resulting from blunt force trauma.
Moisture Management: As Spacer Mesh is highly porous and absorbent, it helps to wick away moisture from the body, keeping the user dry and comfortable during the toughest missions.

Probably the most comfortable carrier I’ve worn. Just not to the point of training weekly, but seriously wearing this working out, that comfortable. I believe in spending money on good stuff that will last, and this is a perfect fit. I’m definitely spreading the word of a great product and great customer service!
I like it a lot. I would suggest having options to add side protection to it and the option for a more concealed carrier vest for the included plates so I don't have to wear a heavy jacket to conceal it. Otherwise, I'm happy with it.
I have this vest and one of their other ones. Both of them fit and work well. But if you’re a bigger guy, this vest is the easiest one to get on and off and has plenty of flexibility. Not to mention the shipping is phenomenal. I received Everything within 3 to 5 days. Very happy with RTS
This is an excellent vest — I wear it for work eight hours a day, and it's incredibly comfortable. It distributes weight well and is clearly well-constructed. I would definitely recommend it.
That said, I did have a couple of minor issues. The shoulder strap padding includes a built-in buckle that caused pressure points, so I had to remove it for better comfort. Additionally, the package didn’t include any instructions, so I had to contact customer support to figure out how to adjust the cummerbund.
As a larger individual, I found that 10x12 plates were too small for me, but the 11x14 size fits perfectly. Overall, this is a great vest, and I would absolutely purchase it again.
This is what I needed. The inserts are inside of my personal Galls G-Force 3a.
My light colored, polyester uniform did show a vest underneath the shirt before the RTS plate addition, but off duty darker/thicker/larger clothing will conceal it well.
Newest edition to my tac closet. Can’t wait to use it. Tried it on and it’s not only breathable, but it doesn’t hinder mobility. You guys do good work. Right on RTS. Stay fearless 👌🏽
Thank you RTS,
Delivered two more of these amazing 6x8 LIGHTWEIGHT LEVEL III+ RIFLE SPECIAL THREATS INSERTS for officers ballistic vests. Although their current issued vest are capable of stopping most pistol caliber ammunition, unfortunately they are not built to stop the most commonly utilized rifle rounds. Most municipalities do not provide these inserts due to cost and other factors. Had officer Diaz and other officers had one of these ballistic inserts their chances of survival would have increased exponentially.
Our mission at PatrolArmor.org is to provide these to every municipality who request them.

“Protecting those who Protect us.”
After learning what happened to Sergeant Elio A. Diaz of the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office last year, I began purchasing the RTS 6x8 Lightweight Level III+ Rifle Special Threat Inserts for Lee County Sheriff’s officers’ ballistic vests. During a routine traffic stop Sergeant Diaz spent more than an hour helping a driver with an insurance issue so the vehicle — where the driver lived — wouldn’t have to be towed. Without warning, the driver retrieved a semi-automatic rifle and fatally shot Sergeant Diaz.
The issued vests currently stop most pistol calibers, but they are not designed to stop the rifle rounds most commonly used. Most municipalities don’t provide rifle plates because of cost and other constraints. Had Sergeant Diaz or other officers been equipped with these Level III+ inserts, their chances of survival would have increased exponentially.
I started PatrolArmor.org, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, to accept local community contributions and provide every uniformed officer with a rifle rated plate. So far I’ve purchased plates out of pocket. If one plate prevents a single officer’s death, the personal sacrifice will have been worth it. Thank you in advance for future donation consideration.”
Absolutely love this vest! It took me a second to get used to the quick attach but I figured out the easier to reach my right hand under the plates (I have III+) and secure it. Excellent quality and I will definitely be purchasing more products!
These kits are great out of the box! (Bluey morale patches not included). They feel comfortable and are easy to move around in. We both have worn them doing workouts and while they don’t feel heavy while wearing them, they do add that burn on leg day. I’m 5’ 10” and 200lbs and wearing the L/XL while she is 5’ 3” and 120lbs wearing the S/M. No adjustment was needed on the plate carrier for me. She just needed the shoulders cinched up a bit and has a little bit of overlap in the cummerbund to make it wear snug. We both appreciate the added mag sleeves on the side for things like extra ammo and lip gloss. They also don’t add much bulk under a light jacket making them the perfect solution for protection without calling you out. Highly recommend!
Special threat plates shipped quickly and were packaged well. Customer service has been A+. Plates fit perfectly in my department issued armor carrier and adds that extra layer of protection to ensure I make it home. I would recommend RTS to anyone in the LEO field, and have already recommended coworkers order the same inserts.
Plate carrier is comfortable to wear. I was impressed with how well it was made and the benefit of being able to carry more ammunition. Made a great investment decision. Thank you RTS Tactical!
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.
Little big, but they'll grow into them. No in all seriousness this is one of the highest quality carriers I've ever messed with. I love the quick release buckles. Aside from that the customer service is absolutely top tier, and that is rare these days. The combination of quality and service has created a customer for life.
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!
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.
Great level3+ plates. Engineering is on point, shipping was quick, eduction and customer service / experience was top tier. Shout out to Phill for reaching out directly to make sure I had everything I needed. Recommend 10/10
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.
A perfect fit high-quality fabric, great stitching, very comfortable would highly recommend it. I bought it as a secondary carrier, but it has now become my primary.
Love the vest plate carrier and plates I got side plates as well the side pouch holder could be a little more secure but other than that I live it and recommend it if you have the funds
