Customer photo review of RTS Tactical Level IV Ceramic Premium Active Shooter Kit

I recently purchased a plate and carrier, and I must say the quality is excellent. Upon receiving my order, I was impressed by the craftsmanship and attention to detail. The delivery was quick and hassle-free, adding to my overall satisfaction. I wore the plate for approximately four hours, and throughout that time, I found it to be very comfortable. It allowed for a good range of motion without any sense of restriction or discomfort. The design fits well and feels secure, making me feel confident while wearing it. Overall, I am truly happy with my purchase and would recommend it to others looking for similar gear.

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 Premium Plate Carrier 11X14

Feels good and is sized so it will fit a big guy such as myself comfortably. The cumberbun could be made out of stiffer material I would suggest so it doesn't wobble around and spin on itself while putting the vest on and off however it is a very good and comfortable vest.

Customer photo review of RTS Tactical Premium Plate Carrier 11X14

DO NOT ORDER THE 3XL.. unless you are a really, really big guy!! I am 6.4' and 340ibs and this carrier is way too big. the straps hang half way down the front of the carrier and i have the cummerbund pulled as tight as it goes. It is the best carrier i have purchased and it would fit great if i would of ordered the correct size. I ordered the 11x14 plates and they fit and feel amazing. this carrier is built to last. I'm not sure about RTS Tactical return policy as I took it out of the plastic and set it aside for a week or so before i tried it on and threw away the original packaging. Even if they don't switch it out to a smaller size because of my mistake, i love this carrier so much I will be ordering a new one and a couple for the rest of the family. RTS has proven to be high quality in both carriers and plates!!!

I grabbed the 11x14 Premium plate carrier and it’s awesome! Lots of adjustment, very comfortable, well stitched. I can’t say enough good about this product. I bought this for my Ruck runs and home defense and it’s comfortable enough to run in! Added an abdominal pouch/plate extension with admin pouch. I’m 6Ft 208Lbs and it fits perfect with some adjustment.

I bought this because of the way this country is headed. I want to be protected as well or better than my enemies. That’s why I choose my active shooter kit. What sold me was the videos showing how well it stopped everything they fired at it. I hope I never need it but now I feel prepared and protected for what might be coming.

This is my first plate carrier so I can’t compare to others but RTS is one of the few companies I found that make a larger size for the bigger folks. It’s pure quality, fitted almost perfect out the box and shipping was super fast. I have a range session coming up and can’t wait to start training with it.

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.
