Reviews

Functional, buy uncomfortable

"I specifically bought the 5. 11 PC as it advertised as accepting L/XL plates. I also ordered two LAPG rifle plates in 11x14 as well. When I came time install the plates, it was a bit tighter than "accepts". I eventually got them in after about an hour and they don't actually fit properly, but they hold just barely with zero (may be being too generous) room left over. I ended up buying an Agilite PC and some 10x12s so the 5. 11 with the XLs is not just an extra, good in a pinch and great for working out in. Probably not going to build it out for other purposes due to my issues with it. Ordering and shipping from LAPG was great! I recommend them and will continue to shop here."

A Great Plate Carrier!

"This is a truly Great Plate Carrier! Fits a fit man's frame easily, stay PUT, suspends the plates and mags without discomfort, and does what it is supposed to do!! The icing on the cake was the price...it was unexpected and saved a few bucks for me..."

— Howard G. (5/5)

Love it!

"I'm a built man. 6'2" 205 but mostly muscle. I have trouble finding stuff that fits me well in 2019 and plate carriers are no exception. This plate carrier is so comfortable compared to anything I've had in the past. I walked into the store so I cant speak to the shipping process but I wanted to at least hop online and say how much I like the carrier."

Great Vest

Best ever

"Good price, and fits amazing"

— Hector (5/5)

Great

"I ordered two light-write patches, one in black, one in coyote. They are not a small, two-loop patch as depicted in most of these photos. They are actually as depicted in the second and third video from the left. The difference? The actual patch has a pocket and has a larger foot print."

— Thomas B. (5/5)

5.11 Tac Tech Carrier

"This tool allows one to have pens,glasses,light ,cards,&anything else you might need to take a note write a ticket without having to fumble from pocket to pocket because it is now attached to your clip board. Useful to me on day one."

— Jimmrtnz (4/5)

This Carrier is good for workouts

"Decent plate carrier but the price is high. Great for work outs."

— Chris Y. (4/5)

Easy to adjust

"Very simple to adjust and thread together. Only improvement I'd like to see if the ability for the shoulder straps to adjust in the front for guys with bigger necks. Even with that is it a solid piece of kit."

— Tc (4/5)

Comfy

"great as a place carrier and weight vest. Fits all sizes."

I'm 5'6 140 lbs. what size should I wear?: This 5.11 Vest is only available in one size.
5.11 was supposed to release a multicam version of this in the fall after it's debut, did they ever do that?: Good question, Based on what I can see they have not made one yet and unfortunately at this point if they are going to do one it will probably be released after the new year.
What is the difference between the 5.11 Tactical TacTec Plate Carrier and the 5.11 Tactical TacTec Plate Carrier Xl? If there is a difference in size, please provide difference in dimensions.: Looks like the XL comes with an Extended waistband to help with bigger sizes. Unfortunately 5.11 does not list dimensions on the sizing.
