The Adaptable Lightweight Plate Carrier (ALPC) is a minimalist, modular plate carrier constructed from the highest quality 1000 denier Cordura. Many carriers are made with 500 denier (lighter) Cordura, which in our opinion does not provide sufficient durability for long lasting use. Both front and rear plate bags split in half and secure around your plate, allowing the front base to be swapped out for any of our front base layouts.
We offer the ALPC to fit the following size plates in SAPI and SHOOTER style cuts (the ALPC will not properly fit Swimmer style plates):
- Medium
- 9.5" x 12.5" x 1.25"
- 10" x 12" x 1" (for 10x12 plates, thickness is very important, any plate thicker than 1" will not fit)
- Large
- 10.25" x 13.25" x 1"
Note: The ALPC is designed to fit plates following the SAPI sizing convention. Plates that do not follow this convention may not fit properly. Please consult the above dimensions carefully before ordering to ensure your plates will fit our carrier.
The bases of the ALPC are universally sized, so whether you purchased a medium or large, the bases will be the same. The tops are what determine sizing.
The standard front top has a 4"x6" loop velcro panel with vertical PALS webbing on either side which fit QASM buckles (included) for attaching swift clip compatible chest rigs. The enhanced version has 4 columns and 4 rows of loop velcro PALS webbing instead of the 4"x6" loop panel.
We offer three front base options. You can purchase additional front bases HERE:
- Loop base: 4"x10" loop fastener panel
- PALS Loop base: 6 columns, 5 rows of PALS webbing (MOLLE)
- 3556 base: 3x 5.56x45mm rifle mags
- 3R3P base: 3x 5.56x45mm riflem mags and 3x pistol mags
The standard rear bag is a minimalist bag while the enhanced version has loop PALS on the top and standard PALS webbing on the base. The enhanced rear bag can be used to attach a hydration pack, assault pack, or any other MOLLE compatible items.
The Mag Pockets cummerbund is constructed from 4" elastic and has integrated mag pouch cells (Short size fits 3 per side, Long size fits 5 per side) that fit 5.56x45mm rifle mags and many other items. The cummerbund can be adjusted through the rear bag cummerbund pocket and attaches to the front base using 4" First Spear tubes.
The MOLLE cummerbund has laser cut MOLLE loop panels for attaching radio pouches, side plate bags or other accessories. It is the preferred cummerbund for use with our side plate bags if you wish to run side plates.
Cummerbund Sizing
The best way to measure for the cummerbund is just under the pectoral muscles.
- Short: 32" - 38"
- Long: 40" - 46"
The ALPC comes with shoulder pads that provide extra comfort.

ALPC Plate Carrier
Got the multicam black carrier after this carrier was recommended from a Navy Seal. I’ve owned quite a few carriers but I think it’s safe to say this is gonna be my go to. And I plan on getting them in multiple patterns. The craftsmanship, stitching, and adaptability are top notch. Some carriers I’ve worn I have to make extra tight to keep it close to the body. Not this one. It’s tight but allows me to breathe if you know what I mean. And I can use my placards from HRT, Spiritus and Haley. Don’t hesitate...just give them your money.

Well made.
For the price, this is a wonderful carrier. The first spear tubes are quick don and doff, elastic cummerbund let's you breathe without constricting or loosening, and while the material is tough on skin at first, it's 1000d so im sure it'll be fine after a few wet/muddy outings. The multicam is legit multicam, not that OCP garbage, and very vibrant, even on the loop sections. It might even need some sun bleaching/mud stain before it's ready for my AO. Overall a great buy for a low pro pc, wouldn't recommend putting heavy plates (8lbs+ each) in it, but with some slick III+s it's very comfortable. I found it strange there wasn't much info/reveiwskis online, but after seeing for myself I'm glad i went for it.

ALPC
Came in a timely manner and I love everything about it. Only thing even close to a negative is the stock shoulder straps were a little thin for me personally, but some thicker and wider pads and this became my favorite plate carrier

Excellent Kit
This Kit is one of the most comfortable, and well rounded kits that I have used as a LEO in 8 years. I highly recommend it for the operational LEO.
