Plate Carrier

[pip73]

OK guys need a bit of advise/help, im looking too find in the not to distant future too buy a plate carrier, but... I am only a lil guy 5,2". So im looking for one which is a snug fit for my height and build (and im skinny). So recommendations would be nice on what would be good and what to stay away from.

Many thanks PIP

Re: Plate Carrier

I have a clone of a EI plate carrier (med size) and on me 6'6" 230lbs it looked like a bra.

However I do have a RS EI one in larger & thats better but still a little tight on me. At your next skermish keep your eyes open & ask the other harder targets (smaller people) what they have and see if you can try them on....

EI is the way forward in my opinion.

Has side adjusters and goes on like a normal jacket with velcro at the front
