John's Body Armor Loadout: Best WPS Plate Carrier Loadout, Setup & Body Armor

Please Note: This loadout now includes two HighCom Guardian 3s9m Level III++ Multi Curve SAPI Medium body armor plates instead of two ShotStop GT2 plates. Plates are shipped separately and currently have a 4-6 week lead time.

When it comes to body armor setups, there are a lot of options out there. We decided to make the choice a little bit easier for everybody and create a combo that has John's seal of approval inside and out.

This loadout starts off with the RAC Plate Carrier, a versatile carrier that is the backbone of any good loadout. But what is a plate carrier with no plates to carry? How about we throw in two of the Guardian RSTP SA+ Multicurve Body Armor Plates from HighCom, which have been special threat tested against the 5.56mm / M855 Green Tip round. On top of that, we include the Maximus Placard and Dual Removeable GP Pouches to give you the ability and versatility to store gear and other essentials. Whatever your mission is, know that you are prepared for it with one of the most advanced and adaptable armor systems on the market today.

  • RAC Plate Carrier - Multicam
    • Proprietary Dual back panel zippers for user configuration

    Surprisingly Comfortable & Light Weight (Even to an untrained civilian like me.)

    Posted by Jordan K on Mar 28th 2025

    Hey! This seems like a high quality product. I have no prior experience with plate carriers (other than briefly trying on a national guard friend's steel plates), but these were highly adjustable and exceptionally comfortable even only over a tee shirt. We're a full time RV family, so everything we take with us needs to be multi-purpose and or light weight, and these are currently working as a great weight vest for running. (If interested you can see me running with them here @ForceOfSound (I'm currently 6ft & 220lb & have a longer torso than many people): https://youtube.com/shorts/vxJjpWBhGHE). The magazine retention is great and also secures an i-phone SE perfectly. Glad I went with this recommended product. If I were going to give any critical feedback, I'd say the plates are a little smaller than I expected, but I suppose the tradeoff is weight and mobility.

    Fit question

    Posted by John on Jan 14th 2024

    I am 6'3", will this size be a good fit for me? What are your suggestions for my frame (tall, thin)?
