236: The Plate Carrier Fit, Function, and Setup over the last 15 Years

Talk Back to MeBody armor in the form of a plate carrier has been around for longer than many of us have been alive. In that time, quite a bit has changed, not only in how it is worn, but how individuals set up their "kit." In this episode, follow along as a bit of history, lessons learned, and common practices come together in what to look for when setting up a plate carrier. Not the ideal load bearing equipment for every scenario, the plate carrier has become a common use item amongst military, law enforcement, and citizens. More than a so-called bulletproof vest, this piece of gear is typically used to carry ammo, medical, and communication equipment just to name a few.
