WHICH PLATE SIZE IS RIGHT FOR ME?
Personal preference is the single most important determining factor when choosing the right size armor for any individual. The wearer must feel comfortable in whatever system and size they choose in order to maximize the effectiveness of any armor system. That having been said, the prior standard for all plates was 10βx12β. Military specifications now include a full range of sizes from Small to Extra Large, however size Medium, 9.5βx12.5β is considered the ideal fit for the 95th percentile, meaning that Medium is designed to fit 95% of all military personnel.Β
In order to provide a more easily discernible size chart we focus on the height of an individual as the most important factor in determining proper fitment. See the outline below for a general height / plate size reference. Keep in mind, personal build, and personal preference are the most important factors.
If you purchase a set of plates that you feel is the wrong fit, call us for guidance and to get a quick and easy exchange.
