WHICH PLATE SIZE IS RIGHT FOR ME?
Personal preference is the key factor when choosing body armor. The wearer must feel comfortable to maximize the system's effectiveness.
Proper fit ensures the armor stays in place during dynamic movement. It should cover your vital organs while allowing a full range of motion.
Standard sizing was 10”x12”. Military specs now offer Small to XL. Size Medium fits the 95th percentile of all military personnel.
We use height to help determine proper fitment. See the general reference guide below. Build and preference remain the most important factors.
