    Shellback Tactical Patriot

    Posted by B. Wilde on Sep 28th 2023

    It's been about 3 years since I bought one for myself and after all the abuse I've put it through, I gotta say, it has held up nicely and is definitely one of the more comfortable plate carriers I've worn. So much so that after my brother said that he wanted a plate carrier for his birthday, I got him one as well which he enjoys thoroughly.

    Patriot Plate Carrier

    Posted by Carter on Nov 1st 2022

    I'm a slim guy at 5'11 138lbs It fits very nicely. Although I wish the plate compartment was a bit larger. And the shoulder straps are way too long I had to pull them down to the chest velcro, great quality vest though.

    Patrol/K9 Handler duty use

    Posted by Greg Dunn on Jun 12th 2022

    I wanted something lightweight to carry my soft armor and trauma pads, add my taser, med pouch and admin pouch. Keep it simple for K9 Handler duties. The Patriot fit the bill, a lot cooler than my previous PC, and comfortable even on 14-17 hour days. Would recommend to anyone wanting all day comfort but still maintaining a high degree of protection.

    Great Plate Carrier

    Posted by Thomas on Nov 29th 2021

    This plate carrier is an awesome purchase for the price. Built well, lots of standard features, and plenty of adjustability. It's fairly comfortable as well.

    Great Carrier at a Great price

    Posted by Koa Kia on Oct 20th 2020

    Purchased this carrier for work and all I can say is wow! Fit is great, it’s comfortable to wear during my shift and has just enough space for everything I need. If you’re in the market for more of a slick carrier this is the one. You won’t be disappointed.

    Quality carrier at a good price.

    Posted by Ben on Oct 6th 2020

    I watched a Mr. Guns and Gear video on armor for dummies and saw him talk about shellback plate carriers. They looked comfortable, roomy, and well made. Since purchasing this plate carrier I can confirm all three of those. This carrier easily fits level 4 ceramic plates from LAPG which is what I have riding in it right now. This carrier has tons of MOLLE mounting points to add on mag pouches, coms equipment, water systems etc. Would I buy this again? In a heartbeat.

    American Made Greatness

    Posted by Matt on Sep 3rd 2020

    With the world unfolds before our eyes... I knew it was time to order plates and a plate carrier. Luckily I stumbled across this fine American company located in South Carolina. Just a hop, skip and a jump from my home, Jacksonville, Florida. Very pleased with my Patriot Plate Carrier and I've had some friends follow my lead. So far 2 have just received theirs while a few more are waiting on their order.

    Perfect for Range Safety Officer

    Posted by Sgt Kenny R. on May 27th 2020

    This is my 2nd plate carrier from Shellback , 1st was an Active Shooter and I kept it in my car when not using it .. its perfect for summer time use outdoors . After retiring I started working at an indoor gun range and had several compliments on it., Now I am employed there full time (my choice) and upgraded to a better vest as on several occasions novices have pointed handguns and rifles in the wrong directions -- AT ME !!! Thanks for making this vest in RED as required in my job performance
