How to choose a tile carrier: a practical guide

When choosing protective equipment, it is important to consider not only the level of safety but also comfort. Today, many military and special services personnel prefer such equipment as the Fam.tac plate carrier. This tactical vest is designed to accommodate armour plates and additional equipment, providing reliable protection and comfort during combat and professional missions.

What is a plate carrier and how it differs from a bulletproof vest

A plate carrier is a vest with a fastening system that can be used to install ballistic plates of the required protection class. Unlike a classic bulletproof vest, the plate carrier allows for more freedom of movement, the ability to select plates and place pouches, radios, first aid kits and other accessories. This modularity makes it versatile in a wide variety of conditions — from military operations to police raids or rescue services.

The main task of the plate carrier is to protect vital organs: heart, lungs and large vessels. At the same time, the well-thought-out design allows you to wear the equipment for a long time without critical fatigue.

How to choose a tile carrier: basic criteria and tips

  1. Protection class. Choose plates depending on the threats you may face. Lightweight ceramic or composite options will strike a balance between mobility and safety.

  2. Mounting system. Modern models are equipped with MOLLE or VELCRO, which allows you to quickly and conveniently place pouches. If you plan to change the equipment frequently, choose an option with maximum modularity.

  3. Fit and adjustment. The vest should fit snugly to the body but not restrict movement. Adjustable straps and shoulder straps help to adjust the equipment to your height and build.

  4. Quick release system. In an emergency situation, it is important to be able to instantly remove the tile pusher. This feature significantly increases safety.

  5. Additional elements. Pockets for magazines, radios or hydrators make the vest more functional. It's better to consider how many and what accessories you need to place at once.

  6. Material and wear resistance. The fabric should be dense, water-repellent and tear-resistant. The service life of the equipment directly depends on this.

Advantages of Fam.tac plate carriers for the military and police

The products of this brand are distinguished by a combination of reliability and thoughtful design:

  • high degree of protection while maintaining mobility;

  • the ability to customise the vest;

  • ergonomic fit suitable for prolonged wear;

  • pockets and attachments for additional equipment;

  • durable materials that can withstand intense loads.

Thanks to this approach, the Fam.tac plate carriers have become popular among military, police and volunteers who value the versatility of their equipment.

Price and equipment options

The price of a tile carrier depends on the model, size and number of pouches. For example, the M7 PRO series kits are available in different versions — from lightweight «Skeleton» to extended versions with 11 pouches. This allows you to choose the best option depending on your tasks and budget.

The average weight of a vest with slabs varies from 3 to 7 kilograms, which is considered a comfortable figure for most users.

Where to buy a slab carrier in Ukraine: prices and delivery

You can place an order in specialised online stores, including famtac.com. Delivery is available to Kyiv, Odesa, Kharkiv, Lviv, Mykolaiv, and other cities. Before buying, you should consult with experts to choose the appropriate level of protection and equipment.

Choosing a tile carrier is a balance between safety, convenience and functionality. Consider the conditions in which the vest will be used and do not skimp on quality. Tactical equipment from Fam.tac provides reliable protection and a wide range of options for adaptation to specific tasks.
