This is just the carrier for the armor.
This vest, XS - SM, has internal ballistic material and an external pocket for soft armor plates. Here's a quote from the manufacturer on the material and the pocket for the plates.
"Front panel measures 13.5"W X 13.5"H (from bottom of neck cut). Rear panel measures 16.5"W X 14.75"H (from bottom of neck cut).
Exterior body armor pockets for soft panels. Exterior body armor pockets will accommodate up to 8.5"W X 11"H soft armor panels."
Yes. The Extra Small - Small size will accommodate hard plates up to 8.5"x11", while the Medium sizes and up will accommodate hard plates up to 11"x14".
The Vism Discreet Plate Carrier Vest does not come with plates. This Vism Discreet Plate Carrier Vest is just the vest.
The Vism Discreet Plate Carrier Vest in size medium - 2XL will accommodate soft armor or hard armor plates that are 11"W x 14"H. The size XS - S will only be able to fit plates that are 8.5"W x 11"H.
The Vism Discreet Plate Carrier Vest that I would recommend is the medium - 2XL. This carrier has a maximum cummerbund extension of 57" to fit a large array of body types. It also has 2" shoulder straps and loop fasteners that are 2"H x 9"L.
Vism does not provide weight information for their Discreet Plate Carrier Vest. I would recommend reaching out to them directly for more information.
Size XS - S will accommodate plates that are 8.5"W x 11"H. They have a max cummerbund extension of 40"
Size Medium - 2XL will accommodate plates up to 11"W x 14"H. This size has a cummerbund that has a max extension of 57".
Depends on which size vest you order. Small holds 10x12 and the Med-2X holds 11x14.
