Reviews & Ratings for Guard Dog Body Armor Sheppard Plate Carrier — 24 reviews — Page 1

I spent a while going back and forth between this carrier, the Redemption Tactical Crusader 2.0 carrier, and the Agilite Sub-Zero carrier. Aside from the fact that this carrier was the cheapest of the bunch, I liked that it included five AR mag punches as well as the admin pouches on the back. If you’re not running side plates, you can store a couple mags in the Velcro side pockets as well. The quality also seems to exceed the price. It securely holds my heavy RTS Tactical 10x12 Level III+ plates no problem. The carrier is fully adjustable to ensure a snug fit (for reference, I’m 5’10”, 185 lbs). The only drawback I’ve found was due to the thickness of the shoulder straps, it does obscure my shoulder pocket a bit when shouldering a rifle, but I’m sure this can be mitigated through training. All in all, I’m very happy with this carrier and for the price, I think you’d be hard-pressed to find a better option.

This carrier looks exactly like the picture shows and uses quality materials. The shoulder links are metal, and the side joints are a hard plastic. I have only worn it a few times and have found it to be comfortable. All of the exterior stitching is well done and rugged. I only had one problem while installing Guard Dog plates. There is a flap with Velcro straps that fold around the bottom of the plates. I really like this design, and it holds the plates steady. The issue is that this flap only has a single row of stitching. I made the mistake of pulling on it while pushing the plate in and the seam tore for about an inch before I stopped. The flap still functions because the Velcro holds it together and it's not noticeable. I would have been in trouble if I tore the whole thing off. The manufacturer should add another row of stitching to fix this problem. I installed the Guard Dog OPMOD Lvl 4 plates. They are a tight fit but with some patience and a lot of wiggling they got in fine. Other than those slight hiccups, I highly recommend this carrier.

I was concerned about a one size fits all plate carrier and when I received my Guard Dog Body Armor plate carrier these concerns were legit. I'm 6'2" 255lbs and I wear XXL shirts and jackets. This plate carrier barely fits without the plates in it! Once I added the ceramic plates, I could barely get it fastened. XXL are big on me so to say this plate carrier fits XXL is simply not true.

Nice cut quality looking piece and the optional bags on the rest and side mag holders really worked out for me.

My first tacticle vest and I love it. Plenty of space to hang needed gear.

Really love the feel of it I put my steel plates in 10x12. Works no problem great plate carrier comes with a lot of molle equipment as well I give it a 9.5 out of 10

The carrier is solidly constructed. It came with extra pouches that come in handy when not using side plates. I'm very happy with the purchase. It's one of the best carriers for the money I've bought.

Great plate carrier and even better price. Im 6 feet tall and fits me perfectly. Very comfortable and made out of good material. Comes with extra mag pouches and bags. You can organize it however fits best for you.

Love the carrier. Only a couple small complaints……I also bought the UHMWPE level III plates and it took a while to muscle them in. It’s way too tight and will never get them back out. Also pulled the stitching out of the weird loops on the shoulder straps so I could get rid of them. All in all I am very happy with the total system. It has a lot of options and you can remove what you don’t need.

You can never go wrong with guard dog body armor and plate carriers my opinion Guard Dog and RTS tactical are the top tier armor get your guard dog products they sell out quick
