Overview

The AC1 is a minimalist plate carrier that has the ability to scale to an individual's needs. It comes ready to roll out of the box in its slick configuration with an elastic cummerbund and low-profile shoulder pads. The AC1 also comes with two ITW QASM buckles for attaching most standard placards and some chest rigs.

Consider adding a shingle or a placard to carry more equipment or magazines. The T.REX Shingle does an excellent job of keeping the carrier slick while providing magazine-carrying capability when needed. The T.REX Placard isn't quite as low-profile but provides better mag retention and easier loading/re-indexing of magazines.

What's Included

The AC1 consists of: Front and rear plate bags, padded shoulder straps, two buckles for attaching a placard, and an elastic cummerbund with six pouches of varied sizes.

SIZING

Sizing for plate carriers is based on the size of your plates, not your body. (It is the plates that should be based on the size of your body.) To choose the correct plate carrier size, use the sizing chart and watch the setup video above.

All cummerbunds are the same length and height and should work for the vast majority of individuals. However, if you're worried about being too small or too large to wear a plate carrier, measure your torso circumference (the solar plexus is a good location from which to measure) and consult the following data:

	Min. Torso Cir.	Max. Torso Cir.
Small AC1	30"	56"
Medium AC1	32"	58"
Large AC1	34"	60"

Each cummerbund is 4" high and has six pouches total: Two 2.5″ pouches; Two 3″ pouches; Two 4″ pouches.

Made in the USA.

FAQ

What size plate carrier should I get?

Begin with the end in mind. The point of body armor is to protect your vital organs. So, start there. Size your armor plates to your body and then size your plate carrier to your plates. You can use Hesco's Hard Armor Fitting Guide to determine what size plates you need to cover your vital organs. (You can get a good idea of what size plates you need by measuring nipple to nipple and clavicle to a few inches above your belly button.)
