  • 600D Oxford Polyester
  • MOLLE Webbing loops
  • Front, rear & side plate pockets

If you're looking for a plate carrier with maximum coverage, the Delta Armory Direct Action Plate Carrier Vest is exactly that! This plate carrier is made from 600D Oxford Polyester fabric with polymer buckles and steel snap buttons, designed similarly to old-school soft armour & plate combo carriers like the RAV and CIRAS, offering superb coverage, ideal for CQB. 

The Direct Action Plate Carrier has pockets at the front and rear for SAPI style plates along with smaller side plate pockets inside the cummerbund, giving you all-around protection if you choose to run the DA Plate Carrier with mock plates (available separately). If you choose to skip the plates, you'll find the DA Plate Carrier to provide plenty of protection on its own thanks to its internal padding, with the option to remove the cummerbund for more agility in outdoor environments. 

As we might expect, the Direct Action Plate Carrier is equipped with MOLLE webbing loops on the front, rear and sides, allowing MOLLE pouches to be mounted wherever needed to complete the mission at hand. Velcro panels are also present on the front and rear, letting you customise your rig with Morale and I.D patches, either to make your fellow skirmishers smile or make your carrier look more professional. 

Sizing-wise, the DA Plate Carrier should fit most body types, offering a wide range of adjustment via the elasticated cummerbund and velcro-equipped shoulder straps. If you aren't a fan of modern low-profile carriers and prefer more coverage and load-bearing capacity, the Delta Armory Direct Action Plate Carrier Vest is ideal!

Description

If you find yourself at the head of the pack and you take more than your fair share of hits, the Delta Armory Direct Action Plate Carrier Vest is designed with you in mind! Patterned after old-school soft armour/plate carrier combo rigs with some neat modern features, the Direct Action Plate Carrier provides far more coverage than the typical modern plate carrier and far more MOLLE attachment loops for pouches, holsters and other MOLLE equipment.

Inside the front MOLLE flap, we are treated to a hidden admin pouch secured with a steel snap button, giving you a slimline place to store maps and other objective-related paperwork. Lifting the front flap and disconnecting the cummerbund will also allow you to don the Direct Action plate carrier, an easy job even with MOLLE pouches mounted.

On the front and rear, we are treated to velcro sections which double as additional MOLLE loops, allowing you to mount Morale and I.D patches to give your carrier the personal touch. Each shoulder pad includes comms cable and hydration tube routing, keeping your cables neat and out of the way, avoiding any mid-skirmish tangles. The shoulder pads can also be removed to access the ride height adjustment beneath, taking the form of velcro which can be adjusted to suit practically any body type.

The pre-installed cummerbund is equipped with 3 rows of MOLLE attachment loops and a pocket for mock side plates on each side, meaning you can pad the Direct Action Plate Carrier out so you never feel the sting of a hit. Beneath the cummerbund, we have additional straps with polymer buckles, offering full adjustment to compliment the paracord adjustment of the elasticated cummerbund, guaranteeing a secure fit.

The front and rear plate bags can accept standard SAPI-style mock armour plates, though the built-in padding provides plenty of protection on its own. If it's a particularly hot day or you want to move faster, you can also remove the cummerbund entirely via the paracord at the rear and velcro at the front, providing more airflow to your sides at the small price of slightly reduced protection.

On the rear, the Direct Action Plate Carrier is equipped with a drag handle, designed in the real world to allow friendlies to drag a stricken soldier to cover for medical treatment. In an Airsoft skirmish, you'll never need this facility, thankfully, though the drag handle is a great way to carry your carrier from the car to the safe zone. 

If you're a tall or well-built skirmisher looking for a plate carrier that isn't far too small, the Delta Armory Direct Action Plate Carrier Vest is ideal. Equally so, those who want more protection than modern low-profile carriers, the Direct Action Plate Carrier will keep you smiling while the BBs are flying!
