The Heritage Plate has been independently tested in accordance with NIJ 0101.06 threat levels through Oregon Ballistics (OBL), and H.P. White Laboratories.

The Veritas Plate Carrier

500D Cordura® Nylon, bar-tacked at all stress points for high durability, makes up the majority of the carrier’s material. It also features a padded 3D mesh for comfort, ventilation, and customizability, including the ability to accommodate a cummerbund, side-plate pockets, and removable shoulder straps. On the carrier, there are also dual admin pockets with Hypalon® easy-to-grip pull-tabs and an upper admin pouch with elastic keepers. Front & rear Velcro® ID Panels allow you to further personalize your carrier with patches or other accessories.   

Extremely adjustable, the Veritas can be made to fit from a Medium to an XXL. It is compatible with any trapezoid 10”x12” plates (square 10”x12” plates are slightly too large for the design) as well as any smaller sizes when used with an Adaptive Plate insert.
