I have had cheaper plate carriers in the past and this blows them out of the water. Once you get it and try it on..you will love it. It is very comfortable. I’m a taller guy, 6’6″ and it fits well. I was able to fit 11×14 steel plates in it. They protrude only a little at the bottom but they are completely secure with the bottom securing strap.
Travis Smith –
Nothing to say that hasn’t been said before. Excellent construction, well thought-out design, more comfortable than any other PC that i have used. Padding on the shoulders and down the back makes extended periods of use suck less.
Lucas –
Love it, comfortable, light, low profile, good quality. Price was high yes but I think this is one I will have for a long time and will pay for itself.

My first PC. Fit is great. Comfortable on the chest/back. PC sits high enough to cover vital organs and no head/neck movement is compromised. I run it currently with a response placard on the front. I got this because I wanted to have the protection needed just in case. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a PC. HRT personnel are quick to responses and answering any questions you may have.

I wanted the larger AR500 plates and the number of carriers to got those was limited. I checked out two other carriers but the HRAC was by far the winner. The construction is solid, adjustments are simple, and it is very streamlined yet comfortable. The padding on the interior of the back is clutch as well. Highly recommend for any size plates.

Need I say more? Bad ass product and it arrived in 2 days. Response placard is perfect for most situations. Awesome job!

I’m a pretty recent customer of HRT; but when I decided I needed an upgrade over the issued gear I’ve seen one website continued to show up. This carrier has an impressive amount of molecularity and adaptability. Comfort is well beyond the non-padded carriers I’m used to. What more can I say then I like my HRAC PC so much it rides shotgun in my patrol car.

My partner and I bought 2 and we can not say enough about how awesome this plate carrier is! We work in private security as well as compete in shooting matches around the world. This plate carrier is built to take the daily abuse like no other and the weight displacement is unmatched. I’ve spent hours in mine and you hardly notice. It breaths, its comfortable, and above all I trust it.

Great build quality. Awesome customer service. Had a small hiccup in the manufacturing process but HRT was very open with communicating it and even offered a refund, something a whole load of companies wouldn’t dream of doing. Have already recommended to colleagues and friends.
Brad –
Great carrier. Fits 10”x12” steel plates w/build up coat and trauma pads nice and snug but doesn’t feel like it’s stressing the stitching much at the same time. Easy to make size adjustments. Shoulder padding is just enough without feeling bulky (although if you have a thick neck like me the insides will pinch and rub a little). Very easy to move/twist around and in. Love the modularity options (waiting to budget swift clip panel arrangements). Quality piece and highly recommended if you’re not required to have a quick release system.

Outstanding plate carrier. Thank you.

Probably the most comfortable pc I’ve ever owned. The pontoons really keep the corners of the plates off of me eliminating my usual hotspots at the lower corners and provides an air channel for circulation. They also eliminate the need for backers if you have stand alone plates. Plate pockets secure extremely well on the bottom (with a rip cord to access), enough room for plate and spall sheet in the front, might be able to squeeze a thin map pack/poncho in with the rear plate.
I purchased the adaptive pc so I could utilize my existing hydration system. It secures well and doesn’t flop around using the Molle loops, but the RAC model looks like it would be rock solid with the zip on systems (and adaptability). The front, well, you’re gonna need a placard.
Shoulder straps adjust quick and easy, angle is good, no chaffing around my neck, comfortable but not heavily padded, loops are good for hydration tubes or comm wires. M-4 rifle shoulders well.
Supplied cummerbund is quick donning/doffing, probably a good idea for maritime work, but I went with the upgraded cummerbund to accommodate side plate pockets and radio/IFAK/mag pouches.
Good color, matches Other popular manufacturers gear.
Medium size fits 10” x 12” plates well, might need a large if your running really thick polymer plates.
Michael –
The website had me expecting a long lead-time for delivery, but it was on my doorstep within a week. The carrier feels very well built: all the stitching is tight, the material is sturdy, and construction is just solid all around. I loaded the carrier with AR500 10X12 III+ plates and they fit very securely.

Great gear

Very good product. Would recommend using for LE when get called to a hot call and need extra protection or get the cummerbund and use for tactical situations. I like the how “flat” it is by the chest area. Doesnt change cheek weld too much. The raised inner channels are awesome. Gonna order the extra padding for air circulation. Fast shipping and good communication.

Best plate carrier for the money! I love the fact that I can easily shoulder my weapon without all kinds of bulky material being in the way. The fabric is awesome and durable and the size and beyond perfect. The carrier almost (at least for my build) 5”11 200lbs feels like it was tailored to my upper body!

Ordered during the shutdown due to covid, which really delayed manufacturing/shipping (completely understandable), but HRT was great about keeping me updated about delays and the delivered product is great.

The HRAC plate carrier along with the Maximus placard is simply fantastic. My questions along the way were answered quickly and I would not hesitate to do business with HRT again.
Currently utilizing the budget friendly LAPG Level IV Plates and they fit perfectly.
The shoulder straps are simple and unobtrusive which makes it better when shouldering a rifle.
The single strap cummerbund works but upgrading to the Molle or QR cummerbund is a no brainer here.
Stitching on all seams appears very durable. I tried stressing the seams while the plates were in the carrier and they wouldn’t budge.
Adjustability is great I’m 5’10 180 and it fits snug and doesn’t move around at all.
I’m in Arizona so as with any plate carrier it gets hot. Would recommend the pontoon set for added airflow if you’re in a hellish environment.
Overall very happy with this carrier and HRT. This carrier is just as good if not better than some of the bigger names in the industry. Look forward to putting this carrier through more abuse.

Very well made, super lite and the material is pliable and moves very well conspired to other carriers that are very stiff and you have to wear them in. The Ranger green matches the Esstac brand mag pouches very closely too.

I am really pleased with this carrier. Channels really help with the sweat, incredibly modular, and priced right. It was a tight fit with my 10×12 ceramic plates with trauma pads but I suppose you want it tight. I have not taken this on any hard training sessions yet but working out with it fully loaded I have been pleased with it. HRT was really easy to work with after a shipping issue and instantly made it right. Fine company and good products.

Thoughts: currently I have in it 2x Lvl3+ ar500 (8lb/ea) plates with trauma pads, an HRT rifle placard, side elastic pouch, tourniquet dongle pouch, 4x ar mags 2x glock mags, all loaded. I am a husky American.
The Plate Carrier has a tight fit for a 10×12 plates (better tight than loose). With everything adjusted correctly for my body the weight distribution is good. Despite most of the weight on the front of the plate carrier, it doesn’t sag forward. It actually doesn’t shift around at all in normal motions. When my chest rotates the PC moves with it perfectly. After removing the internal pontoons it is pretty comfortable. The adjustment range is very large. I am using the smallest shoulder adjustments to get correct height on the plates. There’s 1 1/2” of excess Velcro attachment that I tuck in behind the shoulder-pad wrap.
Pros:
•no-nonsense shoulder straps makes shouldering a stock easy.
•an actual internal sleeve for changing pontoon inserts
•shoulder pads work well
•buckle system for the chest band works well.
•has bands for 2 or 3 leg cummerbunds, and space for a full passthrough cummerbund. This makes the plate carrier compatible with many cummerbunds.
•the shoulder straps and the chest band don’t loosen when wearing heavy plates.
Cons:
•Excess stitching on the bottom corners, pinching abdomen occasionally. This is due to the plate retention design, which is passable. If moving towards a traditional retention design would eliminate the lower corner stitching, please do that. Not a huge deal, but the first thing I would fix. Actually, just please fix this.
•the internal pontoon “padding” that came inside the pontoon sleeves caused the entire weight of the PC to rest on two pressure points on my chest and back, and was extremely uncomfortable. This is super minor, as you can remove the internal padding. (Please, HRT, don’t ship the PCs with this padding inside. It’s not worth it.)
Overall, I’m glad I went with this one over my other options. I almost got the TT Rouge or the SPC, but this one exceeded my expectations. Many competitors’ PCs are about equal in cost to this PC plus the HRT placard, so HRT gives me more options

Comfortable and really well made. My only criticism is in regard to the internal pontoons. They are a little too thick and they push the PC a bit too far off the body. I also wish there was cushioning in the space inbetween the pontoons.

Shipped in declared lead time. Molle straps feel like cheap material, but are still sewn in well. Go with the quick release cummerbund, the Velcro cummerbund is annoying with having to lift the placard. The cummerbunds have to be tied in the back, instructions on line really leave it open for you to decide, and adjustment is difficult if you’re a bigger guy. I’m 6’3 220 lbs and it’s close to not working for me. 10×12 level 4 plates fit, but it isn’t the best fit, the material bends weird at the top, it’s not cut the same as the plates. Other than a weird warping with the plates, annoying cummerbund, and the height level of and pouches attached to the cummerbund (stupid high), it appears to be well constructed so far.

Good fit. Well made. Simple but versatile. As comfortable as armor/carrier can be. Get the pontoons and it’s comfortable for the whole day.

This is the perfect plate carrier system. It fits like a glove with no extra useless material.
The Shoulder straps are perfectly placed so you can shoulder your weapon without touching the thick padding on the straps throwing off your aim.
The material and stitching feels rugged and strong.
cummerbund allows you to quickly adjust the plate carrier to whatever clothing you are wearing.
But most of all The easy change of the placard’s that is awesome!
In my opinion this is a top-notch plate carrier I would not choose anything over it I am completely 100% sold and I will tell others to buy it as well.

Like all HRT products this plate carrier is very high quality. The biggest difference between this one and my HRT RAC plate carrier is the zippers for the back pouches the RAC has. However there is plenty of molle to make up for it

Great build quality. Fits and feels great. The added cushion/padding on the back of the plate bags help with comfort and airflow. Plenty of options for placards and other accessories to add to it. My 10×12 plates fit nice and snug with no wiggle room. There is a little bit of extra room on the bottom of the plate bags with 10×12’s. It will accept any type of lace up style(in the back) cummerbund.

I don’t like the way the plates are installed. The Velcro flap should’ve went to the back of the plate. It would’ve made it easier to push up underneath the plate and remove it. If you’re going to keep it the same maybe send a thin plate shaped plastic peace to help insert the plates and the flap. I like the plate carrier it works well and it’s comfortable.
