Important Sizing Notes:

  • Body Armor: Proper sizing is critical for protection. Too small leaves vital areas exposed, too large restricts movement.
  • Plate Carriers: Must accommodate your plate size. Size the plates first, then get matching carrier.
  • Backpacks: Torso length matters more than height. Quality packs have adjustable harness systems.
  • Duty Belts: Add 4-6 inches to waist measurement to account for gear thickness and adjustment room.
  • When in doubt: Consult size charts from specific manufacturers and try gear on when possible.
