plate carrier
Ballistic plate holder
A plate carrier is a vest designed to hold ballistic armor plates, worn by military personnel, law enforcement, and security contractors.
Unlike soft body armor, plate carriers accommodate rigid ceramic or steel inserts that protect against rifle rounds.
The term distinguishes these modular tactical vests from older flak jackets: He loaded magazines into the pouches on his plate carrier.
