dimensions of ballistic plates compatible with the Guardian plate carrier tactical vest

What ballistic plates fit the Guardian Plate Carrier?

Size M: 31,5 x 24,5 cm

Size L: 34 x 26,5 cm

Depending on the manufacturer, the dimensions of ballistic plates may vary. We allow for a plate tolerance of approximately 1cm due to the elasticity of the pockets. The Guardian Plate Carrier is compatible, among others, with SAPI standard plates for sizes M and L. Before purchasing, it's important to measure your existing ballistic plates to avoid mistakes. The Guardian is compatible with the most popular shapes of ballistic plates, namely E-Cut (SAPI/ESAPI), Swimmer Cut, and Shooter Cut.
