Frequently asked questions about plate carriers

What is the difference between a chest rig and a plate carrier?

A chest rig is lighter, designed for mobility and quick access. A plate carrier offers more stability, coverage and expansion options with dummy plates or armour inserts.

Do I need dummy plates in my plate carrier?

Not mandatory, but dummy plates provide realistic weight, improved structure and a better fit – without adding extra load.

Can I combine a hydration pack with my plate carrier?

Yes, almost all models feature MOLLE or Velcro fastenings, allowing you to easily add a hydration pouch or camel bag. Ideal for staying hydrated during long games or missions.

What is the best plate carrier for CQB use?

Lightweight, compact models with quick-release fasteners and minimal pouches are ideal. They offer freedom of movement without compromising tactical utility.

What colours and camouflage patterns are available?

Our carriers are available in Multicam, OD Green, Coyote Tan, Wolf Grey and Black, so you can match your gear to urban, woodland or desert terrain.

Buying guide: choosing the right plate carrier

• CQB and speedsoft – Choose a lightweight carrier with minimal pouches and good ventilation.
• Milsim or outdoor missions – Go for a robust model with a hydration pack, admin pouch and radio integration.
• Beginning players – Start with a plate carrier without dummy plates for maximum freedom of movement.
• Professionals or instructors – Combine a full setup with dummy plates and chest rig for optimal balance and authenticity.

Combine your plate carrier with practical Airsoft Pouches, a Battle Belt or a Sapi dummy plate for extra comfort.

Add a Hydration Pouch for long missions, or choose Combat Shirts and Boots for a complete tactical set-up.

Go for certainty, comfort and flexibility – with a plate carrier from Airsoft Legends, you can put together a loadout that can handle any mission.
