RTS Tactical Advanced Sleek 2.0 Plate Carrier Review

We had the pleasure of reviewing RTS Tactical's Advanced Sleek 2.0 Plate Carrier. In this day in age body armor is not only an essential tool for LEO, military and security but also for civilian use. Situations that could call for body armor for civilian use could range from finding  your self amongst civil unrest or in the middle of a active threat situation. 

​RTS designed the sleek 2.0 carrier to give you the added protection of holding front and back 10x12 plates but it offers a low profile look giving it the ability to be concealed. With the villianizion in many states agaisnt those who chose to protect them selves by wearing body armor, the added ability to be able to conceal it is a bonus.

Enough about the reason lets talk about the features.
This carrier can hold 10x12 Level IIIA soft plates, level III, level III+ steel and Level IV Ceramic plates in the front and rear. The carrier I tested has Level III+ steel plates.

The carrier is very streamlined.  If you remove the padded covers for the shoulder strap it makes it even easier to conceal. The padded shoulder straps are also a nice touch for long wears.

My carrier weighed in at 16lbs and with that in mind it was still pretty comfortable to wear. It is made with 8mm thick closed cell EVA foam. The shell is constructed of advanced stretch Cordua Nylon. The materials are tear, scuff and abrasion resistant. The carrier is also water repellant. The build quality seems solid. 

On range day we did a lot of moving and shooting drills some included shooting from prone in dirt and grass and the carrier still looked clean after. Also the carrier really hugged my body when I was on the move.

All in all I think this is a solid carrier and I would encourage all to be prepared for anything and having the option to conceal it is a bonus for civilians or covert operators.
