APOC SIZING GUIDE

KEY POINTS

• Carrier Size Aligns with Plate Size: Your shirt or body size doesn't determine the carrier size.

CARRIER SIZING BASED ON HARD PLATE DIMENSIONS

• Medium: Designed for 9.5"x12.5" & Commercial 10"x12" plates (SAPI, ESAPI, Swimmer)
• Large: Designed for plates up to 10.5”x13.5" (SAPI, ESAPI, Swimmer)

CARRIER SIZING BASED ON SOFT ARMOR DIMENSIONS 

• Small: BALCS Size Small
• Medium: BALCS Size Medium

• X-Large: BALCS Size X-Large

PROPER FITMENT & PLACEMENT

• Avoid Oversizing: Oversizing can compromise your shooting stance and mobility due to extra weight.
• Ideal Placement: The plate bag should align from your jugular notch to your belly button vertically, and from nipple to nipple horizontally.

The listed dimensions are based on BALCS standardized inserts. The APOC is designed to be slightly oversized to ensure compatibility, accommodating the natural variances that may occur during the manufacturing process.

Choose your carrier carefully, ensuring it fits your soft armor, hard plates and your body for optimal performance.

Dual Pocket Design

Allows users to customize their protection by incorporating both soft and hard body armor as needed. This unique design ensures flexibility in various operational scenarios.

Cummerbund for Secure Fit

The 7-inch Hybrid MOLLE cummerbund ensures a secure and snug fit, providing optimal comfort and stability. It enables users to tailor the plate carrier to their body shape, enhancing overall wearability. Available in ROC Buckles or FIRSTSPEAR® TUBES™.

Cummerbund Flap

This flap on the APOC serves as an additional layer of security for the cummerbund. It helps keep the cummerbund in place, ensuring a snug and stable fit for the wearer. This added feature prevents the cummerbund from shifting and peeling during movement, enhancing overall comfort and safety.

Replaceable Belly Band

The APOC includes a replaceable belly band, offering additional support and security. The belly band pass-through further enhances the user experience, allowing a wide range of adjustments for a more customized and secure fit.

Placard Keeper

Built-in placard keeper integrates with Defense Mechanisms placards to ensure placards can’t peel away during a physical altercation.

The placard keeper can be stowed flat for use with legacy systems.

Badge Holder

 APOC is compatible with pin-on badges and includes an adapter for velcro badges.

Cable Pass through

The cable pass-through on the APOC is a specialized design feature intended for the convenient routing of cables, wires, or tubes. This pass-through allows for seamless management of communication equipment or other devices, facilitating a streamlined and efficient setup.

Admin Pocket

The admin pocket on the APOC is a compact, easily accessible compartment located on the front, designed for storing essential administrative tools, documents, or accessories. It helps users keep important items within quick reach.

Enhanced Webbing

Our design features enhanced webbing that provides unparalleled versatility for placard adjustments and Push-to-Talk (PTT) management. This additional webbing also seamlessly integrates with both our breaching lanyard and the Recondite Strap kit, enabling easy self-access and rapid disconnection capabilities when used with the APOC.

Shoulder Straps

Equipped with adjustable extended shoulder straps, the plate bag on our plate carrier ensures both comfort and adaptability for wearers of all sizes. These straps feature a dual-purpose design, allowing for efficient cable pass-through and the ability to tuck away excess strap material into the plate bag. This ensures a streamlined, snag-free profile that's ideal for mission-critical operations.
