The ARC Carrier V2 stands as a best in class overt combat arms plate carrier system and was born from a lack of options on the market and a lack feature rich load bearing platforms that would suit the needs of Infantrymen, SOF and SWAT teams alike. The ARC Carrier is designed around providing innovative features, a comfortable chassis, and uninhibited modularity so it can be set up for your particular mission. The ARC Carrier features our innovative Spider Tab System that allows different plate size, shape and thickness to be used and this doubles as fantastic cable management for radios and their PTTs and antennas. On the inner side our StratusFit™ Pads provide comfort and ventilation while our ARC Shoulder Pads offer comfort to bear the load. The front of the carrier can accept most industry standard placards and the rear plate bag can accept both 'lash on' and Velcro style cummerbunds.
Complete Kit Includes: Front & Rear Plate Bags, Shoulder Straps, Shoulder Pads & StratusFit™ Pads
Please Note: Cummerbund Size will correspond to ARC Carrier sizing.

Former Infantryman here. While the price tag may make you pause, this is a definite “buy once cry once” situation. Having had experienced the IOTV gen 1-4 all the way to the new MSV systems and some Crye/first spear options, I have to say this carrier to me is neck and neck in terms of comfort and load bearing with the coveted Crye AVS. However, I think the ARCs modularity and base weight gives it a clear edge above. This is NOT a “slick” carrier incapable of supporting the needs of actual protracted operations. This is a solution capable of carrying armor, 7+ magazines, sustainment, NAV, breaching equipment, and comms equipment required of a warfighter or even just a prepared citizen with ease and comfort, this is the very best option available on the market currently in my humble opinion. Thank you Shaw team for such a great solution!
The most comfortable plate carrier I’ve ever worn. The arc shoulder pads and stratusfit pc pads are absolute game changers.
Very very solid plate carrier. Very modular and scalable.
