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.

Gucci and well worth it

Come on people you know its good you know its quality, the customization is unfathomable and it can be scaled any way you want, even for smaller people such as myself its not overencumbering.

Conquer all

This carrier replaced my AVS.

Bought the ARC V2 to replace my AVS that was getting long in the tooth. Some might say the ARC V2 is the "clout carrier", but that's far from the case. This carrier is fantastic.
It's hard to beat the AVS in terms of comfort, but the ARC V2 somehow does, and does it in a package comparable to the size of the JPC.

This carrier is so well thought out that reading the product description alone doesn't do it justice. Each feature is fantastic to have, and the material quality is top tier.
Genuinely, it's hard to find a negative about the ARC V2.

ARC Carrier V2

By far the most comfortable carrier I have put on. Holds weight well with little fatigue and there are so many options to customize the fit, it would be impossible to not make this work perfectly. All accessories go together seamlessly as well which is nice so there aren't any issues with add-ons. They thought of just about everything.

Definition of Excellence

I have wore a loooot of plate carriers during 10 years in the military. However, after all these years, I just can say I have only have one PC that suits me perfectly and I feel I can fully trust in our combat operations, and it is the ARC V2. The design is perfect, I love the cable management, the materials, everything is perfect.

Either I need to hit chest more or go on an insane cut to reach 0% body fat

TLDR: Love the carrier. The Large/XL shoulder straps are too long. Or I need to hit chest more.

Have a Gen 1 and knew I wanted the Gen 2 when the Status pads replaced the old pontoons. Got the Small/Med but medium Rev H ESAPIs with medium Velocity Systems IIIA soft armor don't fit great. Exposed hook on bottom flap and could not raise plates any higher with all tabs loose. At 6ft 200lb, I should use Large plates. But Large USMC carriers are massive so I stick to mediums. The tabs let me dial in Medium plates with backers even into a Large carrier, but the shoulder straps cannot be shrunk further and covered up the 1inch webbing for direct pack integration (Arbor Arms Tradesman and PC Panel).
