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, Selected Cummerbund and Shockcord.
Please Note: Cummerbund Size will correspond to ARC Carrier sizing.

Love this company from the service (it was sent in a day and im in downunder) to the quality of the goods. Good are insane good quality and have huge variety of how you can set up ur vest. Can do insane cable management taht uou won’t see any wiers and gun won’t catch on them so very f good. Also very conforable and adjustable for my lats correctly. Body argonimic insanly good. Gave a quick run in it its not hot in it. Also ypu dont feel loke a log in in very flexible system. Recommend recomended recommend 5 out of 5 stars. Will be getting back to thos company for sure.
This carrier is pretty damn great. It’s lightweight, well made, and has features that make it fit really well to most bodies. It’s pricey but you often get what you pay for and this has been one of my favorite carriers so far. There a few cons worth noting but it detracts little from how the overall carrier performs. The shoulder straps provide comfort for the price of being a little bulky, not a big deal, the biggest issue is the fitting. If you need to tighten them down there’s not a lot of wiggle room before the straps were covering the front buckles. The cummerbund is a pain in the butt to install but the elastic stretch is firm and has a secure feel. The top of the cummerbund is almost sharp tho, it could use a cap of some sort. Those would be my only cons at the moment and again, barely a detractor from the whole. But people with smaller frames should be aware that they may have the issue of the shoulder straps impeding the shoulder buckles for the pack. Great carrier, hope the placard comes back in stock sometime soon. Keep up the great work Shaw, cheers
let me start off by saying this thing fits perfectly on your chest and is very easy to adjust to get a perfect fit. but if you are a conventional infantryman, the kdh soft armor for the msv is one size bigger than your actual plates, so it will not fit and require you to dx it to a smaller size OR buy something like the ferro soft armor backers.
the Cumberband also does not wrap around your torso like other PC, it makes a perfect straight line from front to back so putting magazine pouches on your Cumberland can be a little awkward and require a lot of fine tuning to get it right.
but if you are going from a issued vest to this it is a night amd day difference compared to a gen 4 iotv and msv gen 1 or 2.
unlike issued plate carriers this is a very rigid system, there's no movement from it when you are moving or running around but the cumberband easily adjusts on its own when you are sitting or putting on a thicker clothing item. it also sits much higher allowing you to wear a gun belt or over the waist belt, so your mags will not get caught in the cumberband or try and dig into your sides like traditional vests do.
there's also lots of room for you to route cable leeds for your coms so no more 550 cord or zip ties.
the only genuine con ive found is adjusting the shoulder straps can be a pain since they are different lengths, and you have to completely unvelcro the entire shoulder system to make even the slightest adjustment.
