How To Set Up A Plate Carrier

First things first; why are you wearing a plate carrier. You must first answer this question before moving on to the next steps. Are you simply wearing it for protection against being shot? If so, what kind of bullets are you concerned about getting shot with; .223 or 9mm (or one of the many other rifle or pistol rounds)?

Are you yourself carrying a weapon? If so, what kind of weapon; a rifle or a pistol. If so, you will need to carry additional ammo. How much ammo will you need to carry. Maybe you're carrying a rifle and a pistol as a secondary weapon. In this case, you'll have to carry ammo for both weapons.

All these things must be taken into consideration prior to setting up your plate carrier. But for now, let's start off with the type of plates you need.

Asset Tactical Jeans are configured with lots of pockets to hold everything you carry. The one pocket that caught my attention, though, is the sewn-in appendix CCW holder that holds my Hellcat very nicely.

I also like how my knives tend to disappear in the upper front pocket. I did plenty of bending and kicking in these jeans, fully loaded with my EDC gear, and they don’t feel restrictive at all.
