In the operational world, few things are as important as a good plate carrier. It needs to be durable, well-designed, and fit well. Carriers that rattle around and fall apart can mean the difference between success and failure in some cases. A company well known for high-speed gear is Aegis Kinetic Group. Today, they are releasing the new Vertex 2.0 Plate Carrier and Operating System.
Vertex 2.0 Plate Carrier and Operating System
Aegis Kinetic Group has now released the Vertex 2.0 Plate Carrier and Operating System. Since the release of Vertex 1.5 two years ago, they have focused on optimizing their design approach and manufacturing processes. They aim to create a product that balances affordable production cost with a professional feature set. Initially designed for maritime applications, the Vertex has also shown its performance across various environments. This includes professional deployments to the Arctic and Ukraine.

Made from water-resistant 500D Cordura laminate and weighing 15.2 oz, the Vertex can fit any S/M/L plate variant. It uses Velcro One Wrap adjustment tabs and a loop-lined plate backer. XL plates are compatible, depending on plate thickness. Ballistic plates are top-loaded into the front and rear panels of the Vertex. The reinforced bottom ensures plate security during wear. An open design encourages immediate drainage during maritime and over-the-beach operations.
Native Wire Routing
The Vertex also features native wire routing beneath the carrier’s surface. It has sewn-in shock cord lashing points and other mounting options for PTTs, as well as integrated attachment loops for FIRSTSPEAR TUBES Buckles. Other quick-release options are also available. The Vertex can be attached to existing S/M/L slick plate carriers to increase capability. It collapses for packing in a rucksack, duffel bag, or cargo pocket.
