Plate sizing for smaller-framed officers

September 23, 2026 admin

Standard plate sizes leave a coverage gap on smaller-framed officers and the carrier ends up riding low. We are exploring smaller cut plates but supply is limited.

Has anyone found a carrier plus plate combination that keeps coverage without restricting breathing and movement?

  1. We moved to a smaller SAPI cut with an adjustable cummerbund and it fixed most of the ride-low issue. The key was measuring torso length, not chest size.
