The NcSTAR VISM Adjustable Plate Carrier is a step up from their more basic model. It adds a fully adjustable cummerbund with 3 rows of PALs for side-mounted pouches. Cummerbund-mounted pouches can be very useful for communications or first aid setups, plus it gives additional real estate for magazines on the non-dominant side. This cummerbund also allows for the addition of side armor plates, up to a size of 6″x8″ (not included). Just like the basic VISM carrier, this carrier has a heavy-duty drag handle on the back for transportation, but this model adds D-rings to the front for additional attachment. Shoulder straps are fully adjustable, matching the wearer’s height, and the cummerbund adjustment allows up to 2XL sizing. The front flap is the perfect size for a triple magazine shingle or a dual shingle with pistol magazine pouches. Overall, this is a good entry-level plate carrier that is a meaningful step up compared to a more basic model. We offer this plate carrier in two color options: black and tan.
