There are two types of plate carrier. There are “covert” carriers which can be concealed under clothing, but which have an extremely limited featureset. Then there are the “overt” carriers, which are fully-featured and much more robust, but at the same time are unavoidably bulky.
Inspired by its namesakes — the light mounted infantrymen of the early modern period, who, in their role as skirmishers, scouts, ambushers, and raiders, were forced to strike a delicate balance between firepower and extreme mobility — the Dragoon is a lightweight and ultra-low-profile plate carrier, yet one which is nevertheless fully-configurable and comes with every bell and whistle you’d expect of an overt carrier.
Simply put, the Adept Armor Dragoon plate carrier bridges the gap and offers the best of both worlds.
As a covert carrier, the Dragoon excels: It is exceptionally thin, has slick and low-profile surfaces, features removable high-density padding rather than bulky integral padding, and has no buckles or quick-release mechanisms that can print or get snagged under clothing. It securely fits very thin plates, such as the 0.2″ Storm Titanium. It’s also IR treated, lightweight, and extremely hydrophobic, so that its wet weight is almost identical to its dry weight.
As an overt carrier, the Dragoon performs just as well; it was designed to be effective as a platform of rugged and durable construction. With tough materials, top-tier workmanship and stitching, a hidden admin pouch, cable guides, and low-profile laser-cut MOLLE on just about every surface, the Dragoon can be configured to meet the specific requirements of any mission.
The Dragoon fits bulky plates just as well as it carries thin, low-profile armor plates, for its plate pockets are extremely adaptable. It is suitable for use with plates that run the size gamut from SAPI S to SAPI L, including 10×12″ plates that don’t correspond to a SAPI side, shooter’s cut plates, and swimmer’s cut plates. And this includes plates of virtually any thickness, up to and including 1.5″. Again, it works exceptionally well with the Adept Armor Storm System, as it’s capable of fitting the Foundation, an up-armor plate, and an additional trauma pad.
The Adept Armor Dragoon plate carrier is made in Bohemia, Czechia, from European and American materials.
