The Warrior Assault Systems CPC Covert Plate Carrier is a low-profile tactical vest shell from the Elite Ops range, designed to carry hard armor plates with a reduced visual signature. Available in five colorways — Black, Coyote Tan, Multicam, Olive Drab, and Ranger Green — the CPC ships as a base carrier or as a combo paired with a Triple Velcro 5.56 Open Magazine Pouch, giving operators a ready-to-run configuration straight out of the box.

Who this is for

• Armed professionals: who need a carrier that disappears under a jacket or outer layer while still accepting hard rifle-rated plates.
• Preparedness-minded civilians: who want a lower-profile plate carrier that does not broadcast a full tactical silhouette.
• Trainers and range users: who run Warrior Assault Systems pouches and accessories and want a carrier that integrates with the existing ecosystem.

Frequently asked questions

What plate sizes fit in this carrier?

Contact us for confirmed plate size compatibility and fit guidance for specific plate cuts and dimensions.

Does this carrier come with plates?

No. The CPC is sold as a bare carrier shell (Plate Carrier Base) or as a combo with a Triple Velcro 5.56 Open Magazine Pouch. Ballistic plates are not included in either configuration.

What colorways are available?

The CPC is available in Black, Coyote Tan, Multicam, Olive Drab, and Ranger Green across both the base and combo configurations.

What is the difference between the Base and the Combo?

The Base is the carrier shell alone. The Combo adds a Triple Velcro 5.56 Open Magazine Pouch pre-configured on the front of the carrier, supporting both 5.56mm and 7.62 AK-pattern magazines depending on the variant selected.

Can this be shipped to my state?

The CPC is a plate carrier shell with no ballistic rating of its own, so state body armor restrictions that apply to ballistic armor do not govern this carrier. However, under 18 U.S.C. § 931, anyone with a federal felony conviction for a crime of violence is prohibited from purchasing or possessing body armor. Contact us with any questions about your order.
