How to use: First, put on the plate carrier like a vest. Adjust the shoulder and waist straps using the side release buckles for a comfortable fit. Insert your plates into the easy-access plate pockets. You can attach MOLLE-compatible gear and accessories to the heavyweight webbing according to your needs. Note: You must be at least 18 and not a felon to buy this. Make sure it's legal to possess and use in your state. Remember, body armor is bullet-resistant, not bulletproof, so there's still a risk of injury or death if hit by a bullet. Maintenance: Regularly check the webbing, buckles, and panels for any signs of wear and tear. Clean it with a mild detergent and let it air dry. Don't expose it to extreme heat or harsh chemicals.
