In a plate carrier where exactly should a 10x12 plate be positioned, I’m new to this and my plate seems to be riding lower than I expected for protection purposes.
Thanks |

I have long seen a trend in carriers sitting too low. Often it is because people aren't using them as designed, ie soft panels and plates. Sometimes though, it is just a matter of maladjusted equipment.

Seems to me that a lot of people get armor because they "need" it, then arrange it poorly for the sake of comfort or out of ignorance. Few seem to actually think about being shot while wearing it and the need to configure it correctly. |

This is why I asked, with the carrier on the plate just seemed lower than I expected and I wanted more of my upper torso protected not just my belly. |

those 10x12 are small enough, put them where they need to be That looks nice. Do you wear Lvl IIIA under it? |
