Chest Rig: "Vendetta" Multi-Purpose Plate Carrier with Farmer Armor Upgrades
Only available in the United States and Canada
Battle-tested and built-to-last, the Vendetta Multi-Purpose Plate Carrier (MPPC) is designed to provide versatile protection whenever and wherever you need it. This combat-ready ballistic plate carrier features a quick-release buckle system and fast-adjust cummerbund that can be adjusted to accommodate a variety of body shapes. High-performance 900D Oxford nylon resists abrasion, fading, and repels water, while Mil-Spec polymer hardware withstands compression and impact. Generously sized laser-cut MOLLE platforms provide attachment points for modular gear, whether you get it from me or somewhere else.
Internal retention straps accept up to 10-inch x 12-inch multi or single-curve SAPI/ESAPI plates, while the “V” design is intended to evenly distribute weight across the shoulders and torso. With mission-ready features, like a zippered admin chest pocket, comms/hydration ports, and multiple loop patch panels, the Vendetta MPPC is purpose-built to deliver maximum protection in even the most brutal environments.
This is sourced from the same Thailand/China multinational company that mass-produces the plate carriers (K19 and K Zero) used by Agilite- a self-proclaimed Israeli-veteran company that claims their stuff is made in Israel (it's not), but the marketing has been super effective. So they're charging you almost $300 for something I can get you half of that. The fascists in the IDF and American contractors have done all of the battlefield testing on this for us. Absolutely shop within your budget when it comes to arming yourself, but if you're going for something that Special Operators utilize, this is it- and it's practically just above cost for me (I'm sure the company makes it for even less). Sourcing this will initially be slow as I do have to import them and inspect them before I send them out.
As my vow to ensure that the Proletariat is armed and dangerous, I will personally inspect every single one of these I receive and provide the following "Farmer Armor" improvements to the carrier:
- Improved stitching around shoulders and MOLLE attachment points
- Reinforced drag handle
- Strengthening of shoulders and cummerbund (optional cummerbund upgrades available upon request for additional cost)
- Silicone Treatment to strengthen the fiber and increase water-resistance
- Heat-bonding of critical seams to increase durability and tear-resistance
- Home-made, natural fabric-stiffening agent application
The carrier is available in a Ranger Green, Coyote Brown, or Black solid-color. If you are interested, for $10 more I can do a custom camouflage job on the carrier in addition to the Farmer Armor upgrades. I will use fabric stains of various shades to emulate most patterns. A black carrier base would be limiting, but the tan and green options can have darker and lighter stains more easily applied.
This is literally one of the most comfortable carriers on the market. I love my Minuteman, but a friend of a friend of a friend, who has since lost his stuff in a boating accident, let me wear one of these, and now the first thing I am doing is placing an order for myself from the supplier. I am a bit disgruntled, because I had heavily customized my Predator Armor one, but it's too comfortable to not get a "K19". I am glad the money does not go to any Israeli companies or IDF veterans. I hope someday to have the means of making my own plate carrier, but right now this is the best I can do.
UPDATE: I have since replaced my Minuteman in my SHTF kit with one of these. All around, an excellent upgrade and it has handled a lot of trucking. My only complaint is the quick release buckle system on the shoulder- they get in the way of me shouldering my rifle. I am, however, not as tall or as wide as others, so this may be a non-issue for some of you. Supposing this is a problem for you, and you are interested in modifications to the shoulder straps- my recommended solution is to swap out your dominant shoulder buckle for a simpler one, or forgoing it entirely and rigging something up so that you can don/drop your carrier from your nondominant shoulder. In the meantime, I will be playing around with a more permanent solution to this that can be applied equally for everyone prior to sending these out.
