🟣 You don’t need real plates — but a bit of foam helps
Plenty of players buy a plate carrier, run it empty, and wonder why it sags and flops around all game. The fix isn’t expensive armour — it’s a pair of cheap dummy plates (foam or thin HDPE, often just a few dollars, or cut your own). They give the carrier its shape, keep the front panel flat so your mag pouches sit right, and make it far more comfortable, all without adding real weight. A plate carrier with dummy plates looks and wears the way it’s meant to; run bare and it never quite sits properly. It’s the cheap five-minute trick that makes a vest like this feel like a proper rig.
