Plate carriers are more popular than ever. This makes it difficult to find the best budget plate carriers, under $300. After all, two carriers may be exact copies of each other, but one is held together using string and sticks of gum. The purpose of this article is to highlight some great budget carriers, suitable for law enforcement or tactical use. We\u2019ll also review a few quality options for accessories and armor. Keep reading for more.<\/h2>\n

I\u2019ve worn quite a lot of vests and plate carriers in my career, and I\u2019ve seen the good, bad, and the ugly. As you\u2019ll see in this article, I\u2019ve capped all the vests at $300. Remember, this is just the price of the carrier. That doesn\u2019t include armor, or pouches.<\/h2>\n

My rule of thumb for plate carriers, and life saving gear in general, is that it must be reliable first. For plate carriers, that means it has to correctly hold the armor in place for the duration I expect to wear it. All the carriers on this list should be durable for any reasonable use.<\/h2>\n

However, the more expensive options will be more comfortable to wear for extended periods. Here\u2019s a list of the best budget plate carriers we will be discussing, from cheapest to most expensive.<\/h2>\n
