The Hilo Low Profile Plate Carrier is a quick deployment minimal plate carrier with a low profile at an affordable price. The carrier comes with everything you need, except the plates, this includes the front and back plate backs as well as an Elastic Cummerbund.
Minimal does not mean not practical, each carrier front plate bag features a built in top admin pouch, a large loop area which has support for SwiftClip/QASM) buckles on either end as well as a large loop field on the bottom. For even lower profile you can easily remove the SwiftClip buckles for total concealment.
The back panel features loop on the top and bottom. Both field of loops on bottom are meant to support any cummerbund that works via a Velcro attachment system like our Elastic Cummerbund.
Both front and back panels feature airflow padding for bodyside cooling.
The shoulders feature a unique adjustability system that helps you remember sizing using a built in notch system. The shoulders attach by sliding in and securing via a hook and loop system. To aid in the setup we include a tool so that your strap doesn't get attached during sizing.
Our Elastic Cummerbund features three cells that can securely hold 5.56, 7.62 as well as your tools such as radios and tourniquets.
Inside the plate pocket is an adjustment strap to let you adjust how high or low the plate rides in the carrier.

Excellent low profile plate carrier. Stitching and quality is very good with plenty of options for load out. Customer service is top notch and responds very quickly to questions. I am extremely satisfied with my purchase.
I was fortunate enough to stumble across Midwest Armor via Reddit. I did some research and decided to place an order. My order is delayed. Why I wonder? BAM! Snowstorm shuts down Tennessee. Reach out to customer service for an update. Hands down best customer service I have had in a long time. Fast, honest, and got me my updates instantly. Now about the carrier. Holy light weight. Fits my Hesco plates perfectly. Shoulder pads are padded and fit great. Cumberbum wraps tightly around my torso, and stays put. My girlfriend is a seemstress and I had her inspect the sticting entirley. Its all flawless. I love my PC and addtions from Midwest Armor, They do oustanding work. I will be a purchasing more in the future!
