Included Components

HighCom Guardian 4s17M — NIJ Level IV Plates

The Guardian 4s17M is a multi-curve, stand-alone Level IV plate engineered to defeat armor-piercing rifle threats. Built with a ceramic strike face and PE backing, this plate is DEA-compliant and fully NIJ 0101.06 certified. It delivers proven performance and durability at a weight and profile suitable for extended wear.

HRT RAC Plate Carrier

The RAC Plate Carrier is a lightweight, highly modular platform designed for multi-mission adaptability. Constructed from rugged 500D Cordura with a Teflon-treated finish, the carrier includes integrated attachment points for quick-mount placards, dual rear-zipper back panel options, and adjustable shoulder/waist straps for a secure and ergonomic fit.
Its dual-zipper rear panel system allows operators to attach hydration units, utility panels, or additional storage modules based on mission needs.

HRT Quick-Release Cummerbund

Built for speed and stability, the Quick-Release Cummerbund uses ROC buckles for rapid donning and doffing while maintaining full MOLLE capability. The three-row PALS webbing allows users to mount side plates, utility pouches, radios, or other load-carriage accessories.
An internal pocket accepts soft armor inserts, making the cummerbund both lightweight and protective. Compatible with both RAC and HRAC carriers.

HRT Maximus Placard

The Maximus Placard provides organized, front-mounted storage for essential items. It includes:

  • Triple AR-style magazine inserts 
  • Two pistol magazine pouches with polymer retention inserts 

Two zippered general-purpose pockets
The rear hook panel and Duraflex buckle system ensure secure mounting to RAC/HRAC carriers or any compatible platform. Constructed from 500D Cordura for long-term durability.

Description

The RAC Body Armor Loadout brings together four essential components to form a complete, mission-ready system. The RAC Carrier acts as the foundation — lightweight, modular, and built to adapt through integrated front placard mounts and proprietary back-panel zippers. Its design allows users to quickly customize their gear setup for medical, breaching, communications, or ammunition-focused missions.

The Quick-Release Cummerbund offers improved stability and weight distribution while allowing for immediate escape in emergency situations. Its MOLLE layout supports scalable loadouts — from low-profile patrol setups to fully equipped tactical configurations.

The Maximus Placard provides accessible, secured storage for rifle and pistol magazines, along with two administrative pockets for essential tools or small gear. This modular front panel integrates seamlessly with the RAC chassis for rapid configuration changes.

Anchoring the system is the set of HighCom Guardian 4s17M Level IV plates. Certified and widely deployed, these plates provide armor-piercing protection and are designed for extended comfort with a multi-curve profile.

Together, this loadout offers a high-performance armor system suitable for law enforcement entry teams, security contractors, military personnel, and trained civilian responders who require dependable protection and adaptable gear architecture.
