Plate Carrier 101: Choosing the Right Setup 

Your front plate should be at your jugular notch, where your neck and clavicles meet and the bottom a few inches above your belt. Mine sit at my belly button.

Hey Leo sorry, we only just saw your question today! Sam touched base with one of his industry colleagues who is also in a wheelchair, and he had some great feedback and suggestions, I'll put below: “The plate carrier itself shouldn't really be a factor that I can think of. I run a Velocity Scarab. As for plates, I'd HIGHLY recommend getting the thinnest plate possible for the rear plate, so it doesn't shove him further forward than necessary which is not a comfortable or natural feeling. Check out Velocity or Tesco. It's possible that since he's in a power chair that can tilt backward (assuming his can) and not in a fixed manual chair like myself that plate thickness won't affect him like it does me, because if he CAN tilt his chair seat backward a little then he could technically/maybe make up for the fact that a thick rear plate shoves his upper body forward.“

@@FirearmsDepot no worries about the delay. I think that your colleague is correct. my power chair does recline back and after trying on a plate carrier a friend has, I'm glad that it does.

Because if you get shot in the body armor the lost mag is the least of your problems, you are probably experiencing a broken rib and or lots of pain and bruising. The mag is the least of your worries.

This is the dumbest thing I’ve seen today. Stop thinking.
