What size plates for front and back Expert Answer

These will fit 10x12 plates.

by Ben, Gear Expert, March 25, 2021
Does this vest accommodate front, rear, and side plates as well? Expert Answer

Yes. The AR500 Armor Testudo Gen 2 Plate Carrier can utilize 10x12 or 11x14 plates for the front and rear of the carrier. It can also fit 6x8 side plates in the cummerbund of the carrier without having to add a pouch as it already has inserts to fit 6x8 side plates.
