Body armor is where most of your loadout's MOLLE real estate lives, so it's worth comparing your options before you buy. Here's how our body armor and plate carriers differ.
Body Armor "6b13" vs. "6b23"
The Body Armor "6b13" is the older, boxier silhouette associated with earlier-generation kits, while the Body Armor "6b23" has a more modern, streamlined cut with a lower profile. If you're matching a specific era of loadout, pick the armor that matches the rest of your uniform and helmet choice rather than picking on looks alone.
Plate Carrier "6b45" and "6b46"
The Plate Carrier "6B45" and Plate Carrier "6b46" are lighter, more minimalist options built for mobility, with less built-in coverage than the full body armor pieces but more MOLLE space up front for pouches. These work well if you're building a scout or lightweight loadout rather than a heavily armored one.
Body Armor "Defender 2"
The Body Armor "Defender 2" is a budget-friendly, general-purpose option if you want solid coverage without committing to a specific era or unit style.
What to Pair It With
Whichever piece you choose, plan your Chest Rig and Pouches around the MOLLE space it gives you — a boxier carrier like the 6b13 has room for more pouches than a slim plate carrier like the 6B45.
