RTS Tactical Advanced Sleek 2.0 Plate Carrier

Key Specifications

Product Overview

The RTS Tactical Advanced Sleek 2.0 Plate Carrier represents the second generation of RTS Tactical's premium carrier platform — a refined evolution incorporating direct feedback from the law enforcement agencies and individual operators who deployed the original Advanced Sleek. RTS Tactical is an ISO 9001 certified manufacturer and GSA Schedule holder with over 1,000 law enforcement department customers, and the Advanced Sleek 2.0 reflects the engineering discipline of a manufacturer with genuine institutional accountability to the agencies that depend on their products.

The '2.0' designation marks specific technical advances over the first-generation carrier. The most significant is the upgraded spacer mesh interior: an enhanced three-dimensional fabric system that improves airflow between the armor panel and the operator's torso beyond the performance of standard spacer mesh. For law enforcement officers wearing a plate carrier for an 8–12 hour patrol shift, this thermal management improvement directly affects comfort, sustained alertness, and the inclination to wear the carrier consistently — a critical behavioral factor in officer protection, since armor only protects when worn.

The Advanced Sleek 2.0 is available in three body size categories (Small/Medium, Large/XL, 2XL) each with the choice of 10"×12" or 11"×14" plate bag size — creating six variant combinations per color. This size matrix addresses the full range of law enforcement personnel body types while ensuring the plate bag is properly sized for the operator's chosen plate format. The removable shoulder pads allow operators to configure the carrier for maximum comfort during extended wear or remove them for a more compact profile when required.

Laser-Cut 360° MOLLE Platform

The Advanced Sleek 2.0 features full 360° laser-cut MOLLE — covering the front panel, rear panel, and full-length cummerbund. The laser-cut format produces a flush surface with standard PALS-spacing slots, providing unrestricted accessory configuration while maintaining a clean profile between mounted pouches. The 360° MOLLE real estate on this carrier allows a fully loaded operational configuration without requiring any accessory to be compromised for fit: triple magazine pouches, IFAK, tourniquet holders, radio holster, and side plate carriers can all be mounted simultaneously.

• Front panel: Full laser-cut MOLLE for magazine pouches, admin pouches, IFAKs
• Rear panel: Laser-cut MOLLE for hydration carrier, utility pouches, admin packs
• Cummerbund: Laser-cut load-bearing MOLLE — soft armor or side plate compatible
• 6"×8" side plate compatibility: Cummerbund accommodates hard armor side inserts
