First Spear is now shipping two new discreet concealable armored vests/plate carriers, the Slick and the Deceptor. Both of these plate carriers are designed to be discreet and fit under uniforms or other load bearing gear, while still being able to accommodate rifle-rated and special threat plates. The First Spear Slick plate carrier is concealable vest system that is thin and lightweight enough to be rolled up and stowed in a cargo pocket with the plates removed. The Deceptor plate carrier, on the other hand, is not as light-weight as the Slick, but can still be concealed under your garments. The Slick is a lightweight minimalist low visibility carrier that is built to be worn underneath garments, not meant to be worn as external plate carrier. Both of these vests are designed to accommodate matching SAPI cut plates or other armor choices in addition to 6 by 6 inch lateral ballistic panel inserts.
