Velocity Systems Side Plate Retainer Straps

Word great with 6x6x1" PE plates. Gotta have for APC hard side plates if you don't want them shifting around being useless.

It’s always great customer service with SKD. My retainer straps came fast and was able to secure my side plates.

Nice easy, inexpensive way to keep hard inserts with a cumberbund with internal pockets, i.e. Mayflower APC Will take up room inside cumberbund, that would otherwise be used to keep mags, radio, etc. Does not completely protect thick ceramic side plate from the dirt, mud, rain, but you can quickly insert and remove.

I use 6x8 side plates, so these were necessary. They work just fine and hold the plates securely. If you want the extra protection the larger plates afford, then these are a good choice for the Mayflower APC.

They are made well and hold my 6x6 steel armor secure . A must have with side armor.

I have a low-vis Velocity Systems/Mayflower R C plate carrier with Velocity Systems steel plates. I needed something to stabilize the steel side plates in the cummerbund. The plates themselves fit in the cummerbund, but need something to keep them from coming out when doing ninja flips. Anyway, I only gave the straps 4 stars because they have Velcro on the ends, which works for thicker ceramic plates, but don't fully engage the Velcro inside the cummerbund because the steel plates are thinner. No worries, though, a little bit of paracord helps too.
