  • Hard Armor Compatible

     

    • Increased Protection: A tactical vest with added hard armor provides enhanced protection against high-powered rifle rounds, shotgun blasts, and stab wounds - making it an essential equipment for law enforcement.
    • Versatility: With the option to add or remove hard armor panels, our RTS Tactical RICO vest offers maximum flexibility, allowing officers to tailor their protection to the specific needs of each mission.
    • The hard armor is inserted from the side in order to make it easy to remove the armor without having to remove the vest. 

     

    Load Out Capable & Laser Cut Bonded Material

     

    • Versatility: The ability to easily change load-outs allows the wearer to customize their gear according to mission requirements, allowing them to adapt to different situations in the field. This increases the versatility of the RICO Tactical Vest 
    • Efficiency: A removable and changeable loadout allows soldiers or law enforcement officers to switch out equipment quickly, saving valuable time in dangerous situations. Being able to make rapid adjustments to their gear can mean the difference between life and death in certain circumstances.
    • Lightweight: Laser-cut plate carriers have less material than their traditional counterparts, which reduces overall weight. This decreases the effort required for the wearer to move, providing a more efficient maneuverability in high-stress situations.
    • Enhanced Durability: The RICO Tactical Vest features laser cut materials that are more durable than those with traditional Cordura Nylon. The laser-cut edges help prevent fraying and tearing, which can be detrimental to the overall carrier's functionality during Tactical Operations

     

    Frequently Asked Questions

    A concealable vest is designed to be worn underneath a shirt or a jacket. A tactical vest is designed to be worn over the shirt or uniform and is equipped with Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment (MOLLE) webbing so that pouches and ID panels can be attached.

    Although there are companies who design “universal carriers”, ballistic shapes are typically unique to the manufacturer. Purchasing our ballistic panels to insert them in a different carrier is not recommended as we cannot guarantee that our shapes will fit in another company's carrier.
