Defense Mechanisms Plate Carrier Review

ByDave Timm

We review the modular high quality plate carrier from Minnesota’s own Defense Mechanisms. This carrier offers build quality second to none, and endless options for configuration for whatever your needs may be. The other great aspect is the guys behind the products are real deal folks who use gear and make it right. I have been very impressed using this carrier, check out the video for up close details, my set up and more information.

Thanks for watching!
