Abstract
Individual body armor plates have an integral hook and/or loop pile coverings that allow the plates to directly affix to the mating hook and loop material of the plate carrier apparatus. The use of hook and loop fastener materials to directly affix and support the armor plates to the carrier apparatus eliminates the need for enclosed internal pouches or pockets, thereby greatly reducing overall weight and bulk of the armor plate carrier system. Integrating hook and loop fastener materials into the covering of armor plates also allows the armor plates to be suspended for a wearer with only shoulder straps, harnesses and cummerbunds having corresponding hook and look fastener materials.
