I'm 6'4" 275

My T Shirts are all 2XL/3XL, I like em Loose.
Chest 52"

I've been searching for the past couple of months and cant find anything that appears to fit.
Most seem to adjust to an XL size.

Any Leads on where to find one? Or am I just SOL...

I would Prefer Multicam/Tan/OD in that order if someone could find me one.

Another fatty checking in.  Been wanting something too but I think just something that holds two plates would fit most people. Follow what I mean?

I'm thinking this size may be the ones for us: 11 x 14.

Keep in mind that the armor only covers the vitals in the upper chest, not much further down.

I just got 2 xl plate carries from ar500, they hold the xl plates, good quality, plates fit great!  And the real reason it fits my 52 inch chest,  the other one is already sold, but if you need me too I'm a dealer can hook you up with one.  Black is out of stock only coyote and multi available right now.
Check em out on the website I think it would fit you perfectly.

The new Condor one is available in Multicam and would fit you easy.

Um dude you are 6'4 275... either A you are built like an NFL linebacker and should spring for a custom carrier, or B might wanna take that plate carrier money and invest it in a gym membership, and buy a stock size and be able to move with it.

(former 260 lbs guy , my carrier is loose now)

Skidtac Pig mayfit.  I made my own ripoff flattering copy of theirs and it fits me fine with plates.  I'm 6-4, okay 6-3, gravity has made me her bitch over the years, and broad shouldered and big chested.

The site's gear forum may also be able to give you some answers.  http://www.ar15.com/forums/f_6/10_Tactical_Gear.html


Keep in mind, most plate carriers size off the plates and not your chest/shirt size.  So an XL carrier doesn't correspond to an XL shirt but rather an XL size (11x14) plate and the body size that would need that much coverage.

So, I"m gathering from the materials posted so far and additional reading following links that the largest easily attainable plate is 11 x 14.

If you want/need something larger, you will have to have it custom made.

Plate carriers are available for 11 x 14 plates, but for anything larger, custom plates will need to be made.

Correct on all counts?

Yes you are correct.  XL,plates are the biggest you will find. I don't think you will find legitimate custom plate manufacturers due to the process
Carriers are usually built around plate size and not your shirt size
