Ferro Concepts FCPC V5 Base
Ferro Concepts FCPC V5 Plate Carrier – Mission Built. Operator Approved. The Future of Lightweight, Modular Plate Carriers Starts Here. Ten years of relentless innovation brings you the Ferro Concepts FCPC V5, the latest evolution of one of the most respected plate carriers on the planet. Built for professional end-users and designed to move with the human body—not against it—the FCPC V5 delivers a lightweight, modular, high-mobility platform that dominates under pressure. Developed with direct feedback from special operations professionals, this updated version incorporates precision patterning, laser-cut laminate MOLLE, and Durastretch® panels to deliver next-level plate fitment, comfort, and versatility. It’s not just lighter—it’s smarter. Why We Love It Because this isn’t just a plate carrier—it’s a platform. The FCPC V5 brings together years of real-world testing and tactical evolution into a plate carrier that works with you, not just for you. Every feature, from the admin pouch to the hidden G-Hook front flap system, is designed for speed, stealth, and customization. DESIGN: Deliberate and precise pattern making to create a contoured framework for increased unity between the body and armor. These are fancy words to tell you that we know how the body moves AND we know how material moves. Combining that knowledge into the FCPC V5 makes it practically perfect with the potential to get better and better. MATERIALS: Our 500D Cordura® laminate was created to be able to take serious abuse in real world environments. (Trader Joe’s Parking Lot on a Sunday Afternoon?) Purposefully used to replace conventional materials and construction allowing us to save weight and increase durability where it’s needed. To help address dimensional issues with modern armor options, we integrated Tweave Durastretch® panels to allow for a wider range of armor plate fitment and retention. See? We know what we are doing. ADAPTABILITY: Working off our ADAPT philosophy, new and updated features have been added to increase versatility. The new zip-on back panel system, integrated into the rear plate pocket, allows quick and easy swap-out of ADAPT back panels. Laser cut MOLLE rows remain for existing compatible products. Building upon our pioneered concealed front flap attachment system, the updated front plate pocket contains concealed G-hook attachment points and provides low profile integration of all ADAPT front flaps. For optimal fit and function, the shoulder straps were designed to enable the user to customize the carrier to their preference with strap hardware that can be swapped from side-to-side and to other forms of preferred fastening. For heightened mission efficiency and situational awareness, the built-in full width admin pocket is accompanied with a laser cut MOLLE panel to integrate modern mobile device platforms (such as ATAK) and associated accessories.

When choosing your plate carrier size, you will want to pick it to fit what armor you have.
