While there are three internal pockets to the Core Plate Carrier, you will place the rifle rated plate in the middle pocket that has a reinforced velcro strap to ensure your armor plate does not shift. The front pocket can be used for a spall liner if you're operating with ICW plates or Steel Plates. The rear internal pocket gives the option of using a trauma pad. Can I wash my vest? The outer carrier is machine washable. Simply remove the ballistic cummerbund panels and any trauma pads or plates, then we recommend washing the carrier on gentle. Lay the carrier flat to dry.
