DISCLAIMER: This is NOT a list of what we suggest or a list of body armor plates you should buy. This is only for reference of fitment. We highly recommend you do the needed research to find only NIJ CERTIFIED armor that fits your mission requirements. There are a lot of armor companies that say their armor is tested to NIJ standards but that is not NIJ certified and this is what you want to look for when buying any armor.
Not all sizes are mentioned but we have made this list using the following sizes: SAPI medium, ESAPI medium, 10”x12”. When buying plates for our carriers the “FULL CUT” option will not work. You need either SAPI, ESAPI, SWIMMER, SHOOTER CUT.
There are SO many companies making armor and calling them 10”x12” but when you go measure the plate itself it is sometimes 10x12 and other times it is as far as plus or minus 1” out in dimensions! Yet they still call it a 10x12. Can ya’ll believe that! But what can you do? You can know what our plate carriers fit! Ha!
THE SLICKSTER and FCPC V5 SIZE MEDIUM PLATE CARRIER FITS - MEDIUM SAPI, ESAPI, SWIMMER PLATE, 10"x12" up to 10”x12.25“x1”
Medium WIDTH absolute maximum plate circumference – 22”
Medium HEIGHT absolute maximum plate circumference – 26.5”
THE SLICKSTER and FCPC V5 SIZE LARGE PLATE CARRIER FITS - LARGE SAPI, ESAPI, SWIMMER PLATE up to 10.5”x13.5“x1”
Large WIDTH absolute maximum plate circumference – 23”
Large HEIGHT absolute maximum plate circumference – 29”
The FCPC V5 has stretch pockets and Is more forgiving on fitment but we still suggest sticking to those dimensions.
Below is a list we have compiled of hard and soft body armor plates known to fit in The Slickster and the FCPC V5. We got as specific as we could. This list is always having more added to it and if you do not see the armor you are using on this list please email us at info@ferroconcepts.com so we can make this list better for future customers.
SIZE SMALL SAPI plates and 8"x10" plates:
Both fit the SKD Exclusive Slickster.1 carrier

Does the Hesco 4800LV-SA-MC-L really not fit the Ferro Slickster? It’s a 10×12 Hesco MC shooter’s cut plate that is thinner (at 0.67in) than the 4400-SH-SC-L (at 0.83in). Please verify, thanks.
Andrew Ditmer
I run “BattleSteel-BSIV” plates front and rear in my Slickster.

DFNDR IIIA 10×12 shooters cut pistol rated also fits. It’s what I currently have in mine.
