I understand that all body armor sales are final. This is because we'd never sell you armor that had been returned by someone else.

About this product
The K-Zero Plate Carrier is the most comfortable plate carrier on the market. It’s the only plate carrier designed directly with both Israeli and US Special forces to fix all of the comfort and functionality issues with modern plate carriers.
K-Zero Plate Carrier was built to be significantly more comfortable than other plate carriers, whether run completely slick, or fully up-armored and worn for entire weeks.
The Agilite proprietary V design spreads the weight over 8 different suspension points so there are zero hot spots. Strategically placed low profile closed cell padding gives you an unprecedented amount of comfort, without adding bulk or interfering with your stockweld.
The K-Zero comes with a one-size fits all low profile cummerbund, so you can guarantee a perfect fit and even adjust it by yourself on the fly while wearing it.
It is incredibly versatile. In the front it allows you to switch between either velcro flaps or quick release buckles depending on your mission set. It has both internal and external mounting options and stretch that doesn’t compromise any real estate on your rear plate bag.
For even heavier loads, the K-Zero is compatible with the Agilite Warfighter™ Cummerbund or any other hook and loop based cummerbund.
On other plate carriers, cable management is an afterthought at best. On the K-Zero it has been designed into every area of it from the start. It comes with an included cable management kit. This gives you complete versatility and the ability to set up your cables, ptts and hydration tubes exactly how you’d like them.
The K-Zero gives you the type of advantages that can only be gathered from experience in the highest levels of combat in an area of the world that still conducts operations every single night. Whether you are defending your country at the tip of the spear, defending your community or defending your home the K-Zero will give you an unparalleled edge.
The K-Zero has a one-size fits all cummerbund and will fit all body types and sizes perfectly.
The ONLY thing you need to size is the plate bag so it fits the armor plates you are planning to put inside of it.
Size Medium: This size will fit most plates including 10x12, SAPI Medium or smaller
Size Large: This is for SAPI Large plates or any large plates up to 10.30”x13.25”

Great plate carrier,very comfortable and good for lots of weight to be thrown on it especially with the warfighter cummerbunds, live the way that you can throw 98% of placards and assault packs on it as well
I am 6'2" at 250, and because of the size I had to adjust to almost to it's full extent. Wish more GP were available and side straps were in the same color
I love everything about the plate carrier and the different types of things I can do to it.. The only thing I hate about the vest is the shoulder pads are unbearably uncomfortable AFTER LONG PERIODS, first few hours is fine.. Even with minimal loads, Lvl 4 Ceramic plates.. The carrier will cause pain to the shoulders after wearing it for a while..
This thing is absolutely comfortable and looks badass. The quality is very good. It already come pre-assembled and I recommend making the shoulders to level 2 in the length for more comfortable wear. Other than that it’s all about looking cool and you will.
Very happy with my new K-Zero in multicam black. Fit very well and made to last a war. Will be returning for future purchases.
Wide range of options, compatibility, and functionality. great quality. will definitely be purchasing from agilite again soon.
The quality is top notch, it was easy to adjust and fits very well. Can’t wait to install more add ons.
Hands down best plate carrier i own. Super comfortable, very tuff and durable. What i love most is all the small features that other companys don't have. They have thought of everything. Highly recommend.
I previously called the Sub Zero the best and most comfortable plate carrier I've ever had. I've previously had an AC1, LV119, and HRT RAC. After taking my sub zero on a 7.5 mile hike with 2k ft of elevation gain, I decided I needed something with more capability (namely molle on the rear for a hydration pouch). I got the K-Zero and loaded it up with my hydration bladder and all the goodies and it feels ready to go for an even longer hike with those padded shoulders. I'm definitely feeling that comfort I had with the sub zero but I'm able to load it up more. I don't think I'll feel the fatigue of wearing it for a range session for a few hours ever again. Bring it on!
As usual. Agilite kit is always been of great quality and absolutely very well thought out. The test and evaluation process every piece of equipment goes through is rigger-us and gets put through real word use by professionals all over the world before it gets released to the public and the K-zero is no different. Get one you won’t be disappointed.
Great plate carryer.
I have worn it for a long time without any problems. It feels light and comfortable.
Quality, Comfortable, easily adjustable, and ready for anything right out of the packaging!
Hi Agilite Team,
I’ve been using the K-Zero™ Plate Carrier
and I have to say — it fits absolutely perfectly.
The comfort and ergonomics are top-tier,
and it works beautifully with various accessories.
The color is spot-on, and the overall design
makes it a joy to wear and operate in.
I’d confidently rate it 4 out of 5 stars.
The one missing star is due to durability concerns:
I wish the material was a bit tougher.
When inserting plates for missions or training,
I’ve experienced the plate pocket area wearing out
or tearing too easily during rough handling
— especially during casualty carries or if I go down.
Also, I would love to see a few more horizontal MOLLE slots
at the upper front section —
it would really help with gear configuration.
That said, the build quality of the pouches,
the comfort of the cummerbund,
and the ease of adjustment are all outstanding.
The Admin Pouch and the QD mechanisms
both open and close smoothly —
they’re intuitive and reliable.
Thank you for making such excellent gear.
I’ll keep sharing feedback as I continue using your products,
and I look forward to seeing what you develop next.
Wishing strength and success to your team and your nation —
you’ve got a fan for life in Korea.
Best regards,
Great product from and even greater company. Super comfortable great quality looking forward to some upgrades for sure. Will definitely recommend this to everyone
This is my first time buying a plate carrier. I've tried on some of my friends' before, but the K-ZERO is light and easy to use. I especially like how it's easy to adjust around the shoulders and how lightweight it is. Next time I'd like to try the subzero.
Super happy to get my K Zero setup, super light and slick; loving it
Extremely light weight. And not restricting.
Love it so far , fits comfortably and can’t wait to get more stuff to add on it.
Thanks Agilite Team !
The carrier is the most comfortable I have warn and very customizable. Construction seems solid, looking forward to testing out it's durability.
First impression was…. It’s just another carrier. But it was all here the money spent and it was mine. Put it together, put it on and wasn’t very excited. Made some strap adjustments and it got better but still wasn’t feeling the K Zero hype. Put the level IV plates and trauma pads in, adjusted the cummerbund and straps some more and put it on again and 🤩…. I like it, I like it a lot!!! If you are on the fence, pull the trigger, you won’t regret it.
This plate carrier met all my expectations! Comfortable, lightweight, and due to the over-run discount, a GREAT value! Couldn’t be happier with this K-Zero!
Will the large k zero also except medium plates properly.
Yes, it will fit them perfectly
