U.S. Issue IMTV Plate and Armor Carrier Vest

The IMTV U.S. Issue Plate and Armor Carrier is specially designed to provide exceptional scalability, protective coverage, and maneuverability according to mission requirements.  The Improved Modular Tactical Vest (IMTV) also provides more efficient weight distribution, enhanced protection to the lateral torso, with less exposed area on the sides and under the arms. Ideal for quick donning and doffing, this high-performance vest also features a 2-point cut away system, 360° MOLLE compatible webbing attachment points for pouches, and lower back, groin, neck/throat protection and an internal cummerbund for optimal fit. 

The soft armor included in the vest is expired and not guaranteed or intended to stop fragments or a bullet.  Average Armor life expectancy is 5 years from the date of manufacture due to material breakdown.

Condition Guide

Surplus is real military gear, and the exact conditions may vary.  We grade used military surplus to give you options and offer a clearer description. Military gear was built well and used by soldiers proving its tested quality.  We hope you find that it serves you well. 

Grade 1 Like New:  Out of the factory case or may have only minor signs of use or storage marks.

Grade 2 Used: What we call normal used surplus. The gear is fully usable and shows normal signs of use with a lot of life left. Some items may have stains, writing, color fading, repairs, and or surface rust on them.  We find that up to a small 1/4” hole or frays does not repair well and do not affect the gears performance.
