Overview
The Agilite K19 Plate Carrier 3.0 is a modular plate carrier built around fast adjustment, quick-release capability, and support for common armor and load-carriage configurations. It combines Agilite's Fast-Adjust cummerbund with the Egress quick-release system, allowing the wearer to fine-tune fit without removing the carrier.
The K19 3.0 uses a one-size-fits-all cummerbund and one-size-fits-most plate bags designed for common Small, Medium, and Large SAPI/ESAPI plates as well as 10x12-inch plates within the carrier's dimensional limits. The front plate bag is placard-compatible while retaining MOLLE underneath, allowing the carrier to be configured with either hook-backed placards or conventional MOLLE pouches.
Version 3.0 also uses removable left and right quick-release buckles. Included minimalist slide buckles can be installed when a lower-profile shoulder interface is preferred.

Plate Fit & Sizing
The K19 uses a one-size-fits-all cummerbund and one-size-fits-most plate bags. Agilite specifies compatibility with common Small, Medium, and Large SAPI/ESAPI plates and standard 10x12-inch plates.
Plate dimensions can vary between manufacturers, even when plates share the same nominal size. Check the actual height, width, and thickness of the armor against the K19 specifications before installation, particularly when using thicker rifle plates.
Placards, MOLLE & Loadout Configuration
The K19 3.0 front plate bag supports hook-backed placards through its loop field and upper attachment points. Traditional MOLLE remains available underneath, so the carrier can also be configured with conventional MOLLE-mounted magazine, medical, admin, and utility pouches.
The Fast-Adjust cummerbund also provides mounting space for compatible pouches along its length, giving the wearer additional flexibility when distributing equipment around the carrier.

Compatibility Note
The K19 3.0 is designed to accommodate a broad range of common plate sizes, but actual fit depends on plate dimensions and thickness. Verify the dimensions of your armor before ordering. The carrier itself does not determine whether a ballistic plate requires a separate backer; follow the armor manufacturer's requirements for the specific plate being used.
