1Ergonomic Design
By casting the plates, we are able to create a custom, double-curved shape that significantly improves an athlete’s comfort when wearing a weighted vest. We looked at the armor / ballistic plates used in today’s advanced bulletproof vests as a key reference point. This custom ergonomic design helps keep the plate tight to the user’s chest while minimizing discomfort and enabling clearer breathing as you train.
-
2Made in the USA
As a welcome alternative to cheaply made imported vest plates, our cast plates are exclusively designed and manufactured in America. The tooling for the plates is made in Northeast Ohio, and the plates are all cast in a Wisconsin foundry. A black powdercoat finish creates a firm grip and sharp look, and exclusive Rogue branding is cast directly into each mold, along with the weight measurement.

3Three Size Options
Rogue USA Cast Weight Vest Plates are compatible with the 5.11 TacTec Plate Carrier, Condor Sentry Plate Carrier, and other similar weight vests on the market (be sure to check your vest’s measurements before purchasing). We’ve designed them in three weight options, each measuring 11.25" in length x 9.25" in width. The 5.75LB plate pair creates a total vest weight of 14LB (when added to a 2.5LB vest); the 8.75LB pair adds up to 20LB total; and the 13.75LB pair tops out at 30LB.

Very comfortable
I don't normally write reviews but I'll make an exception in this case. I do "Murph" once a week with my 5.11 weight vest and the older, flat Rogue plates. I got used to the old plates and was happy with the entire set up. I thought, "This is just what working out with a weight vest is supposed to feel like." I was wrong!
I did Murph again today with my new cast plates and was very surprised at how much more comfortable the double curved ergonomic shape made the vest. Not just a little more comfortable but a lot! Thanks, Rogue! Murph will be a lot more enjoyable now!

Much better
Luckily I live in Columbus so I walked in to check these out and bought them. I also had the flat plates. The new ones fit much better in the plate carrier and feel better too. They are also multi curved like my ballistic plates. I want to say they are about .5 inches thick but less than.75 if you tried comparing to Large eSapi plates. Thanks for listening to the recommendations Rogue.

excellent
I bought these plates to put in the 5.11 Tactec carrier, and the combination is working well. I liked the fit and feel of the contoured plates.
The Tactec secures the plate using vertical and horizontal pairs of velcro straps inside the plate compartments, and some have noted that the tapered bottoms of these plates make it hard to keep the vertical straps from slipping loose. I found that by running the straps through the bottom opening in the plate and around the "handle" the plates are very secure. The horizontal straps are almost unnecessary.

Fits Great and is Comfortable!
I am in the militaries Spec War community and I wear body armor regularly. I have always been worried about training with my plates because they are ceramic and thus breakable. I bought these for that reason. I couldn't be happier, they are slightly heavier than the weight of my SAPI plates and fit perfectly in my vest. I would love if Rogue came out with a cast iron side-plate one day to complete the package. I've only had them a short while so I don't know how they will hold up but will amend my review if they don't. So far so good and I don't expect any issues.

Worth the money
I’ve been using these in the 5.11 vest for a couple months and they’re great. They fit perfectly in the vest, contour to the body well, and make me look really tough running in my suburb. No guilt having a crispy boy after the workout and Rick can kiss my rear, not my fault Beth decides to check the mail while I’m running with my weight vest and asks me to invite him next time.

The best plates on the market but a little short.
These are hands down the best plates on the market but they are a little short. They don’t fit snugly into most carriers and will jump around a bit. If they were slightly longer they would be perfect. They are however, head and shoulders above the old flat plates. If you wedge something into the carrier you can keep them from moving too much. Definitely well worth the money. Having a 30lbs vest is awesome.

40 lbs combo!
Great product! Only wish rogue would make a 40 lbs combo as I am a firefighter and that's about how much our PPE is. I am torn between the 20 lbs set for workout like the Murph or if I should try to fit two plates each side to get close to 40! Please Rogue!

Comfortable plates, don’t fit carriers well
These plates are pretty cool and I like the handles and ergonomic shape—feels good, but it really is a pain getting them to stay in place in my 5.11 TacTec plate carrier. was hoping for a better fit.
