High Speed Gear (HSGI) is headquartered in Swansboro, North Carolina, where it operates as the largest full-time employer in the community. Founded in 1999 as a custom shop making gear for Marines at Camp Lejeune, HSGI has grown into an industry leader known for the patented TACO pouch system and Sure-Grip Padded Belt. Every product is 100% American-made and Berry Amendment compliant, meeting strict military procurement standards. HSGI gear is user-driven, designed from operational feedback from military special operations units, federal and state law enforcement agencies, and responsibly armed citizens. All products carry a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
The Core Plate Carrier is HSGI's lightweight, minimalist armor system designed for users who need protection without bulk. Built for active shooter response, patrol, and tactical operations, it accepts standard SAPI-cut plates while keeping overall weight minimal. The low-profile design rides close to the body, allowing full range of motion and compatibility with vehicle operations. Quick-adjust side straps ensure a secure fit regardless of what layers you're wearing underneath. Black provides a professional, uniform-compliant appearance that matches standard duty gear and tactical loadouts. It shows minimal wear and won't fade over time.
