Armor & Tactical Tools
Free, practical tools for every setup — read an armor label's level name, weigh a plate carrier, measure for a plate, plan a MOLLE field, and total a loadout.
Body Armor Level Guide
Read the level name on an armor label: which NIJ standard defines it, NIJ's own rename between Standard 0101.06 and Standard 0123.00, and where the test threats are listed
Plate Carrier Weight Calculator
Total the worn weight of a loaded carrier or vest from your own plate, carrier and pouch weights (or example figures), in pounds and kilograms
Armor Plate Size Finder
Convert your torso and width measurements to inches and centimeters for a plate maker's own sizing chart; fit is the maker's chart, so this page does not pick a size
MOLLE Capacity Planner
Estimate how much a MOLLE webbing field can carry — enter the rows and columns of webbing to see the attachment points and roughly how many small pouches will fit before you plan a layout
Gear Loadout Weight Calculator
Add up your kit item by item and, with your body weight, see the load as a share of body weight beside a common 20% rule of thumb for comfort (not a medical limit)
