Application / Regulation advice Plate carriers

It’s hard to find much online. Some say you need a permit. Others say you just need a pal to buy a plate carrier in bc. I don’t want to do anything against the law. Is it legal to buy a plate carrier with just a pal in bc? On top of that. What are some good plate carrier recommendations? I was looking at the nexus

You don't need a PAL for a plate carrier, but in some provinces, a PAL is required for body armour.

BC will require a PAL for body armour. It totally depends on your budget of what you want.

Want to put a good amount into a solid one. I’m a firm believer of buy once cry once haha. Plan on getting some extra AR mag pouches for it. Afak kit all the bells and whistles

Not sure if you'd be interested in a Shaw Concepts Arc v2.

Shaw concepts arc v2 looks very nice. Probably will consider that one over the nexus tbh. Better features overall on the Shaw concepts. Thanks for mentioning that one
