For the average Evike Superstore employee, gear recommendations are part of their daily routine. Their personal creations not only reflect their unique preferences but also cater to practical roles on the airsoft field. Among the popular plate carrier brand choices here at Evike.com is Phantom Gear, who offer a handful of amazing plate carriers renowned for their comfort, aesthetic appeal, and affordability—making it a first recommendation for any player looking to get their first setup up and running.
In today’s installment of our Plate Carrier Build Analysis, we’ll take a look at a setup by Nathan Wilson, an Evike employee whose expertise led him to setup an epic gamer foam-blasting build. Join us as we delve into the details of Nate’s setup, exploring the thoughtful choices that make his plate carrier both functional and impressive on the airsoft battlefield. Let’s dive right in!
Question 1: Which plate carrier did you choose and why?
Wisdom of Nate: ”I chose the Phantom Gear Polarity because the quick detach system makes life so much easier.”
It seems that the Polarity has been a top pick throughout this store employee plate carrier build series! With how convenient the magnetic buckle system is, it’s not hard to see why. Many of its features are staples of modern plate carrier design, allowing many of the real-steel world’s most popular modern accessories to fit on with little hassle.
Question 2: Give us a tour of your plate carrier. What inspired it’s design?
Wisdom of Nate: ”You can see that the Koopa Troopas from Mario definitely inspired my build. I figured if the shell could protect them, it could protect me too.”
Nate is a capital G “Gamer” who loves to put subtle hints from his favorite video games into his gear setups. Utilizing the Agilite Micro Map back panel, Nate has a handy way to carry his helmet around while simultaneously LARPing as a big bad scary turtle. When enemy BB’s veer off their path towards him at the fearsome sight of his imposing shell, it gives Nate an opportunity to react and slug them with a .50 caliber foam dart.
Question 3: What do you think the most important accessory on your plate carrier is?
Wisdom of Nate: ”I would definitely say the quick detach table that I got. It helps any airsofter around the field with any tech problems that they may have.”
One of the Phantom Gear Polarity’s coolest features is its ability to offer a quick shelf on the fly. By quickly popping the QD buckles at the top, the Polarity’s rear panel can fold back to offer a table for any combat technicalities that may occur. Your battle buddy needs to check out their hopup unit mid firefight? Polarity Table. Gotta change a battery on your flashlight in the heat of the moment? Polarity Table. Having an insatiable itch to shoot a can and hear a satisfying metal ping mid firefight? Polarity Table.
Question 4: What kind of airsofter would you recommend your plate carrier to?
Wisdom of Nate: ”Those of you that like to run around with a shield generator, this one’s for you.”
Much like the soldiers who fight in the galactic battle for democracy, Nate’s plate carrier takes bullet deflection very seriously. Nate has noted that wearing this plate carrier has kept him alive longer on the airsoft battlefield, proving the koopa shield’s efficacy. He does receive the occasional “call your hit!” from a salty player who doesn’t respect the power of his shield, but the shield protects him from their vulgar words as well.
