You did it backwards and probably want to cancel your order. 10x12’s should be used in a Medium carrier. You might email Crye and ask if they have any Medium Swimmer’s Cut carriers in stock, I bought mine at the worst time and they had them in stock. Swimmer’s cut aren’t as high demand and that’s what the L210 plates are.
I wear XL shirts, and I have a Medium plate carrier with 10x12’s. I’m going to switch to a more full featured carrier with Large SAPI’s just for the sake of my two setups needing to be more diverse than they are.
Body armor sizing:
1. Size the plates to fit your vitals zone (collarbone down to diaphragm, and width of lungs)
2. Pick plate carrier size that matched your plates (medium carriers fit medium plates; large carriers fit large plates)
3. Size Cummerbund to fit *you*. The standard cummerbund on any plate carrier generally fits almost all modestly healthy people. If you’re a giant or very overweight you may need larger.
