Wosport 6x6" Side Dummy Plates — Black

Wosport side dummy plates are plastic replicas of ballistic side plates measuring 15 x 15 cm (6x6"), designed to fit into the side plate pockets of plate carriers and tactical vests. They are supplied as a pair and offer no ballistic protection: their purpose is to fill the space intended for side plates, restoring the correct profile to the kit during training or loadout assembly.

Anyone putting together a training or milsim kit knows that a plate carrier with empty side pockets loses its shape, shifts around and behaves differently in movement. Inserting these replicas keeps the vest's original form, distributes the volume evenly and allows you to work on your loadout setup with the same bulk you would have with real plates. The added weight is negligible compared to an actual plate, which makes this accessory useful even for movement drills where total weight is deliberately kept low.

The trade-off is straightforward: the hollow plastic construction keeps weight and cost down, but it does not replicate the mass of a real side plate, which in Level III+ versions can exceed 500 g per side. For those training posture and kit silhouette without needing to replicate the weight, this is the right choice. For those who want to condition the body to lateral load, denser dummy plate options should be considered.

Key points

• Ready-to-use pair: no modifications needed, they fit straight into standard 15 x 15 cm side plate pockets.
• They maintain the shape of the plate carrier during training, preventing empty pockets from collapsing or deforming.
• Low weight: suited to sessions focused on mobility without the load of real plates.
• No ballistic protection: the function is purely volumetric and aesthetic, and should be clearly noted in kit management.
• Hollow plastic construction: holds up to daily training use and is not affected by corrosion or moisture degradation.
