The CIRAS is a BALCS/SPEAR carrier with the ability to also carry hard plates. It isn't a "Plate Carrier" in the normal sense of the term since it is designed to carry wrap-around soft armor as well as plates.
As far as plates go they are made to fit the different sizes of SAPI and ESAPI plates as issued to the military. I don't have one on hand to measure, but I believe that small plates measure about 9"x12".
I think small is 8"x10" and medium is 10"x12" (just measured one that I had on hand).
CGsteve what soft armor are you running for the CIRAS?
Just measured a USGI ESAPI, Medium, manufactured 06/05. It's 9.5" x 12.5". Drop an inch or so in each dimension, you have your Small sizing, bearing in mind that there will be some give and take depending on whatever manufacturer you end up with.
Contact Triad Tactical and/or Grey Group directly to ask them about sizings on the items they carry. They'll answer any questions you have; good folks, and not the only ones out there.
