SWIFT Hook Collapsible Gear Hanger | Body Armor and Vest Hanger
The SWIFT Hook is a collapsible gear hanger from Swift Stands. Closed, it is an 8.7 inch cylinder that fits a cargo pocket or a cup holder. Open, it is a 17.5 inch hanger rated to 100 pounds for a ballistic vest, plate carrier, or duty belt.
Two positions
The arms lock angled, to follow the shoulders of a carrier or outer carrier, or flat, for a duty belt, jacket, or pack. Wide arms hold the front and back panels apart so air reaches both sides and the vest dries faster than it would on a chair back.
Where it goes
Hotel closet on a training trip. Locker at the station. Headrest post in a patrol car. Glove box. It weighs 15 ounces, and Swift Stands reports it passes airport security in a carry-on.

Questions
Will it hold a loaded plate carrier?
Yes. Swift Stands rates the Hook to 100 pounds.
Is this a clothes hanger?
It works as one, but it was built for body armor and duty gear. The arms are wider than a clothes hanger, and the pins are stainless steel with zinc-nickel plating for sweat and weather.
