Touting their coat hanger as the “world’s strongest” isn’t much different from world’s best burger, but in this case, the World’s Strongest Coat Hanger from VK Plastics has certainly lived up to all my expectations.
These hangers were designed and manufactured in the USA (by American workers) for first responders, Law Enforcement, Fire Fighters, hunters and all outdoor enthusiasts who require a strong hanger to protect their investments. I’ve found them to be perfect for hanging plate carriers with body armor and for heavy scuba diving wetsuits or anything with substantial weight.
The World’s Strongest Coat Hanger
As mentioned in the video below, I’ve been using these coat hangers for may years and have recently found out where to source more of them. The Website theworldsstrongestcoathanger.com is what I stumbled onto after calling the phone number printed on one of the hangers. It’s very hard to spot if you’re not looking for it.
I’ve seen other “strong” coat hangers on the market, but I’m partial to these because of the features. Primarily my favorite feature other than the overall mass and strength are the strap notches on each shoulder. These are great for locking in the straps on a plate carrier and not allowing them to slide off. I also have utilized the “J” hooks many times for anything from backpacks to accessories.

One caveat to mention is that body armor manufacturers typically state to store their soft armor flat and to never hang it. I very much understand these instructions and am certainly not telling you to ignore their directions. Personally, if I know I won’t be using my soft armor for a long period of time, I’ll store it flat in a cool, dry area. Their are certainly times when you’ll just be wearing it again quickly and it’s not necessary to remove it from a carrier. That’s where a strong hanger comes in handy.

Where’s the hook & loop and paracord wrap?
All kidding aside, very cool product! I could use it for my heavier coats etc.
Thanks for the info!
Awesome. I have been looking for a good hanger. Wood ones have been the only kind that will hold my armor and chest rigs. These look way more functional. Just ordered a dozen to test them out. Thanks for the write up Bryan.
I’ve been hanging my body armor for years with no adverse effects. If you are storing it for a long period of time (for what ever reason) then flat is probably best.
I think its just one more check off the liability box for the manufacturers to say that. But I’m sure there are people out there who take it off and throw it in a corner after a shift. Like all SOP’s and general orders; someone did it once so now there are rules against it.
Thank you from Mark and me at VK Plastics! Check out more YouTube videos about our hangers by H&H Outdoors, All Hands Fire Supply and more! We have thousands in stock, and we usually ship the same day (before 3pm Eastern)! View all of our available colors at http://www.theworldsstrongestcoathanger.com.
Protect your investments! You need the world’s strongest coat hanger!
I hang my soft armor to dry & air in my locker. If I store it flat it will stay damp and smelly!
Good product – would buy if they shipped to the UK.
We DO ship to the UK. Send Mark an email message at fmedm@earthlink.net and ask about UK shipping. We usually ship to Europe and the UK via the US Post Office. Unfortunately we do not have a distributor in Europe though. If you know of one, send them our way!
Although my experience w/body armor has been with the old PAGST vests I’d think that hanging body armor after a long days wear would be a good idea, if I was wearing body armor on a regular basis I’d probably do the same as you and let it hang to air dry before storing if flat.
Bryan how about some info on the storage shelves in the background of the last two videos.
Thanks for the heads up on the hangers! I definitely need to get a few of these. BTW, what shelving/rack system is that in the pics? Thanks.
Just ordered 12
Nice. Very nice. So, when will these be in the ITS Store?
I was all in for some of these for my SCUBA gear until I saw that shipping was $11 for ONE HANGER!!!! They might be good but I’ll stick with a ScubaPro or Aqualung branded hanger. . .
Are thèse the toughest??
There’s a company called Carbonhangers in the UK that make hangers from carbon fibr. I have one of thèse and it certanly works with my Very heavy leather bike gear.
Okay at over $200 they are expensive but shipping is free and they look gorgeous!
