MOLLE vs Slick Rear Bag

MOLLE Rear Bag: The MEPC offers a MOLLE-compatible rear bag, featuring an integrated webbing grid for the ultimate in customization. Attach pouches, packs, and other mission-essential accessories with ease, giving you rapid access to all your operational needs.

Slick Rear Bag: For operators seeking a minimalist profile, the MEPC also comes with a slick rear bag option. This design eliminates the drag handle and external webbing, providing a clean, low-profile look without sacrificing ballistic protection. It's the ideal choice for missions requiring speed, agility, and a reduced silhouette.

Cable Pass through

The cable pass-through on the MEPC is a specialized design feature intended for the convenient routing of cables, wires, or tubes. This pass-through allows for seamless management of communication equipment or other devices, facilitating a streamlined and efficient setup.

Admin Pocket

The admin pocket on the MEPC is a compact, easily accessible compartment located on the front, designed for storing essential administrative tools, documents, or accessories. It helps users keep important items within quick reach.

Enhanced Webbing

Our design features enhanced webbing that provides unparalleled versatility for placard adjustments and Push-to-Talk (PTT) management. This additional webbing also seamlessly integrates with both our breaching lanyard and the Recondite Strap kit, enabling easy self-access and rapid disconnection capabilities when used with the MEPC.

Shoulder Straps

Equipped with adjustable extended shoulder straps, the plate bag on our plate carrier ensures both comfort and adaptability for wearers of all sizes. These straps feature a dual-purpose design, allowing for efficient cable pass-through and the ability to tuck away excess strap material into the plate bag. This ensures a streamlined, snag-free profile that's ideal for mission-critical operations.

Removable QASM Buckles

Removable QASM buckles on the MEPC users to quickly and easily attach or detach gear and accessories as needed. These buckles offer a convenient and customizable way for users to secure their Placard and accessories to the MEPC, making it adaptable for various missions and loadouts without the need for complex reconfigurations.

Cummerbund Flap

This flap on the MEPC serves as an additional layer of security for the cummerbund. It helps keep the cummerbund in place, ensuring a snug and stable fit for the wearer. This added feature prevents the cummerbund from shifting and peeling during movement, enhancing overall comfort and safety.

Loop Field

Our plate carrier is engineered for adaptability, featuring a laser-cut loop field on the front for effortless attachment of EUD boards, morale patches, or identifiers. The rear comes equipped with a standard MOLLE loop field, adding another layer of customization. Both loop fields are crafted for a secure fit with hook-fastened patches, ensuring quick and tailored identification for any mission requirements.

Low Profile Drag Handle

Our rear MOLLE panel option features a low-profile, padded drag handle, constructed from reinforced tubular webbing. Seamlessly integrated into the plate bag, this robust handle is designed for quick and secure extraction in emergency scenarios, without adding unnecessary bulk or snag hazards.

PLATE CARRIER SIZING GUIDE

Key Points

  • Carrier Size Aligns with Plate Size: Your shirt or body size doesn't determine the carrier size.
  • Plate Variability: Keep in mind that plate dimensions can differ by ±1" between manufacturers.
  • Max Thickness: Our plate bags accommodate plates and backers up to 1.2" thick.

Carrier Sizing Based on Plate Dimensions

  • 8" x 10": Designed for 8" x 10" plates (SAPI, ESAPI, Shooter, Swimmer)
  • Small: Designed for 8.75" x 11.75" plates (SAPI, ESAPI, Shooter, Swimmer)
  • Medium: Designed for 9.5"x12.5" & Commercial 10"x12" plates (SAPI, ESAPI, Swimmer)
  • Large: Designed for plates up to 10.5”x13.5" (SAPI, ESAPI, Swimmer)
  • X-Large: Designed for 11" x 14" plates (SAPI, ESAPI, Shooter, Swimmer)

Proper Fitment & Placement

  • Avoid Oversizing: Oversizing can compromise your shooting stance and mobility due to extra weight.
  • Ideal Placement: The plate bag should align from your jugular notch to your belly button vertically, and from nipple to nipple horizontally.

Choose your carrier carefully, ensuring it fits both your plates and your body for optimal performance.
