Back to work on the v2 Plate Carrier, old cummerbund design (top) with new version below. Redesign is a lightweight webbing construction with integrated MOLLE loops. In colder conditions the (optional) padded back can be added via MOLLE without interfering with any attached pouches.

Introducing the 'compact' utility pouch, same overall size as the standard version but half the depth, ideal for attaching on other MOLLE equipment.
Built with the same YKK zippers and high quality fabric as the full size version.
