The Shadow Plate carrier was designed to take care of the three fundamental concerns when bullets are flying and survival is on the line: SPEED, SAFETY and COMFORT. It incorporates the latest materials' technology offering superior utility and comfort, no matter the situation. Ultra Light Weight Polymer Cobra (TM) buckles on the shoulders and cummerbund allow for fast donning and doffing. Stretch material in the cummerbund offers increased comfort, especially during high-intensity situations when breathing and heart rate are elevated. A front modular system allows interchanging mission-specific gear within seconds, not minutes like traditional plate carriers.
