The SMC Plate Carrier is a lightweight, combat-ready plate carrier.
It has been in development for the past two years.
Designed to carry a pair of 10×12 hard plates or most large SAPI plates.
Cummerbund features MOLLE/PALS style webbing for the addition of pouches for side plates.
Front panel features an open pocket for maps, water/cable retention, or enough room for a cell phone or gloves.
It is “one size fits most” thanks to adjustable shoulder straps and cummerbund.
ROC buckles on one shoulder strap (reversible) and either side of the cummerbund can be rapidly released in case of emergency.
Breathable mesh built into the cummerbund and inside faces of the carrier body for enhanced comfort.
Interior padding enclosed in tweave gives the wearer additional comfort and air channels to wick away moisture.
There are six rows of MOLLE/PALS style webbing with built-in matching loop material on the top three rows for the option of attaching patches or ID panels.
Laser cut laminate nylon gives you all the modularity of traditional MOLLE webbing at a significant reduction in weight while remaining strong and water/chemical resistant.
YKK Zippers and webbing on the back panel are designed for attaching any one of the new SMC zippered back panels.
All these panels are compatible with SOCOM issued carriers with zippered back panel systems.
