HECAT Plate Carrier - Lightweight Tactical Vest

HECAT Plate Carrier - Lightweight Tactical Vest

Low-profile tactical plate carrier based on the modular Spitfire model. It combines various materials to offer low weight and adequate durability. Its distribution of sewn-in pouches and construction allow for discreet use under a jacket or visible over a uniform.

The plate carrier consists of front and rear plate bags, with shoulder straps and elastic sides. The plate bags are closed by a flap with a Velcro closure, and their size corresponds to the SAPI standard. The interior of the bags is made of elastic softshell material.

The front of the front bag incorporates a 13 x 9 cm Velcro panel for patches, two loops for securing a radio PTT button, and two detachable female Fastex buckles for attaching compatible front platforms. The supplied platform includes three open elastic pouches for AR15 magazines; thanks to narrower internal rubber straps, they can also be used with submachine gun or pistol magazines. Below the platform, on both sides, there are three holes for attaching additional panels with a radio pocket or modular mounting. The shoulder straps are sewn to the front bag and are adjustable in length via Velcro; they also incorporate laser-cut openings for routing radio cables.

The rear bag has two wide strips of Velcro, the top one for patches and the bottom one for adjusting the vest's circumference, as well as an emergency drag handle.

The sides are formed by two layers of wide elastic rubber that also act as pouches. Their width is approximately that of an AR15 magazine or an impact grenade. The front pouches are divided into two compartments by narrower rubber for use with submachine gun or pistol magazines. The rear pouches are designed to carry a radio: they feature a Velcro bottom to adjust depth and an elastic cord with a pull tab at the top. The sides are attached to the vest via Velcro, which also allows for perimeter adjustment.
