SPITFIRE® MK II Plate Carrier

SPITFIRE® MK II Plate Carrier

The SPITFIRE® MK II Plate Carrier is the second generation of the Spitfire plate carrier, developed based on user feedback. Its construction has been simplified to reduce weight compared to the original model and it is delivered without a front platform or complex side panels, so it can be configured with the accessories each user actually needs.

The plate carrier consists of front and rear plate bags, with shoulder pads and elastic side panels. The plate pockets close with a Velcro flap and are sized for standard SAPI ballistic plates. The interior features elastic softshell material and two soft fleece strips for attaching comfort padding, which is purchased separately.

The front section combines a Velcro base on the lower half, designed for attaching side panels or a compatible front platform, with three holes on each side for attaching additional panels with a radio pocket or modular attachment. The upper area features laser-cut PALS/MOLLE, a Velcro panel for patches, a 15 x 11 cm flat zippered pocket, and two cable loops for radio PTTs.

On the front sides, it includes two Velcro loops to secure a hydration system tube or radio antenna, as well as two removable female fastex-type buckles for connecting compatible front platforms or chest rigs. It also supports accessories from Direct Action and brands like Mayflower or Velocity Systems that share the same buckle spacing of approximately 19 cm.

The shoulder pads are sewn to the front panel, are adjustable in length via Velcro, and can be completed with padding. They incorporate laser-cut holes, elastic cable organizers, and two loops for routing cables or tubes. On the back, there are two wide Velcro strips: the upper one is for patches and is combined with a row of modular attachment; the lower one is used to adjust the vest's circumference. An emergency drag handle is located on the top edge, and on the sides, there is a zipper closure compatible with the Crye Precision AVS standard for attaching back panels or backpacks.

The side panels are simple and designed to secure the vest to the user's body. Thanks to the use of elastic rubber, the plate carrier adapts well and does not limit movement.
