SPITFIRE MK II Plate Carrier

SPITFIRE MK II Plate Carrier

Second-generation plate carrier, developed from operational experience to simplify construction and reduce weight compared to the original model. It is delivered without a front flap or complex side panels, allowing the kit to be configured with only the necessary accessories.

The plate carrier consists of front and rear plate pockets, shoulder straps, and elastic side panels. The pockets are secured with flaps and Velcro, and their size corresponds to standard SAPI ballistic plates. The interior is made of elastic softshell material, with two soft Velcro strips for attaching compatible padding to improve comfort.

The front of the chest pocket features a large Velcro area on the lower half for attaching the sides and the front flap or a compatible chest rig. On both sides, there are three holes for attaching additional panels with radio pouches or modular attachments. The upper part incorporates laser-cut PALS/MOLLE modular fabric and a Velcro panel for patches, a 15 × 11 cm flat zippered pocket, and two cable routing slots for the PTT button.

On the sides, there are two Velcro loops for securing hydration system hoses or radio antennas, as well as two detachable female Fastex buckles for connecting compatible front flaps or chest rigs. It also supports accessories from Direct Action and brands such as Mayflower or Velocity Systems, provided they share a buckle spacing of approximately 19 cm.

The shoulder straps are sewn to the front pocket and are adjustable in length via Velcro. They support optional padding and include laser cuts, elastic cable retainers, and two loops for routing cables or a hose. On the back, the plate pocket offers two wide Velcro strips: the upper one for patches, combined with a row of modular attachment points, and the lower one for adjusting the cummerbund. On the top edge, there is an emergency drag handle and a covered zipper interface, compatible with back panels or backpacks based on the Crye Precision AVS standard.

The side panels are simple and serve to secure the plate carrier to the body; thanks to the elastic band, the fit is stable and does not restrict movement.
