The ultimate plate carrier for every mission.
The SMC Plate Carrier is our most advanced carrier design to date. The SMC (Shoot, Move, Communicate) is everything you’ve wanted in a lightweight, combat-ready plate carrier.
Key Features:
- Designed to carry a pair of 10”x12” hard plates or most large SAPI plates.
- Cummerbund features MOLLE/PALS style webbing for the addition of pouches for side plates, keeping your kidneys protected.
- Front panel includes an open pocket for maps, water/cable retention, or space for a fleece watch cap or gloves.
- “One size fits most” with adjustable shoulder straps and cummerbund for a snug fit.
- New ROC buckles on one shoulder strap (reversible) and either side of the cummerbund can be rapidly released in emergencies.
- Breathable mesh built into the cummerbund and inside faces of the carrier body for enhanced comfort.
- Interior padding enclosed in weave provides additional comfort and air channels to wick away moisture.
- Six rows of MOLLE/PALS style webbing with built-in matching loop material on the top three rows for attaching patches or ID panels.
- Laser cut laminate nylon offers modularity of traditional MOLLE webbing at a significant reduction in weight while remaining strong and water/chemical resistant.
- Longevity is increased as cut edges do not fray after being heat sealed with the laser.
