Description
Design
Meticulous design creates a structure that fits snugly against the body, further enhancing the compatibility between the wearer and the armor. Simply put, we know how the body moves and how materials move, so we took that knowledge and developed the FCPC V5, perfecting it and potentially making it even better.
Materials used
This vest is made from a 500D Cordura® laminate that's designed to withstand the elements (like a Trader Joe's parking lot on a Sunday afternoon). This material was chosen over traditional materials to save weight and increase durability where it's needed.
To address the current plate size issues, we have added Tweave Durastretch® panels to allow for a wider range of plate sizes and greater stability.
Adaptability and usability
FCPC V5 has been developed with the ADAPT philosophy to provide greater flexibility in use, with the following new features:
- A new back zipper system, built into the back armor plate pocket, allows for quick and easy replacement of ADAPT back panels while maintaining laser-cut MOLLE support for compatible equipment.
- New upgraded front armor plate pockets add hidden G-hook mounting points, allowing for seamless installation of ADAPT front flaps.
- Adjustable shoulder straps allow you to change the straps and hardware to your preferred side and use it with other strap attachment devices.
- Full-size multi-purpose front pouch with laser-cut MOLLE panel, can be equipped with mission carrying equipment such as ATAK (Android Tactical Assault Kit) and other accessories.
Choose the right size for your armor plate.
The size of the armor does not depend on the size of your clothes, but on the size of the armor plates you use.
