Helikon-Tex Aegis Lite Plate Carrier Tactical Vest - Black
Designed for tactical use, the Plate Carrier vest in black is constructed from highly durable and abrasion-resistant 500D Cordura. Its ergonomic design ensures maximum freedom of movement and can be tailored to suit individual user preferences. Featuring velcro panels for attachments, mounting buckles for modular upgrades, and both front and back compartments for ballistic plates, it supports the SAPI/ESAPI standard.
damage-resistant cordura, DWR
Constructed from 500D Cordura fabric, the model delivers exceptional durability while remaining lightweight. The material offers heightened resistance to abrasion, tearing, and challenging weather conditions. Vest design has been engineered for optimal mechanical strength in demanding field environments and during rigorous use. A supplemental DWR (Durable Water Repellency) coating increases water repellency, helping to prevent saturation, promote quicker drying, enhance stain resistance, and optimize breathability.
Pockets for ballistic inserts
Available in two size variants, each defined by the dimensions of the pockets for ballistic plates:
- Medium (31.5 x 24.5 cm)
- Large (33.7 x 26 cm)
Durable construction, emergency handle
Pockets for ballistic plates are positioned at the front and rear of the vest. The elastic Cummerbund side belt and the adjustable shoulder straps ensure swift and convenient customization to fit the wearer’s physique. Modular expansion is enabled by mounting buckles placed on the front panel. An evacuation handle is integrated at the back and can function as a carrying handle as well. Buckles and attachment elements are sourced from the reputable brand Woojin Plastic.
Elastic Cummerbund, 6 pouches
The cummerbund features 6 integrated pouches, with 3 on each side, specifically designed to accommodate AK and AR-15 magazines or other similarly sized gear, including PMR radios. An elastic Shock-Cord with a pull tab keeps the contents secure and prevents them from falling out. Adjustment to fit is made fast and simple by Velcro panels, enabling the vest to conform rapidly to the user's body size.
Velcro panels
Both the front and rear sections of the model feature large Velcro panels designed for attaching extra gear and enabling the placement of various markings, emblems, patches, or Morale Patches. The attachment system ensures versatile configuration options tailored to the user's requirements.
