Savotta Varjelus Plate Carrier Tactical Vest - M05 Finnish Woodland Camo
The Plate Carrier tactical vest is a modular accoutrement carrying system designed for use in difficult terrain conditions. It is made of durable 500D Cordura and rigid structural LDPE components, which ensures high durability while maintaining appropriate weight. The system includes a front and rear ballistic insert panel, skeletal cummerbund, and padded shoulder pads. The vest's design does not restrict movement, and its modularity allows it to be properly adapted to the user's needs.
durable 500D Cordura
The body of the vest is made of strong 500D Cordura, which guarantees resistance to mechanical damage. The structural elements of the cummerbund are made of laser-cut low-density polyethylene (LDPE), which provides the rigidity necessary for stable carrying of equipment without restricting ventilation. The materials used have near-infrared signature reduction (NIR) properties, which increases operational effectiveness in night conditions.
PALS webbing, velcro panels, evacuation handle
The outer surfaces of the panels and the cummerbund are covered with PALS-standard webbing, allowing modular expansion with additional pockets and accessories. On the chest and upper back there are velcro panels measuring 10 x 25 cm for attaching markings and patches. The cummerbund is secured with elastic cords and cord locks, which allows the circumference to be adjusted instantly without unfastening the entire system. In the upper part of the rear panel, an evacuation handle with a length of 58 cm is integrated, hidden in a compartment. It is activated by pulling the protruding section of webbing.
ballistic insert pockets, modular placard accoutrement system
The vest's design is based on a modular placard accoutrement system, which ensures full freedom in selecting pouches and pockets. The front panel allows the installation of ready-made systems attached with buckles or velcro. The ballistic insert pockets allow carrying plates measuring 25 x 30 cm (SAPI M) and soft inserts up to 35 mm thick, offering depth adjustment with internal webbing.

M05 camouflage
The M05 camouflage (Finnish M05 Maastokuvio) is a family of pixelated camouflage patterns introduced into the Finnish Defence Forces in 2005 as a successor to the M91 pattern. It was developed based on digital analysis of photographs of Finnish forests taken in different seasons by the Finnish Forest Research Institute. The M05 family includes several variants, such as woodland, snow, and cold weather.
The main woodland version of M05 consists of patches in light green, dark green, brown, and dark graphite, effectively replicating the structure of Finnish forests. Due to similar vegetation and terrain conditions, the M05 Woodland camouflage also performs well in the forests of Central and Eastern Europe, providing effective concealment in natural surroundings.

Cordura is a material woven from durable nylon fibers, developed by DuPont. The structure of the material provides lightness and abrasion resistance, as well as weather resistance. Due to its properties, Cordura is widely used in tactical equipment.
PALS (Pouch Attachment Ladder System) is a modular mounting system for pockets and pouches, used in the MOLLE system. It consists of horizontally sewn rows of 1 inch (25.4 mm) wide, fixed spacing webbing (such as on a backpack) and vertical webbing for attachment and threading (on a pocket). This system is usually equipped with snaps, which further secures the pinned items.
