A lighter weight plate carrier with padded, adjustable shoulder straps designed with removable cummerbund that eliminates side plate pockets for more maneuverability and allows for wear with front and back plates. Carrier will accept front and rear plates 10Wx12H x1/2 D. When cummerbund is worn without side plates, the empty pockets can carry your maps or other gear. Carrier and cummerbund have MOLLE webbing for attaching your pouches. One size fits most.
