Designed by the ArmorWorks WarriorWorks Team to be used with PALS compatible pouches, the Modular Plate Carrier trades external webbing for slots cut into a new impregnated fabric. It’s tough. We gave a few tugs at SHOT Show and it can’t be torn by hand. The unique construction offers over 150 MOLLE gear, cable, and hydration connection points. Designed for ESAPI/SAPI plates and soft armor inserts, it offers multiple configuration options including integrated water bladder, cummerbunds, side plates, soft armor, radio pouches, and a similarly designed combat belt. Additionally, a load distribution and quick-release versions are coming soon.

Looks an awful lot like the Crye Airweight Plate Carrier
This design is actually the complete opposite of the Crye version. If anything this looks similar to Asgaard, First Spear, and Spec Ops designs. The good thing about these new developments a lot more companies are trying a similar concept through different means.
The Crye Airlite appears to have less fabric, and Crye is using a proprietary fabric (much like I’d assume ArmorWorks is).
Though the intent is similar, the execution is different.
No, it doesn’t.
I’m definitely interested to see if this new design takes a hold over traditional PALS webbing. Granted, I’m not going to switch out all my gear for this new stuff just to save a few ounces, it is still cool.
It is compatible with standard pouches and other MOLLE Compatible attachments.
Yep
First Spear actually were the developers of this concept with their 612 tubes system, and as is SOP in the nylon game other companies are trying to skirt around the IP protection and rip it off. It also appears to be made out of hypolon or a variant there of which is not a proprietary fabric, once again not original as Blue Force Gear was the first nylon company to start building kit in that material for their Helium Whisper line.
FS maybe was the First Company published this ne approach on webbing, but the other companys not developed their systems on shotshow 😉 So perhaps we will never know who was first, but i dont care, we will see which ones system will be superior. Im allways happy about competition on market.
Innovation breeds healthy competition. As long as products arent platantly ripped off from company to company it benefits the industry. Making all designers be cutting edge and think outside the box.
