    Sciath…. Celtic for shield

  2. Doug E. Doug says:

    It is definitely more ergonomic in it’s lines and edges than most PC’s, and looks a bit biological. So “Carapace.”

  3. Mike Guerin says:

    Aegis… Which was the shield, buckler, or breastplate of Athena or of Zeus. Also a large collar or cape worn in ancient times to display the protection provided by a high religious authority or the holder of a protective shield signifying the same, such as a bag-like garment that contained a shield.

  4. Jayson cummins says:

    Armadillo

  5. johnny says:

    If they are looking for a new name for it, why not just join the club and call it something like the “Velites II lightweight assaulter plate carrier”?

  6. Joseph dunleavy says:

    Valiant shield p.c

  7. War Sport says:

    Like the “assaulter plate carrier” idea from “Johnny”. Could shorten it and make it Hardpoint A.P.C.

  8. stephen says:

    I’d go with Phalanx

  9. SPC T says:

    Not sure about a new name but how about a punchline: “not all insurance is in a policy form.”

  10. tom says:

    what about h.a.d.e.s 2- (hardpoint, armored,defensive, exoskeletal, system.)

  11. John says:

    How about another new fucking piece of kit with proprietary shit that costs to damn much, but stuff does the same damn job as my RRV and a set of plates?

    • Thomas C. says:

      If you were to spend any time learning about the system, before running your suck, John, you would know that it does a few things that NO other plate carrier does, such as allow you to position, remove and replace and all of the pieces, including the MOLLE panels.

      A lot of work went into developing this thing, in order to offer a capability that did not previously exist. Have a little respect, dude.

      Ya know, I don’t show up where you work and slap dicks out of your mouth. If its something you aren’t the least interested in why do you feel the need to come in and talk shit? I just don’t get the mentality of some of you guys.

      • JD says:

        Wow. Way to put it down. I’m not sure of the name but “Slap Dicks” would be cool. I like to call my chesty stuff training bra’s and thta is the vivtoria secret of training bra’s. I’m sure slap dicks laminate plate and frayed carrier are good for his closet or trunk but I like that piece of gear. Maybe some sort of acronym? A.P.S. (Anti Pneumothorax System) or 3-4T/5-6S for the rib count and placement? Anyway, very high speed, low draggish’. Stay sharp.

    Hard C.O.R.E. combat operator readiness equipment

    Super Go Go Action Vest!

  14. David Howlett says:

    Iron Force

  15. Tim B says:

    Triarii – A class ancient roman infantry – usually the most experienced with the best equipment . They were meant to be used as a decisive force in the battle, thus prompting an old Roman saying: ‘Going to the triarii’ (res ad triarios venit), which meant carrying on to the bitter end. An updated version of Velites – or light infantry.

    Thanks for the great suggestions so far. We have been receiving input from various sources and this is where I am leaning at this point: “C.M.A.S.” for “Core Modular Armor System” or “A.M.A.S.” for “Auxilia Modular Armor System”.

    What do think–good or no good?

  20. Thomas C. says:

    Name changes are (mostly) done for several of our products now. We not only changed the names, but also the theme behind the naming system.

    Please check it out and let us know what you think.
