Spartan Armor Systems’ Gen 2 Leonidas Legend plate carrier is proudly made in the U.S.A. and 100% Berry Compliant, making it an ideal choice for Law Enforcement, Military or Concerned Citizens alike.
Tucson, Ariz. (December 2021) – Spartan Armor Systems®, manufacturers of American-designed and made body armor, tactical gear, and targets, proudly announce the second generation Leonidas Legend plate carrier with new enhancements designed to meet the most rigorous demands of the modern operator. Enhanced with lightweight Squadron laser-cut laminate material over a Cordura 500D body, the Leonidas Legend plate carrier is built to last. The Leonidas Legend features effective thin and lightweight high density foam standoffs for air circulation, enhanced shoulder pads, quick release cummerbund and many more upgrades.
With enhanced padding in the front, back and shoulders, the Leonidas Legend is designed to minimize fatigue and maximize comfort during extended duty use. The tough, but soft, spacer mesh helps this carrier breathe while facilitating heat dissipation. The fully adjustable (and removeable) cummerbund provides seven levels of adjustment, allowing for a variety of body types ranging from L to 3XL. High abrasion laminate exterior panels not only provide a super low profile mounting solution, but reduces weight while shielding the 500D Cordura body.
The Leonidas Legend comes standard with MOLLE side plate pouches capable of holding 6”x6” or 6”x8” armored side plates. Each shoulder pad also features multi-directional laser-cut webbing to allow for greater freedom in mounting and retainment options. First Spear Tubes are integrated into the cummerbund to allow for faster dawning and removal of the carrier. The top zippered admin pouch is capable of holding smartphones up to 6.5” long. Additional storage is also provided by way of the front kangaroo pouch which is retained by hook-and-loop. The Leonidas Legend plate carrier is proudly made in the U.S.A. and 100% Berry Compliant making it an ideal choice for Law Enforcement, Military or Concerned Citizens alike.

Now you can! Arbor Arms has released 2 new Cummerbund upgrade kits to cover all US Army standard issue armor carriers.
The IOTV Tubes®/Taktic FLEX Cummerbund Kit (US Army) covers the currently-issued Soldier Plate Carrier System (SPCS) Gen2, Improved Outer Tactical Vest (IOTV) Gen4, Modular Scalable Vest (MSV) Gen1, MSV Gen2 and other carriers that utilize the National Molding Quad Release system. It gives you your choice of the ubiquitous First Spear Tubes® or the more budget-friendly Taktic Buckle. The buckle adaptor pushes the Tubes® to the edge of the MOLLE front flap for daily doff-and-don while maintaining the emergency release of the Quad release system already used on these carriers. You also get to choose between Arbor Arms 2- or 3-strand FLEX Elastic Cummerbund, which gives the streamlined comfort and breathability of elastic while maintaining the MOLLE real-estate and combat load carrying support of a static cummerbund. Because it fits so many different armor carriers there are several rear cummerbund anchor options that are included with the kit. This also allows you to maintain your cummerbund kit as you change units and armor systems.
As with above kit the SPCS Gen1 FLEX Cummerbund Kit (US Army) has the same great features, but tying in to the cable emergency release on the legacy SPCS Gen1 carrier as there are MANY still in circulation.
The 2- or 3-strand options allow you to tailor your cummerbund to your needs. For example, the 2-strand FLEX Cummerbunds are great if you want to minimize bulk and run slick sides. The 3-strand FLEX Cummerbunds are ideal for maximum load support with side SAPIs and radios mounted internally, as well as mags, frags, and GP pouches mounted externally. Arbor Arms Side SAPI Pouches and Minimalist Radio Pouches (MRP) make a great addition for internal mounting on our FLEX or other MOLLE cummerbunds.
Although the Marines have been fielding the Gen III Plate Carrier many still use the older Gen II model. Shaw Concepts produced this video on cost effective solutions as well as their own after market products as well as those from others.
In their 10th year in business, Haley Strategic makes a big announcement, their new Thorax plate carrier.
It’s a very well thought out design, made from laminate and Tweave with traditional sewn PALS webbing for strength and limited Velcro fields fore and aft. Also, look for cable management built into the plate bags.
One unique feature is the dragonfly shaped thermoform pad down the center of the plate bag s which offers venting as well as padding and will help keep your chin from being banged up on your plate. They’ve also introduced their own buckles to the design.
The Thorax is available with either a traditional cummerbund, cummerbund with side entry panels, or a Chicken Strap which is a rigid, lightweight, alternative to a standard cummerbund.
Accessories include shoulder pads, MOLLE placard, triple rifle mag placard, chicken strap plate pockets, chicken strap radio pocket and cable management, cummerbund plate cap, and cummerbund radio pocket.
But the best way to learn about Thorax is to listen to Travis Haley himself discuss this project which is seven years in the making.
How about the ending of that video? It meant a lot to me. But as Travis mentioned, there are multiple other videos which depict various aspects of the Thorax.
It’s available in Black, Coyote, Grey, Ranger Green, MultiCam, and MultiCam Black.
