Whiskey Two Four’s PIMPS (Practical Integrated Modular Platform, Scalable) PALS Back Panel 64 for Crye Precision* JPC 2.0 is available in medium and large. Back Panel 64 was developed using a medium and large SAPI plate and a medium and large Crye JPC 2.0 for the respective sizes.
Back Panel 64 uses milspec elastic and VELCRO® Brand ONE-WRAP® loops for hydro and cable routing. YKK heavy duty zipper pull tabs tuck securely and silently into milspec elastic loops at the base. A combo laser cut PALS/loop field accepts ID, IFF, patches, etc. Rather than depending on a stiffener, we opted to connect Back Panel 64’s corners to the Crye JPC 2.0’s shoulder straps to minimize saggy sag and floppy flop tendencies. Connectors are skeletonized so as to not interfere with factory features. Back Panel 64 has laser cut PALS throughout for maximum flexibility. JPC 2.0’s drag handle is still accessible after adding Back Panel 64.
Back Panel 64 is Berry compliant and made in the USA. Back Panel 64 uses ACRONYM made from MIL-DTL-32439 500D nylon, A-A-55126 nylon hook & loop, A-A-59826 bonded nylon thread, MIL-W-5664 nylon elastic, YKK USA heavy duty zippers, and well compensated, skilled labor to produce a cost effective part.
WTF’s Back Panel 64 is manufacturable. Whether for direct or dealer sale, this design is realistic for us to keep in stock or near stock with (as close to) on demand cut & sew (as we can get) and replenishing inventory on the fly. This design represents a balance of durability, ease of assembly, machine operator fatigue reduction, COTS materials use, cost effective cut and sew methods, self jigging/locating design, scalability, and usability.
Back Panel 64 for Crye JPC 2.0, medium is lightweight at just 5.4 / 154g. $69 introductory price.

A few years ago, German armor company Mehler bought Lindnerhof-Taktik GmbH which introduced load carriage to their offerings and then UF PRO which specializes in clothing. These two brands joined Mehler Law Enforcement GmbH and Mehler Engineered Defence GmbH, forming Mehler Vario System GmbH. This made them a very effective, vertically integrated company to support military and law enforcement across Europe.
They just recently introduced Modular Universal Scalable Technology or M.U.S.T., an integrated solution which offers, armor, load carriage and clothing.
To kick things off, they’ve offered three examples of systems available under M.U.S.T. Here is the Ultra light setup, the RECCE.
The minimalist version (RECCE) is based on the ultra lightweight plate carrier. Together with a 2-row waist belt and ultra light VPAM 6 plates for the front and back, a plate carrier can be configured which can be easily worn, even for long periods under a STRIKER STEALTH SMOG or MONSOON rain jacket. The system is complemented by a tactical climbing harness and a sleeve for attaching MOLLE equipment and holsters.
One of the things you have to remember as an American reader is that they are a European company and use European standards for armor. In particular, you will note the VPAM (Association of Test Centres for Attack-Resistant Materials and Designs) testing standard, which is applicable in many countries, including Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Holland, Belgium and Norway.
Check out their website for information on additional M.U.S.T. solutions.

Next year, the United States Marine Corps will begin fielding the 84mm MAAWS, a recoilless rifle weapons system to every squad in the corps. While the original version of the launcher was introduced in 1946, the ammunition has evolved significantly. The newest round, developed by Raytheon, is a precision-laser guided projectile with a multi-target warhead, capable of defeating bunkers, concrete, light-skinned vehicles and armored personnel carriers. Additionally, it has a range of nearly 2,000 meters and can be fired from inside an enclosed room.
FirstSpear is proud to announce it has received a contract to produce up to 10,200 of the company’s 84mm MAAWS Ammunition Pouch, to help Marines carry munitions under a balanced load in combat situations and quickly deploy them as needed. Awarded on September 25, 2020, the company is already ramping up production and will manufacture all pockets in the U.S. with Berry Compliant materials.
FirstSpear designed the pouch to be adjustable in length from 18 to 38 inches to accommodate a variety of projectiles, to meet current infrared requirements, and be compatible with current Marine Corps load bearing equipment. Zippered across both ends for ease of loading, the closed pocket design limits sand and debris exposure. It features an internal pocket primer protector and it comes equipped with an adjustable sling and tube straps for use with a hard case. Like all FirstSpear products, the 84mm MAAW Ammunition Pouch was designed to be durable, lightweight and highly functional.
