Aardvark’s System 7 debuted at SHOT Show but that venue is so big I didn’t get a chance to check it out. That’s why I attend so many smaller, regional shows. You never know what cool item you’ll get to see.
The System 7 armor vest is manufactured by Safariland’s Protech exclusively for Aardvark and incorprates all of the latest technologies like laser cut, laminated materials from Blue Force Gear and Tubes from FirstSpear.
The carrier is available with Velcro closure or Tubes. You might also notice the angled laser cut PALS slots. Aardvark says that internal testing has shown that this Angled MOLLE field is stronger in pull testing than more traditional horizontal slots.
The are numerous soft armor packages available for the vest from Safariland. Naturally, hard armor plates are also available but interestingly, they load into the carrier from the top. Additionally, Aardvark offers removable upper arm, groin and throat armor to be used in conjunction with the base vest.
Above and below you can see the front and rear of the MultiCam and OD versions of the armor vest although Black versions are also available.
