This system provides for the immediate cutaway release of the SPITFIRE Plate Carrier. Its design allows for quick and easy reassembly of the Plate Carrier without the cutaway elements. Created primarily with waterborne operations in mind, the SPITFIRE Cutaway System also allows for immediate battlefield assessment and treatment of a wounded team-mate, and then quick and simple reconfiguring and reassembling the wounded person’s Plate Carrier for armor protection during transportation / evacuation.
Taking its name from the famous WWII fighter plane, the SPITFIRE plate carrier is a streamlined, lightweight, non-restricting and dynamic platform. It is one of the lightest, yet durable, plate carriers on the market and is also unique in its modularity – converting to a cut-away rig in just a few simple steps.
