With the Esstac 5.56 QUAD Daeodon Front Panel you no longer need a mounting system and front flap on your plate carrier. The front panel removes weight and streamlines the front of your plate carrier. Magazines are secured inside this placard with the Esstac KYWI inserts.
The Quad 5.56 front panel option is for those who need that extra mag up front and can live with the downside of a wider placard.
The Quad 5.56 is a wide pouch, best used on Large and X-Large plate carriers. It will overhang on either side(about 1") and is best used with the cummerbund ends attached closer to the outer edge for more grip of the velcro.
The Front Panel works with any plate carrier that has 1" female buckles attached to its front (buckles need to be spread 6" apart from the inside of the buckles). Also make sure your carrier has loop velcro under the buckles (on the abdomen area) so the front panel can attach securely.
Front panels also act as your cummerbund flap. To swap panels, simply pop the two buckles and remove the front panel. Replace with another.
