The FirstSpear Strandhögg MBAV Cut Plate Carrier is easily tailored for comfort, ventilation, and fit. It utilizes a time proven ballistic footprint that affords the user more pocket attachment area than designs that are cut edge-to-edge. It can be worn with or without soft armor panels (depending on your ballistic requirements, threat conditions, and the type of hard armor plate you have).
The Strandhögg MBAV uses the Overlap Cummerbund that provides additional overlapping soft armor at the front side of the plate carrier where the Tubes closure system meets. The additional soft armor tucks in behind the Tubes allowing full opening and closing of the vest (soft armor inserts for the cummerbund are optional and sold seperately).
Available with or without NIJ Category IIIA.06 soft armor ballistic inserts.
Size corresponds to plate size.

Maximizing the lightweight 6/12 technology and rapid closure systems provided by the Tubes, the MBAV Cut Plate Carrier can be rapidly donned or doffed. On the exterior of the front panel, rear panel, and cummerbund; a field of 6/12 allows for easy pocket attachment.
FirstSpear 6/12™
The FirstSpear 6/12™ technology eliminates the webbing and stitching components of traditional modular load bearing designs. The 6/12 platform will work with any MOLLE pockets (just like any other laser-cut MOLLE), but the 6/12 pouches will only mount to 6/12 Platform. The 6/12™ Pocket Attachment System uses state of the art fabric technologies to deliver a completely modular system. This system achieves a 20%-40% reduction in weight per standard Assaulter configuration when compared to traditional MOLLE pockets.
