Cummerbund

The ARC Carrier V2 stands as a best in class overt combat arms plate carrier system and was born from a lack of options on the market and a lack feature rich load bearing platforms that would suit the needs of Infantrymen, SOF and SWAT teams alike. The ARC Carrier is designed around providing innovative features, a comfortable chassis, and uninhibited modularity so it can be set up for your particular mission. The ARC Carrier features our innovative Spider Tab System that allows different plate size, shape and thickness to be used and this doubles as fantastic cable management for radios and their PTTs and antennas. On the inner side our StratusFit™ Pads provide comfort and ventilation while our ARC Shoulder Pads offer comfort to bear the load. The front of the carrier can accept most industry standard placards and the rear plate bag can accept both 'lash on' and Velcro style cummerbunds. 

Complete Kit Includes: Front & Rear Plate Bags, Shoulder Straps, Shoulder Pads, StratusFit™ Pads, Selected Cummerbund and Shockcord.


Please Note: Cummerbund Size will correspond to ARC Carrier sizing.

Best carrier on the market

Easily the best plate carrier Ive found. Not only is the design perfect for any and all placards/inserts/pouches, the carrier also happens to be the most comfortable on the market as well. You will get everything you need and more with this carrier. Customer Support also goes above and beyond to answer any and all questions you may have. Only downside is the price but in the end, youll never need or want another carrier after having this. 10/10 would recommend.

Carrier is super well built and thought out, I was concerned about the Cummerbund and how you have to shock cord it but come to realize it's amazing when it comes to expanding while breathing, makes it so much more comfortable, and the first spear tubes are a game changer, paired with the Arc Placard this setup is Dope

Shaw Concepts Plate Carrier - Awesomeness

My buddy has one of these spectacular plate carriers so I was able to try it on and check it out before buying. Quality, thought, and craftsmanship are superb. Will continue to buy Shaw Concepts products in the future! They also restock their items. Glad I got a restock email of the mag inserts since they were out when I bought my carrier. So yes, I bought one the other day even though I’d bought some other one just because I know that Shaw Concepts products are solid and to support USA companies. Highly recommend to anyone questioning whether or not to give them your business. You will be glad you paid a little more.
