Product Overview
Introduction
Over a decade of relentless innovation has culminated in the Ferro Concepts Plate Carrier (FCPC), a leader in lightweight and adaptable plate carrier design. Our dedication to serving the special operations community is unwavering. Presenting the FCPC V5, an evolution that builds upon the excellence of its predecessors, always striving for improvement.
Design
The FCPC V5 is meticulously crafted with precise pattern making to create a contoured framework, enhancing the synergy between body and armor. This reflects our deep understanding of both human and material movement, resulting in a design that is nearly perfect, yet always ready for further refinement.
Materials
Constructed from 500D Cordura® laminate, the FCPC V5 is built to withstand harsh real-world environments (even the chaos of a Trader Joe’s parking lot on a Sunday). This material choice replaces traditional fabrics, reducing weight while enhancing durability. To address modern armor's dimensional challenges, we integrated Tweave Durastretch® panels, ensuring a broader range of plate fitment and retention
Adaptability
Embracing our ADAPT philosophy, we’ve introduced new features to enhance versatility. The updated zip-on back panel system allows for quick swapping of ADAPT back panels, while maintaining laser-cut MOLLE rows for compatibility with existing products. The improved front plate pocket includes concealed G-hook attachment points, seamlessly integrating with all ADAPT front flaps.The shoulder straps are designed for user customization, with swappable strap hardware to fit personal preferences. Additionally, the built-in full-width admin pocket, paired with a laser-cut MOLLE panel, allows integration of modern mobile device platforms (like ATAK) and accessories, boosting mission efficiency and situational awareness.
Check this out guys and gals! The size of the carrier has nothing to do with your shirt size but everything to do with the size of your armor plate. When choosing your plate carrier size, you will want to pick it to fit what armor you have.
