Cuirass Tiger Elite Plate Carrier (Plate Size M)

The M-TAC Cuirass Tiger Elite Plate Carrier represents the next evolutionary step in the brand’s Plate Carrier line — a modern, modular personal protection and load-bearing system. It is compatible with standard ESAPI (USA) Medium plates (31.8 × 24.1 cm) with cut upper corners. The main feature of the M-TAC Cuirass Tiger Elite is its two-part cummerbund. The upper section is made from a combination of Tegris thermoplastic composite and Cordura® 500D, featuring laser-cut MOLLE slots for attaching additional gear. The construction provides rigidity, stability, and the ability to mount pouches and accessories. The cummerbunds are fitted with Duraflex quick-release buckles made by National Molding (USA). These premium buckles combine a simplified connection system with low weight and high strength. To fasten the buckle, insert the cummerbund part into the slot on the front panel until you hear a click. To release, sharply pull it upward (or downward). The mechanism functions the same on both the left and right sides. The Cuirass Tiger Elite Plate Carrier is made from Cordura® 500D, a durable, abrasion-resistant fabric designed for high-stress tactical use. Inside, 3D mesh padding provides cushioning and promotes airflow for improved comfort. Ergonomic shoulder straps follow the body’s contours naturally, ensuring stability and freedom of movement. On the front panel, a Velcro area with laser-cut MOLLE slots allows attachment of compatible pouches and ID patches. Above it, a water-resistant AquaGuard zippered admin pocket provides space for small essentials such as IDs, keys, or a lighter. At the bottom, a removable quick-detach front module with three magazine pouches ensures secure retention. To prevent accidental detachment from the Velcro base, it is additionally secured with Woojin carabiners. The upper section of this module features perforated tabs (two per pouch) for adjusting the position of the elastic shock cord to customize magazine retention. Elastic side loops allow the storage of chem lights, markers, and other small tools. The rear panel features a classic MOLLE interface and an evacuation drag handle, which can be fixed flat against the back panel using Velcro when not in use. The M-TAC Cuirass Tiger Elite Plate Carrier can be used standalone or expanded with additional modular components as needed, forming a comprehensive load-bearing and equipment integration platform for the modern operator. Materials: Cordura® 500D Tegris composite Buckles: Duraflex (National Molding, USA) Fits: Standard ESAPI Medium plates (31.8 × 24.1 cm) with cut upper corners Camouflage "MULTICAM" was developed by the American company Crye Precision in collaboration with the U.S. Army Soldier Systems Center, commonly known as the U.S. Army Natick Labs. Creating the MULTICAM pattern took over eight years of expeditions, scientific research, data analysis, and practical field tests. It was designed to serve as a universal camouflage solution for the American army. The need for a new camouflage became evident after Operation Desert Storm in Iraq. At the time, the camouflage patterns in use, such as Woodland for forest terrain and Tri-Color Desert for desert operations, failed to provide adequate concealment for soldiers. Each operation still required specialized camouflage, complicating supply logistics and decreasing soldier safety. Even after introducing a new universal digital camouflage (Digital) during operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, the situation did not significantly improve. It became clear that a single universal pattern was necessary, one that would allow a soldier to blend into any terrain and at any distance from an observer. The goal was to create camouflage that worked equally well against various backgrounds, including vegetation, desert, rocky terrain, urban buildings, and ruins, under different lighting conditions and in any climate throughout the year. How does this camouflage work? It seemed almost impossible to achieve such a versatile pattern. However, the designers utilized the limitations of human vision and the structure of our eyes to their advantage. In theory, for camouflage to be effective at long distances, it should consist of large, blurred spots. At closer ranges, especially against backgrounds of foliage and vegetation where the human eye detects small objects more clearly, the pattern should incorporate small, rounded elements of the dominant background. The developers found that the predominant backgrounds across most regions of the globe share similar gradients of green and brown. An important revelation was that black, which is commonly used in camouflage patterns worldwide, does not actually appear in nature. By integrating their findings and conducting computer simulations that layered over a thousand images, the developers successfully created the MULTICAM pattern. Near Infrared (NIR) technology is utilized by the US Department of Defense to minimize detection by NIR electro-optical sensors. These sensors do not detect infrared radiation. NIR uniforms are made from a special fabric that helps soldiers maintain a temperature similar to that of the surrounding landscape, making them harder to spot. Additionally, NIR technology reduces light reflection, making the uniforms less visible in low-light conditions
