When the 5.11 folks developed the TacTec Plate Carrier 1.5, security and functional defense were high on the agenda. The 500 denier nylon construction offers superior penetration resistance without the weight or bulkiness of a traditional flak jacket. So you get high-grade ballistic protection that won't slow you down. The quick release cable system allows the user to completely remove the carrier with a single pull. The TacTec Plate Carrier 1.5 also features breathable airflow channels in zonal areas and padded straps to reduce irritation. And the patent-pending 5.11 low profile GrabDrag handle enables fast recovery of downed personnel. This vest is designed to ensure high performance protection while remaining lightweight and mobile with a secure and comfortable fit. The TacTec Plate Carrier 1.5 delivers durable armor that is battle-tested and ready to withstand the toughest operations.
