The Crownarms System
Not just an individual product
Our gear has grown to be what we believe is the most compatible line up of kit that you can use. Using the most universal but sturdy hardware, our gear can be added to nearly every major gear companies' kit, or your can add their stuff to ours. Almost none of our kit is a standalone piece, everything can be attached to something, or have something attached to it.
Crownarms Plate Carrier System
This plate carrier system is incredibly modular, allowing you to easily customize your loadout to fit your needs. Whether you're building a heavy SWAT team loadout or downsizing to a concealable vest, this system has you covered. With its versatile design, you can easily add or remove pouches and accessories to create the perfect setup for any mission.
The harness serves as a sturdy frame for your body armor, allowing you to carry a heavy loadout with ease. By distributing the weight evenly across your back, the harness helps to reduce fatigue and increase mobility, making it an essential piece of equipment for any tactical use. External frames are used for back packs, why wouldn't you want that for armor?
Combat loads can range from 20 to 70 pounds of equipment; deployed soldiers typically experience the heavier side of that range. The most experienced company in this field, Crye Precision, made what is known by high-speed operators as the "gold standard", which is the AVS. Seeing how amazing it works, Crown Arms of course had to make our own version at yet again, a fraction of the price.
The Armor Harness is by far the best way to carry heavy armor and equipment, and it is also the sleekest padding system. Using the shoulder pads and pontoons shown next are cheaper, but they do not carry the weight well and add more bulk around the shoulders.
Most plate carriers come with a padding system that is cost-effective compared to the harness. Although it is not ideal for carrying heavy weight, it does an excellent job of making the armor feel more comfortable and less cumbersome to wear, or it can make the armor lay nice against bony body types. Each pad is easily replaceable and washable.
The padding is Velcroed on and allows for ample breathability around the armor, which also adds some standoff for any bulky equipment on the cummerbund. The pontoon pads and shoulder pads can be machine washed from all sweat and dust collected but cannot be machine dried.
You can fasten your primary cummerbund to the harness as well, using malice clips. These make a simple, secure and sleek bridge between the two.
Either suspension system will work for you, their differences in bulk and added weight is negligible, but nothing compares to the harness for a 30-pound loadout.
