The days of GWOT are gone (for now), but you can still get in the mood by gearing up with proper stuff from that era – gear that has withstood the test of time and combat, like this TYR Tactical PICO-MV Assaulter’s Plate Carrier right here! Available in different sizes and configurations.

Due to export restrictions, the plate carriers with ballistic shoulder pads cannot be shipped outside of Finland.

Features

This is the well-known plate carrier from TYR Tactical – in use by various regular troops and special forces worldwide since 2010. However, the world of surplus is full of surprises – we got a pile of these plate carriers and then noticed that they are not quite identical to each other. Below are the common features as well as the version details.

• Removable MOLLE kangaroo front pouch with an insert for three AR-15/M4 5.56 magazines
• Two large cummerbund flaps for 6" x 6" side plates
• Two small cummerbund flaps
• PALS webbing for MOLLE attachment
• Hydration/communication tabs for routing
• Roomy plate bags easily take most standard-issue and SOF specialty plates
• Antimicrobial/FR-treated padded spacer mesh system
• Reinforced drag handle
• Made in the USA

These plate carriers have a bunch of details – see the photos!
