Quick-release side panels connecting the front and back of the plate carrier
The Guardian Cummerbund Quick Release is a set of side panels for the tactical vest that fasten its front and back. In addition to the side panels, the set includes an extra strap with a buckle that attaches to one of the harnesses. Both the cummerbund and the harness are equipped with quick-release buckles with anti-slip handles, allowing for quick unfastening and dropping of the vest in emergencies. This set also allows for more comfortable donning of the vest, eliminating the need to unfasten the front flap every time. The cummerbund is primarily made of a structural mesh that provides additional ventilation, even with mounted equipment. The surface of the cummerbund features a modular system compatible with MOLLE/PALS. Underneath the modular system straps is a skeletal panel made from Hypalon material, which stabilizes the carried equipment and provides adequate rigidity to the side panel itself.
