Solved a number of design challenges with the plate carrier tonight so production of the new version starting this week!

Back to work on the v2 Plate Carrier, old cummerbund design (top) with new version below. Redesign is a lightweight webbing construction with integrated MOLLE loops. In colder conditions the (optional) padded back can be added via MOLLE without interfering with any attached pouches.

Introducing the 'compact' utility pouch, same overall size as the standard version but half the depth, ideal for attaching on other MOLLE equipment.
Built with the same YKK zippers and high quality fabric as the full size version.

Constructed from high quality Nylon fabric, fully lined and with genuine YKK zippers these pouches are built to last. 100s of fabric and webbing combinations and a selection of int/ext panel choices the possibilities are endless.

....of ease of manufacture (and therefore cost).
With a firm design in place I've been able to work on the customisation options. At the current time the front & inside lining panels have 5 different mix/match options available. Full details on the website: www.arrayairsoft.net/customisatio...

Another GEN2 pouch taking shape, this time the 3x3 version in MTP. Still working on refining the linings but overall happy with progress.

From raw materials to finished product. The 2nd Generation utility pouches are taking shape with an improved design and inside lining fabric. Just awaiting some supplies to finish the insides before the design is finalised.

Working hard on 2nd Generation utility pouches. These now feature an internal lining (15 different colours available!) and an overall improved design.

Plate Carrier parts list updated. Base configuration (e.g. no extra pouches) is looking to be around £130, roughly 60/40 split between labour and materials cost.
Should have these up on the website today.

Available in a wide range of colours, see the website for more info.

More pouches added to the plate carrier. x2 '3x3' and x1 '4x2' on the back and a pair of '4x2 compact' pouches on the sides.

Additional magazine pouches of the 'B' and 'C' types left to add.

All items handmade by myself and available in a wide range of colours.

Work continues on fully outfitting the plate carrier, starting with the type 'A' magazine pouches. This version is open topped, secured with 3mm elasticated cord and top retention loop. 'B' type pouches will be covered with a velcro flap and 'C' with a 25mm buckle. Both coming soon.

Latest revision of the Plate Carrier design completed. A Height increase of 20mm (to better fit an L size SAPI) has also let me add a rear grab handle and front zipped pocket. Padding design on shoulder straps and cummerbund also improved.

Initial design of the Plate Carrier is complete. Minor changes to the strap/cummerbund padding and a re-worked 'top' section at the front of the main panel will be on the next revision.

Redesign of the drop pouch front panel, removing complexity and awkwardness from the build.

An open zip and how the ends are managed makes it vastly quicker and easier to construct. This new design will serve as the template for all side zip construction on future builds.

The new 3x3 pouch marks the completion of the (current!) range of Utility Pouches in MTP. Other colours are available already but wont be live on the site until I have completed a final version of each style/colour combination.

Compact version of the Drop Utility Pouch is complete. Same
double zip and front pocket as the larger model but a little smaller, more suited for use on the front of a plate carrier.

With a double top zipper and front zipped pocket the new Drop Utility Pouch attaches with Velcro and is designed to sit below the front or back of a plate carrier.

This version is 2.5L and a smaller 1.7L is coming soon.

Available in a wide range of colours.

Utility pouch design has really come together, I've combined several ideas into one cohesive 'family' with larger and compact version of both the 4x2 (landscape) and 3x3 (portrait) in the works. 4x2 MTP and Black are complete with Olive and Cerise in the works.

Working on the Cummerbund design today. Prototyping a more straightforward rear attachment method with Velcro, woven elastic and webbing. Easier and quicker to build than the v1 design.

Front plate carrier section (minus QD panel), shoulder straps/pads complete.

As part of the wider Plate Carrier project I've developed a straightforward, lightweight set of dummy ballistic plates. These are sized to emulate an average 10"x12" (254x305mm) real steel plate so should fit in a majority of 3rd party airsoft plate carriers.

Back to the Plate Carrier today with assembly almost complete on the front panel section. Almost ready for final assembly. Very please with the ease of manufacture and aesthetic, especially in the MTP fabric/webbing.

v2 Utility Pouch completed, a few changes 'behind the scenes' to aid assembly but overall very happy.
