HELIKON GUARDIAN QD System with Cummerbund Panels - Green

GUARDIAN QD System with Cummerbund side panels by Helikon-Tex

Looking for a fast, reliable and comfortable way to connect the front and back sections of your plate carrier? Want the ability to drop your plate carrier in one motion, for example after taking a hit or falling into water? Need something that makes putting the vest on easier, increases ventilation and still allows mounting pouches and gear on the sides? Then choose the GUARDIAN QD System with Cummerbund panels from Helikon-Tex. This set includes left and right side panels with robust Due Emme QD buckles and a shoulder QD buckle mounted on VELCRO. The panels are made of structural mesh, significantly improving ventilation even when fully equipped with pouches. The outer surface provides full compatibility with the MOLLE system, while the internal Hypalon skeleton reinforces the structure and stabilises mounted gear. The QD system enables quick vest release in emergencies as well as easier donning without opening the front flap. The set is designed for Helikon-Tex GUARDIAN plate carriers and other models using the same VELCRO attachment.
