Comfort
What I personally like in the design of this plate carrier, and other Israeli plate carrier designs, is the fact that the buckles and any other adjustment parts do not have a direct contact with the user’s body.
They also don ́t get in the way of other equipment such as backpack straps, COM’s, etc. and allow the shoulder straps to take a perfect shape around the users shoulder, and not some bulky default kind of a shape.
This is often called the ‘turtle’ cage – you can imagine why.
Plates & modularity
The first SALAMANDRA prototype was designed for the Israeli ‘Karmon’ ceramic plates. Due to a smart design which looks like two wings,
you can enter a SAPI plate and the vest would still accept it and keep it in its proper place, preventing the plate from moving around (requires proper user adjustment).
Shape
This SALAMANDRA PC comes with a unique shape design which was originally designed after a dedicated research and field experience.
We took many problems that the end user experienced, and and we developed a solution. This plate carrier offers you perfect freedom of movement, yet without compromising safety.
