Antithesis™ Plate Carrier (Coming Soon)

During the American Revolution, body armor was almost non-existent for soldiers because it was useless against muskets. When used, it was generally called a cuirass (steel breastplate) for cavalry or a gorget (neck armor) for officers. Some soldiers occasionally used heavy, outdated 17th-century armor, but they were usually abandoned due to weight constraints and inefficiency.
Thus, we bring you the Antithesis™ Plate Carrier, a distinct lightweight opponent to heavy armor worn by soldiers of the past and even today. Antithesis means something that is the direct opposite of something else, and in today’s modern battlefield, speed and agility can be the difference (antithesis) between life and death.
Many carriers today are still plagued by overly-complicated designs with heavy fabrics that add additional weight to the armor they are carrying. With Antithesis, we have eliminated unnecessary bulk through intelligent design and careful planning while still harnessing superior comfort and features compared to other carriers.
Premium, MIL-SPEC, Berry Compliant materials are utilized throughout the Antithesis with reinforced bartack stitching at critical stress points. Modularity is packed into this vest allowing it to transform from a slick setup into a full loadout. It can be used in conjunction with our chest rigs and PiggyBack Pack, along with other placards and plate carrier packs on the market.
Antithesis has the ability to attach our H-harness for even more modular options. This allows the user to drop their plate bags quickly, but still have a full chest rig loadout without all the extra bulk of wearing straps on top of straps. This feature can be valuable for reconnaissance missions where switching between plate carrier and chest rig setups is achieved in seconds without having to remove and reattach all of your gear.
Hence, the Antithesis Plate Carrier is unlike anything else on the market - spearheading an ethos of modularity by crossing previous boundaries of life-saving, personal protection equipment.
