The Antithesis™ Plate Carrier is unlike any other carrier on the market. We wanted to offer a simple, yet scalable solution to carry plates seamlessly with our chest rig ecosystem. It is sold as a base configuration, front and rear plate bags only. This platform allows you to swap between plate carrier and chest rig configurations on the fly.
Our plate bags feature the ability to flex for different plate sizes and can hold either medium or large SAPI/ESAPI plates with zero slop. Foam pontoons/padding can be inserted underneath the mesh panel inside of the bags to create a superior airflow channel that dissipates heat through the holes of the mesh and out of the carrier away from your body. This method eliminates entrapment of heat or moisture.
If you already own one of our chest rigs, you can simply add the plate bags to your existing harness without having to purchase an entirely new plate carrier. This is a huge cost savings for those who already own our chest rigs. If you do not own one of our chest rigs, you can build out this system and customize it to your requirements into a full carrier setup.
The optional FlexCore™ Cummerbund (sold separately) turns the Antithesis into a load-hauling modular beast that delivers extreme expandability, comfort, and rigidity.
Additionally, low-profile elastic cummerbunds can be purchased and utilized with this system along with most other cummerbunds on the market.
Our chest rig Shoulder Harness slides into the patent pending Universal H-harness Receiving Sleeve on the rear plate bag, then clips into the front plate bag either with our proprietary hardware or by using the buckles that came with your chest rig after attaching it as a placard.
This system allows you to carry your plates with you while running certain drills or missions, then quickly attach or detach the harness to run Antithesis as a plate carrier or chest rig.
Antithesis is made using lightweight but heavy-duty, hydrophobic materials such laser-cut 1500D laminate and 250D polyester Omega™ Mesh that is treated with Brookwood-ZERO™ DWR (a PFAS-free, C0 water-repellent finish). These materials make our carrier system extremely versatile for both arctic and arid environments.
