Product Information
Hard plate carrier with next generation side closure includes integral soft armor side protection and easy-to-position side plates.

The SOHPC was designed for Special Operations Forces and is MSA Paraclete’s latest hard plate carrier. It has been innovatively designed to provide unmatched comfort, protection and flexibility to meet the needs of every mission. Through the addition of an adjustable cummerbund and internal side plate pockets for 6" X 6" hard plates, the SOHPC is the operator’s choice for today’s missions.

Key Features:
• Internal side plate pockets hold standard 6”X 6“ and low-profile hard plates. Plate location can be adjusted for comfort and securely held in place with Mil Spec hook and loop straps and innovative flap closure system.
• Front and rear pockets for E-SAPI style rifle plates with hook and loop closures.
• Cummerbund includes integral level IIIA Dyneema soft armor tested to military fragmentation threats.
• Side closure includes cummerbund and adjustable elastic harness to provide a snug fit and accommodate multiple waist sizes.
• Removable cummerbund easily converts into lightweight stand-alone plate carrier.
• Padded shoulders provide increased comfort during long-term wear.
• New front pull shoulder straps adjust easily. Shoulders include retention loops for increased stability and routing of cables.
• MOLLE-style webbing accommodates all MSA Paraclete and all MOLLE-compatible modular pouches that are designed to fit your mission-specific needs.
• New drop-down front flap has increased load-bearing capacity without sagging. Accommodates long magazines without impeding vest removal.
