Genuine unissued MSA Paraclete plate carrier, from military stock. The plate carrier is designed for full specification 10x12 in SAPI plates to be inserted inside the front and rear portions of the carrier. The cummerbund sides wrap around to the front, and are heavy with non-removable padding. This padding may be ballistically protective, but this is not guaranteed as it cannot be inspected. The MOLLE coverage runs over front, back and sides. Shoulder adjustment can be made via large velcro surfaces. and adjustment can be made at the waist with the large area velcro panels. The plate carrier can be made to fit over 45in chest and up to 6'1 height. Extremely rare item, top quality construction throughout.
