HPC® EVOLVE Plate Carrier | Next Generation Tactical Vest | HEXATAC
The HPC EVOLVE® Plate Carrier Vest is the result of a collaboration with Khimaira Strategy Tactics. The goal of this new vest was to offer a vest oriented for high-intensity combat, both comfortable, allowing to carry large loads over several days while remaining light and minimalist.
Mission Accomplished.
Minimalist: The plate pockets fit the protective plate - no superfluous material.
Scalable: Ultra-light or heavy minimalist configuration with 3a soft covers (coming soon) the HPC-E® will adapt to all missions and jobs.
Comfortable: Its rigid structure allows to optimally distribute the load on the body. The shoulder pads are provided and the velour inside is comfortable as is and can accommodate additional comfort pads to best adapt to the morphology of each person.
What's included:
A front plate pocket
A back plate pocket
A pair of shoulder straps
A pair of shoulder foams
A pair of elastic shoulder sleeves
Cummerbunds are not supplied.
Plate Compatibility:
The size chosen must correspond to the size of the plates and not to that of the user.
The HPCE-E® vest has been designed to adapt to any morphology regardless of the size of the vest.
SLIM: SAPI MEDIUM, Shooter’s cut Medium, in thickness less than 20mm
STANDARD: SAPI MEDIUM, Shooter’s cut MEDIUM, Plates 25x30cm, « 10×12 », Standalone administrative plates.
Exterior:
Front
On the front, you can anchor your EUD (End User Device) using the mounting of your choice: Juggernaut®, Kaegwers® etc. The loops on the upper part of the front are reinforced and designed for this purpose.
Three front panel anchor heights will allow you to use virtually all front panels on the market: you can anchor yourself at the appropriate height and remove unnecessary loops inside the vest.
The HPC-E® Plate Carrier Vest is also compatible with Crye Precision®, Unobtainium Gear® etc. brand front panels.
Loops for anchoring quick release buckles are available on each side and will be compatible with 80mm, 40mm and 25mm “tube” type buckles.
Back
The back has a large velcro panel to attach a unit velcro bib.
The first row of Molle is reinforced to better accommodate your zip backpanel (compatible with Crye Precision®, Direct Action®, etc.).
The zip fasteners are anchored on the rigid inner side of the vest for a more static anchorage and a load of the backpanel distributed within the rigid chassis.
At the bottom, on the velcro flap, an opening allows the elastic cord of the cummerbunds to pass through and to offer a quick adjustment of the length of the cummerbunds according to the layers worn.
Interior:
The interior of the vest is covered in velour: it is both comfortable as is and allows you to add comfort pads if necessary.
A high opening is present to evacuate as much of the heat generated by the user as possible.
Features
The shoulder straps are completely removable, which will allow you to change the buckles connecting the shoulder straps to the front plate pocket of your HPC® Plate Carrier Vest. You can use any buckle that fits on a 25mm strap from the standard ITW buckle to an Austri Alpin quick release buckle by passing through the metal rings.
Shoulder spacing adjustment. With the HPC EVOLVE® Plate Carrier Vest, you can adjust the spacing of the shoulder straps according to your body shape, if you wish over a pack of soft protections etc. All you have to do is remove the shoulder strap anchors and mount them in the appropriate position like MOLLE loops. The adjustment is done in the plate pocket and we advise you to remove your ballistic protection from the front plate pocket to facilitate access to the adjustment.
Mounting a Velcro 3-in-1 Dangler. You can mount a Velcro Dangler directly on the HPC® Plate Carrier Vest. The advantage of a permanent mounting is multiple: it prevents having to remove the belt every time you remove the plate carrier or the front pocket, shifts the center of gravity to improve comfort - especially during fast runs and in a crouching position. This mounting is compatible with the standard direction of Velcro belts (loops at the front, hooks on the body side), but thanks to our proprietary closure, the Velcro hook that tends to prematurely wear out combat shirts will never come into contact with them.
Cummerbund compatibility. The HPC-E® vest will perform at its best with cummerbunds that have been specifically developed for it. However, it remains compatible with any 75mm high front and rear velcro cummerbunds (3 rows of Molle).
