Many modern plate carriers now employ quick release mechanisms but they always come at the expense of not being able to adjust the fit easily. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe K19 employs our Egress™ Quick-release system and proprietary Fast-Adjust™ Cummerbund that can be adjusted and fine-tuned in real time, by the wearer. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGetting the perfect fit can depend on your specific mission loadout, what you're wearing underneath (which can change mid-mission), or even on how much you've eaten for lunch. We know that the ability to adjust it yourself, on the fly, is critical in order to avoid unnecessary fatigue and compromised combat awareness. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe K19 has a one-size-fits-all cummerbund and multi-size plate bags solving the need to make complicated and risky sizing choices when buying. You know it will always fit you or members of your team regardless of your loadout or mission set. This is also important for procurement professionals who can be sure it will fit all their guys (or girls) well. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fast-adjust cummerbund also has a built-in stretch element which allows the vest to be pulled in nice and tight so it doesn't bounce when you run, but that gives you that inch or so of stretch needed when dropping to a knee so the carrier doesn't squash their torso. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe latest version of the K19 is also placard-compatible, with both upper attachment points and a new laser-cut loop overlay. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis new layer gives you the best of all worlds. It allows you to either add velcro-backed placards instantly, or use the mil spec, bartacked molle underneath to attach regular molle pouches. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike other carriers, the shoulder area quick-release buckles are set way back so they don't interfere with your rifle stock and yet are easily accessible. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen it comes to comfort, The K19 shares many of the comfort features of the combat-proven Agilite K5, which is considered to be the most comfortable plate carrier on the market. \u003cbr\u003eSuch comfort features include generous fusion-foam shoulder padding for extreme comfort even during prolonged use. Anyone who's spent time in the Military knows that even the shortest of missions can turn into several day ops. Comfort is not a luxury, it's a necessity to stay alert and not distracted in hostile environments where complacency can cost you your life. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the secrets to the K19’s comfort level is that the shoulder straps create a proprietary \"V\" shape to center mass which spreads weight over maximum surface area and relieves pressure points.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe rear of the K19 plate bags have a triple layer of low profile fusion foam to remain comfortable even when using the K19 with hard steel or ceramic armor plates. Steel or ceramic plates often have hard corners and edges that can dig in to your torso when using regular plate carriers but the K19 has inherent padding to prevent this from happening. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe K19 is also Agilite K-Series compatible, meaning that it has ability to attach the AMAP III Assault pack directly to it in seconds. No threading MOLLE, no hassle. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the rear, the cummerbund has numerous attachment points for the mil-spec G hooks, allowing a perfect fit for all, from the largest to smallest person, without making the plate carrier unnecessarily large or prohibitively small. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe K19 has gone from the front lines of Israeli Special Forces to being one of the top-selling plate carriers in the USA. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt has traveled many miles and has crossed borders into some of the most dangerous places in the world in order to bring you one of the most detailed and thought out plate carriers on earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterchangeable Shoulder Buckles (both left and right) with minimalist slide buckles included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated Egress™ Quick-release system\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProprietary one-size-fits-all Fast-Adjust™ Cummerbund  that can be adjusted by the wearer in real time.\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShoulder Egress buckles set back so they don’t interfere with rifle stock placement\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne-size plate bag with internal adjuster to fit all common plate sizes perfectly (Up to 10x12 Shooters or 10.25x13.25 SAPI)\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne-Size-fits-all cummerbund-no risks or sizing decisions to be made during purchase-fit for very small-very large people.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlacard-compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront zip admin pocket\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFusion foam shoulder padding for comfort during prolonged use\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProprietary \"V\" design spreads weight over maximum surface from shoulders to center mass area to avoid pressure points.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear drag handle\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkeletal shoulders for comms and hydration tubes\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront and rear laser cut hook and loop panels\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAgilite K Series™ compatible\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned, tested and battle-proven in Israel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1000D CORDURA® Mil Spec Tactical Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMil Spec polymer buckles and hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEgress™ Quick-release system and proprietary Fast-Adjust™ Cummerbund. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaser cut Velcro MOLLE overlay panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits any size S, M or L plates up to 1.5” thick.  \u003cspan\u003e(Up to 10x12 Shooters or 10.25x13.25 SAPI)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHook and loop chest panel dimensions: 25cm * 9cm (9.8\" x 3.5\") \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaser-engraved Mil Spec Polymer cord pulls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 2.5lbs (1.1kg) Including Fast-Adjust Cummerbund™\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSIZING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe K19 is a ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL plate carrier that will fit all body types, shapes and sizes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat About Plate Size? \u003cbr\u003eGood News-the K19 has “one-size-fits-most” plate bags.
