Aegis was the name of Zeus's shield, making it an appropriate name for a plate carrier. Unlike Zeus's shield, the ATS Aegis plate carrier is a scalable system that allows for application to many different mission sets.
The Aegis V3 has all the same features as previous versions. Underside of the carrier is comprised of a thin closed cell foam pad under a layer of Aero Spacer wicking material. Adjustable two-inch wide shoulder straps, generous amounts of both Velcro and PALS MOLLE webbing on front and back carrier. Along with tree rows across the cummerbund. Two ITW/Nexus Quick Attach Surface Mount buckles to interface with the Slimline Modular Chest Harnesses.
This latest version allows for greater flexibility and options with regards to tactical communications.
Upgrades to the V3 are as follows:
Lengthened side plate pockets in the cummerbund, accept even a wider variety of hard and soft armor
Wire routing slots in both the front and back carrier plate pockets
Two wire routing slots in both cummerbund sides
One GP pouch in each cummerbund side, each capable of hold two spare M4 mags, IFAK items, smoke grenades, and other items.
GP pouches are also sized perfectly for military / police sized radios, secured in place with a built elastic retainer band
Cummerbund is reversible allowing GP pouches to be worn in the front or back
Pull tabs added to the front and back closer flaps as well as reinforced front and back plate pockets
