This changes the entire way we construct the plate carrier, which is why our plate carriers feel and function so uniquely. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe top loading plate bag design also allows for our shoulder strap design that keeps the shoulders low bulk and away from the neck to avoid chaffing, but more importantly, have an incredible range of adjustability (14\"). This ensures that the operator, no matter how big or small, can properly size their ride height to ensure an ergonomic fit that properly distributes the weight load of the carrier. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeople tend to think weight distribution is all in the cummerbund, \u003cem\u003ebut it starts with the ride height\u003c\/em\u003e. This design allows users to dial that in and keep the rear plate bag sitting as high on the back as possible. When the rear plate bag hangs low, your center of gravity shifts. This forces your head and neck to crane forward to balance the weight, and this constant tension in the rhomboids and trapezius muscles leads to chronic pain and trigger point tension between the shoulder blades. AKA: that pain you feel between your shoulder blades when you wear kit for extended periods of time \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe've updated the rear plate bag to be compatible with virtually every cummerbund, whether they attach via Velcro, 1\/8\" or 3\/16\" shock cord. It's common in the tactical gear industry to mix and match components from different companies, so we ensured users have as many options as possible when choosing a cummerbund. \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe also ensured users have as many options as possible when choosing an attachment for the front plate bag. The A-JAC 3.0 is compatible with not only G-Hooks and Split Bar Buckles, but now also Crye Precision style front flaps and placards. This is a huge plus, especially to service members that want to upgrade their plate bags but still be able to use as many issued items as possible. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the bigger adjustments we've made to the A-JAC is adding Universal Carrier Attachment Standard (UCAS) Standard #10 Zippers for compatibility with Spiritus Systems and Ferro Concepts zip on back panels (for compatibility with Crye Precision back panels, purchase their MOLLE on adaptors \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"crye precision zip on panel adaptors\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cryeprecision.com\/Zip-On-Panel-Adapter\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e) \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor optimal comfort, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.javlinconcepts.com\/products\/plate-carrier-cushions\" title=\"Carrier cushions for shoulder straps or plate bags\"\u003eCushions\u003c\/a\u003e are included for the shoulder straps.
