Tips and notes

Front panel attachment

The front plate bag attachment points are compatible with most placards and chest rigs out there. This means you can run our PC18 with a Mayflower UW chest rig, or Esstac Daeodon panel. The PC18 does not come with QASM buckles installed since our own front panels and chest rigs use G-hooks.

Velcro One-Wrap

We use One-Wrap instead of the common closed elastic band loops for cable/tube/antennae management. One-Wrap is super easy and fast to use and does not require you to disconnect plugs from your comms and valves from your hydration tubes. Just open up the wrap, place whatever you want to attach to it in place, and roll it up.

Cummerbund hook-and-loop attachment

We chose hook-and-loop for the cummerbund attachment for the simple reason that this offers the most options for the end-user to run their PC18 with different brands and manufacturers' cummerbunds. To attach the PALS webbing cummerbund, we use a simple and reliable hook-and-loop shock cord adapter.

Hook-and-loop hanging accessories

The plate bag bottom openings follow the industry-standard construction style. This makes the PC18 compatible with the multitude of different hook-and-loop attachable hang mounted accessories out these, such as the Ferro Concepts Dangler and Haley Strategic Multi-Mission Hanger. And of course our very own Särmä TST Hanger Utility Pouch.
