Unlike a traditional harness, the Back Panel features a MOLLE field for the mounting of extra pouches. The Back panel features foam-padded shoulder straps, which are an improvement on traditional harnesses. 25mm QASM clips are included and have adjustable placement points on the harness, allowing the ride height to be adjusted to the operator’s preference. Elastic webbing sewn along the straps also aid cable, hydration tube and antenna management. The back panel is constructed of Omega mesh. This allows airflow and is perfect for littoral ops. A 6×7 PALS field is made from colour-matched webbing. A drag handle made from 40mm webbing runs down the entire back panel. Two webbing straps on either side allow the back panel to clip into chest.
