The Direct Action Spitfire Plate Carrier by Direct Action is the lightest tactical vest in its class designed for carrying SAPI/ESAPI ballistic inserts.
The Direct Action Spitfire Plate Carrier is the lightest tactical vest in its class with versatile applications, crafted from laser-cut Cordura and softshell material. Its modern, modular design and highest quality craftsmanship ensure both resistance to mechanical damage and complete comfort during use. The use of laser-cut Cordura technology significantly reduces the vest's weight while maintaining camouflage consistency across its entire surface. The vest consists of two panels – front and back – which are connected and adjustable through Velcro straps. The Spitfire Plate Carrier is available in three sizes, each designed to accommodate SAPI/ESAPI ballistic inserts secured in two bottom-closed Velcro pockets. Instead of traditional MOLLE/PALS tapes, the entire surface of the vest features laser-cut slots, allowing for versatile configurations of pouches and accessories. Additionally, the front panel can be replaced with a dedicated one featuring an integrated pouch system. The interior of the vest is lined with softshell material, and four longitudinal Velcro straps allow optional attachment of soft spacer pads. The front panel includes a longitudinal Velcro strip for patches or infrared identifiers, along with adjustable loops on both sides for routing radio cables or a hydration system tube. The vest also includes shoulder pads attached via Velcro, ensuring even weight distribution. At the bottom, there is a comfortable Cummerbund made of laminate and trimmed with softshell. The design allows for the attachment of side ballistic inserts using separately available adapters. The Direct Action Spitfire Plate Carrier offers various solutions for customization based on user needs. On the front, there are clasps for attaching D.A. Tempest, Tiger Moth, and Hurricane chest rig panels, secured with elastic material. On the back, a large Velcro panel and zippers on the sides allow for attaching the Spitfire Assault Panel module. Additionally, the vest can be equipped with a quick-release system, allowing for the rapid removal of the entire setup in emergency situations. The product should be cleaned according to the manufacturer's recommendations, in temperatures up to 30°C. It is advisable to use a damp sponge or Cordura cleaning and care products instead of washing.
