Plate carrier NOVRITSCH ASPC 1.2 — Everglade

The NOVRITSCH ASPC 1.2 is an airsoft plate carrier built around standard E-SAPI/SAPI size M plates, with an unloaded weight of 1690 g. The included Hex Plate dummy inserts can be swapped for real ballistic plates of the same format, making the carrier suitable for those looking for a structured platform for training or scenario use. It was developed and tested by former Austrian military professionals with the specific demands of airsoft in mind.

The retention system combines magnetic QD releases at the waist and zip buckles on the shoulders — a change introduced in version 1.2 following field testing, where the original magnetic shoulder buckles showed reliability issues under repeated stress. The zip closure on the shoulders is more secure and does not require precise alignment to release, while the magnetic QD releases at the waist allow quick donning and doffing in any conditions. Anyone who needs a fast emergency release will find this combination more dependable than a carrier relying solely on magnetic closures, while still keeping dress time low.

The mesh base with Hex Plate inserts creates an air channel between the body and the fabric, reducing heat build-up on the torso during intense activity. The outer shell in 1000D nylon with nylon stitching has been reinforced at high-stress points in version 1.2. MOLLE webbing covers the front panel, rear panel, and the full side band (cummerbund), allowing the carrier to be configured with pouches and accessories without positional constraints. The laser-cut design optimises anchor point distribution while reducing excess material.

Key points

• Compatible with E-SAPI/SAPI size M plates: accepts the included Hex Plate dummies or real ballistic plates of the same standard, with no adapters needed.
• Magnetic QD release at the waist and zip buckles on the shoulders: version 1.2 replaces the previous magnetic shoulder buckles with a mechanical system that holds up better under repeated load.
• Double-sided shoulder padding added in v1.2: spreads the carrier's weight over a larger area, reducing pressure on the trapezius during extended sessions.
• MOLLE surface on front panel, rear panel, and full cummerbund: complete freedom of configuration with no blind spots on the sides.
• Mesh base with Hex Plate inserts: active ventilation across the torso that limits heat accumulation compared to a solid panel.
• Reinforced stitching at stress points in version 1.2: a direct response to the most common failure points identified during testing.
