Aegis was the name of Zeus's shield, making it an appropriate name for a plate carrier. Unlike Zeus's shield, the ATS Aegis plate carrier is a scalable system that allows for application to many different mission sets.
The Aegis V3 has all the same features as previous versions. Underside of the carrier is comprised of a thin closed cell foam pad under a layer of Aero Spacer wicking material. Adjustable two-inch wide shoulder straps, generous amounts of both Velcro and PALS MOLLE webbing on front and back carrier. Along with tree rows across the cummerbund. Two ITW/Nexus Quick Attach Surface Mount buckles to interface with the Slimline Modular Chest Harnesses.
This latest version allows for greater flexibility and options with regards to tactical communications.
