INGEGRATED MOLLE & PLATE POCKETS
The SHTF Tactical Vest delivers superior high-level threat protection for vital organs on the front, back and side to side. The SHTF Tactical Vest also has the capability to house additional hard armor plates on the front, back and sides. Integrated MOLLE on the front and back provides custom configuration and quick access for tactical gear.
You’ll be prepared for any Sh*t Hit the Fan scenario with our magnetic quick release closures on the shoulders and sides for quick deployment or removal. The shoulder straps have an added foam rubber layer for extra comfort for heavy gear and identification patches can be displayed on the front Velcro strip. Citizen Armor fabrics are selected to withstand heavy use, for maximum durability.
The SHTF Tactical Vest is made using Citizen Armor Protek™ graphene microfiber technology and comes in our Standard or Elite Options (see chart below for comparison).
