Multi-purpose tactical vest for carrying equipment and ammunition with an NIR/IRR feature that provides effective camouflage under night vision.

Field products in PL Woodland camouflage provide NIR (Near Infrared), also referred to as IRR (Infrared Reflective) functionality.

The materials used help reduce the contrast of the wearer’s silhouette when viewed through devices operating in the near-infrared spectrum. All visible fabrics and components are selected to absorb, reflect, and transmit radiation in a way that closely resembles the natural environment – woodland terrain. Each material is tested under both laboratory and field conditions using a spectrophotometer and analog night-vision devices.

A convenient way to carry your gear

The chest rig keeps magazines in the central part of the chest, making access easier while moving and working in confined spaces. The position of the inserts and the height of the flaps can be adjusted to match your own working technique. The design does not restrict movement and works well with a backpack.

Construction resistant to intensive use

It withstands frequent packing and transporting heavy gear, as well as contact with the ground. The product is made of Cordura® 500D, which increases resistance to abrasion and damage. The fabric is coated with a DWR finish, which limits water absorption and makes cleaning easier. We also used YKK® zippers and Woojin® components, which operate reliably even under heavy load and in changing temperatures.

Modular ammunition carrying system.

4 AR/AK magazine pouches
Closed with flaps (can be removed and replaced with shockcord and a puller). Allows you to adjust the level of retention to your working style.

Two universal pockets
Closed with buckles, designed to hold fragmentation or smoke grenades.

Two flat pockets
With a Competition insert, they can hold 2 pistol magazines.

Configuration for pistol magazines
With a Competition insert, the universal pockets can function as pouches for 2 pistol magazines.

MOLLE/PALS-compatible webbing
Allows mounting additional modules without changing the chest rig’s construction.

Attachment points for a dump pouch
The set includes two low-profile carabiners. Thanks to them, you can attach a dump pouch or other accessories.

We equipped the chest rig with functional pockets that allow further personalization.

Large pocket with hook-and-loop panel
Lined with soft hook-and-loop, compatible with VIS system inserts. Allows you to adapt the interior for maps, notes, and small gear.

Pocket opening adjustment
This feature limits excessive pocket opening. It secures the contents from falling out while working on the move.

Internal pocket with YKK® zipper
A separate, zippered compartment isolated from the main load space. Fits a map, notebook, or documents.

The Guardian system is designed to cover a soldier’s full loadout – from belt setups through plate carriers/chest rigs to backpacks

All elements are compatible with MOLLE/PALS, allowing you to configure and expand your gear for specific tasks. Individual system components are also compatible with our VIS (Versatile Insert System) and Competition insert systems.
