The Squeeze ballistic protection and equipment carrying system offers adaptable protection and carrying capacity, considering factors like weight, heat stress, and various challenges.
Features
- The components of the system can be combined in multiple ways, allowing for customization based on the threat, mission, and environment.
- The Squeeze is available in three styles: a plate carrier, a vest, and a long vest. When paired with the side panel pouches (84-00984), the plate carrier and two vests can accommodate the needs of 90% of users.
- The Squeeze sits securely and comfortably on the body, with easy height and width adjustments even while being worn. The plate carrier can be used with either the side panel pouch set or the quick adjust set, both of which attach to the front/side of the carrier using zippers (86-01487), Velcro (86-01488), or buckles for convenient opening and closing.
- The interior features foam ridges for enhanced ventilation, comfort, and reduced trauma. It includes compartments for ballistic panels and ceramic plates on the front and back. The bottom of the plate carrier allows for easy insertion or removal of ballistic panels and plates, as well as attachment of groin protection when necessary.
- MOLLE webbing is present on the front and back for additional modular attachments. Each shoulder has one attachment point for a repair buckle to connect a backpack, while the chest area has two attachment points under the MOLLE webbing for repair buckles to attach the chest panel. An elastic cord runs along the edge of the front to hold hydration tubes or cables.
- The system features removable padded shoulder covers with a cable channel and elastic loops for antennas. When not in use, a flap in the shoulder cover provides a convenient place to store a radio earpiece. Velcro patches on the front and back allow for the attachment of name and unit patches.
- For comprehensive protection, the Squeeze can be combined with the ballistic yoke, small ballistic sleeve set, and ballistic groin protection set.
The product includes the following components: front carrier, back carrier, left and right shoulder cover.
Please note that closures, quick adjust, and side panel pouches are sold separately.
