Ä Utlility Back Panel – detachable panel with two zippered utility pouches (smaller on top and larger on the bot- tom) and hydration bladder pocket. Ä Backpack panel – detachable backpack with zippered main compart- ment (around 20 liters capacity), zip- pered front pocket, two open-top side pockets and full-front MOLLE slots. It does have compression straps on the sides and detachable shoulders straps for stand-alone configuration. What I would add to this impressive collection is the simpler MOLLE back panel without a hydration pocket. Just a piece of fabric with MOLLE slots for custom arrangement or those who do not need anything on the back. Price for the kit would be like the legacy Spitfire but with other features from Spitfire Mk II. Sounds like a good idea? You know where to send royalty fees, DA Team? panels. The plate carrier might be still carried that way but since it was desi- gned for the detachable panels in mind, there are a couple of them available. Ä Breacher Panel, with small zippe- red utility compartment in the bottom and four pockets for flashbangs above. There is also a flat hydration bladder pocket which might be used to carry breaching tools. There are also some MOLLE slots for; Ä Assault Panel, with zippered utili- ty compartment and three pockets with flaps for magazines or flashbangs. The flat hydration bladder pocket is also there; Ä MOLLE Panel – simple panel co- vered with multiple MOLLE slots for custom pouches arrangements. It does feature the hydration bladder pocket and large Velcro patch/MOLLE slots pa- nel outside the upper pocket. If you had a flap already installed in the first generation, they were useless. Why? The cummerbund was over them…. Third change is increased estate of the Velcro loop on the top part of the front plate bag. You have more space to put your fancy morale patches now. Or you can place the bigger ones. There are also some minor tweaks in the sewing and sewing lines, let's say technical details, which are not extre- mely important from the user point of view. The rear plate bag was streamlined and the most significant change due the weight reduction was removing its "back". It was a layer of Cordura main fabric with MOLLE slots and two verti- cal side zips for modular back panels attachment. The lower part was used to attach the cummerbund. In Mk II the rear part is "cut-open". There is only a Velcro loop and vertical zips for modular back EQUIPMENT
