Ä Utility Back Panel – detachable
panel with two zippered utility pouches
(smaller on top and larger on the bottom)
and hydration bladder pocket.
Ä Backpack Panel – detachable bac-
kpack with zippered main compartment
(around 20 liters capacity), zippered front
pocket, two open-top side pockets and
full-front MOLLE slots. It does have com-
pression straps on the sides and deta-
chable shoulders straps for stand-alone
configuration.
As mentioned, couple of times alre-
ady, the Bearcat is a minimalistic plate
carrier for high-output operations but
it still might be configured with other
Direct Action accessories too. Running
in it with 12 mags, 6 frags, two radios
and too much pouches and stuff on
such a lightweight carrier is an abomi-
nation. This type of plate carrier should
be deployed with lightweight ballistic
plates because the weight-savings
(which are around 150 grams when
compared to legacy Spitfire) will be lost.
Direct Action Bearcats are proudly
made in Poland from genuine fabrics
and available in Adaptive Green, Coyote
Brown, Ranger Green and Black solid
colors and in Crye MultiCam, PenCott
Wildwood and M81 Woodland camo-
uflage patterns.
