GUARDIAN hook & loop panel. The Guardian Dan- gler can be worn as a stand-alone fanny pack/waist pack via an attachable wa- ist strap. The Guardian system was unveiled with a law enforcement (admin) insert for a kangaroo flap and a bunch of poc- kets and pouches. There are smoke (with removable flap and elastic adjust- ment to accommodate different types of grenades), and flashbang pockets (with buckle fastener), pistol magazine pouch (with removable flap), adjustable radio pouch, tourniquet holder (which can be mounted both horizontally and vertically for easier reach) and small zippered cargo/utility pocket Of course, Guardian is fully compa- tible with MOLLE so you can attach whatever pouch you want. Some of the accessories are still not available for pur- chase but we can be more than sure that soon some new additions will appear. LOOSE ROUNDS Guardian Plate Carrier might be pur- chased in parts or as a kit – there is Guardian Plate Carrier Military Kit (Pla- te Bags, Cummerbund and Triple Mag Flap) with 149.99 EUR MSRP and Law Enforcement Kit (Plate Bags, Cumm- berbund, Kangaroo Flap with additional inserts) with 199.99 EUR MSRP. Guardian Plate Carriers are available in medium and large size and in multiple colors. There are solid Black, Navy Blue (LE), Olive Green and Coyote Brown and Multicam, Multicam Black and wz. 93 Pantera Polish Woodland camouflage pat- terns (for camouflage patterns are extra). So far, we have only a limited chance to use Guardian Plate Carrier but first impressions are positive – it is comfor- table, has an easy-to-use adjustment system, and the craftsmanship is good. How it will be in serial models - time will tell. The hardware looks quite solid, but it is definitely inferior in this respect to the top-price PCs made of lightweight laminate fabrics. But let's remember that it is also inferior to them in price. In any case - from the first glance one can assess Guardian as a nice and reasonably designed plate carrier with some interesting accessories (bac- kpack, admin, dangler, horizontal dual mag pouch, and some „ordinary" ones.
