technology. The front panel attaches via
G-hook buckles, delivering a uniform, low-pro-
le surface with no protruding hardware, maxi-
mizing MOLLE usability.
The rear of the carrier is tted with a quick-
mount system for additional panels using sep-
arating zippers. This solution is compatible
with other products in the MAPA Tactical line
and with the new carrying system.
Also new are redesigned pockets on both sides
of the rear panel for atape antenna. Addition-
ally, the vest includes retention points for ca-
bles or antennas: two on the front and four on
the rear.
The cummerbunds are made from Cordura
®
500/500D laminate combined with modern
CURV composite material. This combination
provides sufcient stiffness to the belt, trans-
lating into increased wearing comfort. The
outer side of the cummerbunds is covered with
laser-cut MOLLE, while the inner side has soft
loop Velcro for attaching an additional ballistic
insert. The new plate mounting method uses
specially designed hook-and-loop straps that
ensure stable seating of the plate. This system
allows the use of various plate models availa-
ble on the market.
With comfort and hygiene in mind, the vest is
equipped with replaceable spacer panels that
improve airow between the vest and the wear-
er's body. The vest's weight without ballistic
plates does not exceed one kilogram.
Alongside the ROCK 4.0 vest, a carrying sys-
tem based on the well-known PATROL back-
pack will also be shown. MASKPOL has
expanded the line with three new designs,
creating a system of backpacks ranging from
10 to 80 liters.
